almost appressed in the new growth, striate, usually about 1 line long. 
Flowers in compact or loose cylindrical spikes, mostly about 1 in. long. 
Calyx-tube cylindrical, about 1 line long, glabrous, lobes shorter than 
the tube. Petals twice as long as the calyx, lobes persistent. Staminal 
bundles 2 lines long, the claw scarcely exceeding the petals, each with 
numerous filaments. Fruiting calyx globular, about 2 lines in diameter. 
Hab.: Tarampa, F, M. Bailey ; Rosewood (collector ?); low swampy 
country between Jimboomba and Canungra, C. T. White. 
We have had these specimens in the Queensland Herbarium for 
some years past. The Rosewood material bears no collector’s name 
but the sheet bears the date of July 1879; the Tarampa specimens 
bear no date but must have been collected over forty years ago; the 
others were gathered in February 1912; they had been placed under 
M. tamariscina, Hook., but their identification with M. Irbyana, R. T. 
Baker, has been pointed out to me by Mr. J. H. Maiden. F. M. Bailey 
in the ‘‘ Queensland Flora” quotes Mitchell’s specimens from the 
Belyando River and adds, “‘ and other localities in the south-west.” I 
Herbarium but have not been able to find any of the true 
. tamariscina, and apparently it has not been gathered since Mitchell 
collected the original material in 1846.
