NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 675 



Mr. Maiden exhibited many of the plants referred to in the 

 paper by Mr. Betche and himself; also examples of two species 

 of New South Wales Halorrhagis from the Vienna herbarium, 

 namely, H. longifolia Schindler. and H. scoparia Fenzl. 



Mr. Cheel exhibited fresh specimens of Davlesia buxifolia 

 Benth. [N.O. Leguminosce], raised from seed collected at Eden, 

 Twofold Bay, in December, 1903; and he communicated the 

 following Note thereon. — "At present the only published record of 

 the occurrence of this species in the State is that afforded by the 

 ' Flora Australiensis ' (ii. 75), namely, "between Wombim river 

 and False Bay, Mossman"; but neither the river nor the bay had 

 been located on any available map, and the ' Gazetteer ' did not 

 mention them. Mr. J. H. Maiden had suggested that probably 

 what was intended was Womboyn River, just south of Twofold 

 Bay. Specimens of the plant in the National Herbarium have 

 been collected more recently by Mr. J. L. Boorman at Boonoo 

 Boonoo, in November, 1904; and at Acacia Creek, Macpherson 

 Range, by Mr. Dunn, in November, 1906. There are also specimens 

 from Gippsland, Victoria, collected by Mr. R. Millard, M.P., 

 who reports that the plant is called " Hop-bush," and that it is 

 eaten by cattle. Baron von Mueller considered D. buxifolia to 

 be a variety of D. latifolia R.Br., but Mr. Bentham (I.e.) remarks 

 that " if so, the specimens show it to be a very well-marked and 

 distinct form." The cultivated specimens exhibited, which are 

 identical with the parent plant, lend support to Mr. Bentham's 

 conclusion." 



Mr. Cheel also showed specimens, and communicated the sub- 

 joined list, of ten species of New South Wales Hepatics, including 

 one previously undescribed, from determinations by Dr. Stephani, 

 kindly forwarded by the Rev. W. W. Watts.
