100 mm. tube, and the refractive index at 20°C. was D4898. 

 The crude oil is entirely soluble in 1 volume 80 per cent, alcohol 

 (by weight). Aromadendral is present, and the lsevo-rotation of 

 the oil appears to be entirely due to that aldehyde, because the 

 oil distilling below 178°C. only had 1-7° rotation to the left in 

 100 mm. tube, whilst the oil distilling between 178° and 205°C. 

 was lsevo-rotatory 6 - 8°, and both lsevo-rotatory phellandrene and 

 pinene were absent. According to our present knowledge the oil 

 of this species has little commercial value (Henry G. Smith).

COMPOSITE. 



Olearia axillaris F.v.M. — Usually regarded as a coastal 

 species, is now to be recorded for Mount Hope (W. Bauerlen).

*Achras chart acea F.v.M. — Occurs at Tumbulgum (Tweed 



River), Ballina (Richmond River), having been collected by W.

ASCLEPIADE^. 



Tylophora barbata B.Br. — The distribution of this species 



may now be extended from Port Jackson north to Putty (A. C. 



Barwick). Mr. Barwick's specimens are pale on the underside, 



a feature not mentioned in the " Flora Australiensis" (iv. p.335).

 corded from the North Coast District (C. M. Moore), has been 

 collected at New Angledool by Mr. A. C. Paddison.
