than in the type and the gynostegium rather more slender, but 

 otherwise there is no difference in the flower. Fruits not seen. 



We are rather in doubt whether this form should not rather 

 rank as a species, but the arrangement of the hairs in the corolla 

 seems to be merely a more perfect adaptation to insect fertiliza-

 "Flora Australiensis " are more sharply distinguished from each 

 other than the variety Dunnii is from the typical M. rostrata.

 VELLEYA MONTANA Hook. f. 



Between Clarence and Wolgan( J. H. Maiden; November, 1906). 



A rare southern plant found occasionally in bleak situations 

 in the Blue Mountains. We recorded the first Blue Mountain 

 locality in 1903 (Medlow), and we are now able to add a second. 



LAUEACE5). 



Endiandra Discolor Benth. 



Matcham's Brush and Hogan's Brush near Gosford(A. Murphy; 

 June, 1906, fruiting specimens). 



Most southern locality. Not previously recorded south of the 

 Hastings River. Mr. Murphy writes that it is common in the 

 district and is probably the tallest tree in the bush. It attains 

 a stem-diameter of 6 feet, though the average thickness of the 

 trees cut by the timber-getter is 2-3 feet in diameter. The local 

 name is "Teakwood," and it is considered good, fairly hard timber. 



*LlTSEA ZEYLANICA Nees. 



Cape Byron (E. Betche; March, 1896); Mt, Lindsay, Mac- 

 pherson Range (W. Forsyth; September, 1900); Acacia Creek, 

 Macpherson Range (J. L. Boorman; February, 1905)— all in 

 New South Wales. 



A very common Queensland plant, but not hitherto found in 

 New South Wales. The three localities given here are all within 

 10 miles of the border of the two States.
