NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, SYDNEY 



No. 13. 

 By J. H. Maiden and E. Betche. 



DILLENIACE JE . 

 Hibbertia fasciculata R.Br. var. clavata, n.var. 



Ranges on the banks of Bylong Creek, Goulburn River (R. T. 

 Baker; November, 1892). 



Apparently an erect shrub of more than one or perhaps more 

 than two feet in height, nearly glabrous. Leaves much fascicled,, 

 the longest exceeding half an inch in length, all slightly and 

 rather abruptly broadened at the apex and occasionally slightly 

 bilobed. 



This new variety is sharply distinguished from the type by 

 the spathulate or clavate leaves. As in the type, the leaves are 

 more or less concave with incurved margins; in the narrow-leaved 

 normal forms this is only apparent on close inspection under a 

 lens, but the broad apex in our new variety makes it very 

 apparent. The leaves are occasionally completely doubled up, so 

 that the term clavate appears more appropriate than that of 

 spathulate. 



We have to thank Mr. Baker for permission to describe the 

 specimen collected by him.
