COMPOSITE. 



Helichrysum bracteatum Willd. 



Torrington, near Deep water, in swamps (H. Deane; March, 

 1907). 



A remarkable form with strictly radical leaves, stem-leaves 

 reduced to long linear sessile bracts, crowded under the flower- 

 head. 



CONVOLVULACEiE. 



Tpomcea heterophylla R.Br. New for New South Wales. 



Moree (J. T. W. Scott; February, 1907). 



A species recorded from South Australia, Queensland and North 

 Australia, but not previously collected in New South Wales. 



LABIATE. 

 Prostanthera teretifolia, n.sp. 



Torrington, in glabris saxosis graniticis (R. H. Cambage, 

 September mensis mdccccvii). 



Frutex erectus,tres usque ad quattuor pedes altus,coloris obscure 

 viridis propter squamas tenues et exalbidas quae ramos,foliatenera, 

 calycesque tegunt. Folia lineari-teretia, striata infra, circiter 

 quinque lineas longa. Flores solitarii in axibus foliorum breviter 

 pedicellati, sine bracteis. Calyx vix duas lineas longus, tubus 

 striatus, lobi super fructum interclusi, glaber in parte interiore 

 «t exteriore. Corolla indica expandit fere ad partem mediam 

 unciae longitudine. Antherae brevibus adjunctis ad omnes 

 cellas, omnes multo breviores quam cellae et longitudinis aequalis. 

 Fructus non vidimus. 



An erect dense shrub of dull green colour, about 3 to 4 feet 

 high, the branches, young leaves and calyces covered with minute 

 thin whitish scales, otherwise glabrous. Leaves linear-terete, 

 grooved on the underside, about 5 lines long, obtuse, shortly 

 petiolate and often appearing clustered from the shortness of the 

 leafy side-shoots on which they are crowded. Flowers shortly 

 pedicellate, solitary in the axils of the leaves, without any bracts. 

 Calyx hardly 2 lines long, the tube striate, the lobes closed over
