314 NOTES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS, SYDNEY, No. 13, 



the fruit, the lower lobe slightly longer and narrower, glabrous 

 inside and outside. Corolla purplish-blue, large, apparently 

 spreading to nearly J inch in length when fully out. Anthers 

 with short appendages on each cell, all many times shorter than 

 the cells and of equal length. Style long. Ripe nuts not seen. 

 This new species belongs to Bentham's Series Convexse of 

 Section Euprostanthera. It should be placed in the system next 

 to P. empetrifolia Sieb.; but it is really not closely allied to any 

 described species, and is readily distinguished by the characters 

 given above. The leaves are not " terete " in the strict meaning 

 of the word, but they appear so at first sight, and approach 

 nearer to terete than in any other species of the genus.

CYPERACE.E. 

 Kyllingia triceps Rottb. New for New South Wales. 



Port Jackson district (J. L. Boorman; April, 1907). 



We have to thank Mr. S. Kneucker, the editor of the Cyper- 

 aceae exsiccatse, for the determination of this species. It is 

 common in the Port Jackson district, but is probably mixed up 

 also in other herbaria with K. monocephala Rottb., and K. 

 cylindrica Nees. Herr E. Palla writes on the printed labels 

 issued with Kneucker's exsiccatse : — " Those species of Kyllingia 

 whose headlets are whitish are frequently mixed up with each 

 other. K. monocephala is distinguished from all others by the 

 winged keel of the glumes, and also by the white anthers, a 

 character I have never seen mentioned in the literature of this 

 species; the anthers of all other species are yellow. K. triceps is 

 distinguished from its nearest ally, K. cylindrica Nees, by the 

 fruit which is from elliptical to narrow-elliptical in K. triceps, 

 and nearly or quite orbicular in K. cylindrical 



From these notes we revised our species of Kyllingia and found 

 K. triceps quite common in the Port Jackson district; but all
