NOTES ON THE GENERA DARWINIA HOMORANTEUS AND RYLSTONEA. 73 
Herbarium, Sydney, which may be referred to this variety 
are from the follofwing localities:—Beecroft, H.G. Jacobs; 
Hornsby, W. F. Blakely and D. W. Shiress; Peats Ferry 
Road, H. Deane; Tumble-down Dick, W. F. Blakely; Cowan 
A.A. Hamilton, J. L. Boorman, and R. H. Anderson. There 
are also specimens from Linden to Woodford, Mr. A. A. 
Hamilton, which seem to belong to this variety rather than 
the typical tawxifolia. 
D. taxifolia A. Cunn. var. grandiflora Benth. B.FI, iii, 12. 
Through the kindness of W. Laidlaw, B.Sc.,and Mr. J. R. 
Tovey of the National Herbarium, Melbourne, I have been 
able to examine the original specimen of the above variety 
collected in the Illawarra district. We have in the National 
Herbarium specimens from West Dapto, R. H. Camhage, 
and Cataract Dam, J. H. Maiden, which are identical with 
the specimen recorded by Bentham, l.c. Cataract River, 
J.H. Maidenand H.Cheel; West Dapto, R. H. Cambage (No. 
415); Mooney Creek, Gosford, Miss Brewster. The Catar- 
act River specimens collected by Mr. Maiden have rather 
larger flowers of a rich purple colour and a longer style 
(10 mm. long) than the other collections, and may be the 
var. grandiflora of Bentham.

Ramis decumbentibus. Foliis linearibus falcatis acininformis

The habit of this plant is quite distinct from the typical 
D. taxifolia common in the Blue Mountains as will be seen 
from the following description. The leaves are similar in 
Shape but are more congested, especially towards the tips
