NOTES ON THE GENERA DARWINIA HOMORANTHUS AND RYLSTONEA. 75 
form at Berowra.’’ In 1912, a note was published by my- 
self, l.c., stating that the plants were ‘“‘upright shrubs from 
four to seven feet high.’’ It is more fully described by 
these gentlemen from plants collected from the same 
locality as those collected by Dr. J. B. Cleland and myself 
and recorded as above. The localities are as follows :— 
Berowra, A. A. Hamilton; W. F. Blakely and D. W. C. 
Shiress ; Hawkesbury River, opposite Milson Island, EK. 
‘Cheel and Dr. J. B. Cleland. Specimens from the same 
locality collected for and distilled by Messrs. Baker and

The descriptions of both Mueller and Bentham are com- 
posite, to include the two species, but from my own obser- 
vations in the field in the neighbourhood of Broadwater, 
Richmond River, N.S.W., and examination of material in 
the National Herbarium, this species may be described as. 
follows:— 
Slender upright virgate shrubs about four feet high. Leaves 
opposite, semiterete, about | cm. long, not crowded, the oil glands 
not so prominent and the colour less glaucous or of a more greenish

leaves along the upper parts of the branches, but not crowded. 
Style short. |

and Moreton Island mentioned by Mueller (Fragm. 1x, 176) and 
Islands of Moreton Bay, and probably also Cape Brown, mentioned 
by Bentham (B. FI. iii, 16) are districts in which this species is
