NOTES ON LINARIIFOLIA AND TRICHOSTACHYA. 19 
The original specimens from which descriptions were 
drawn up by Sir J. HE. Smith, were collected in the Port 
Jackson district, and although descriptions have been pub- 
lished by Bentham, l.c. and others, it seems advisable to 
give a detailed list of localities for this species:— 
a. Young branches more or less minutely hairy. Morri- 
set and Greta, J. L. Boorman; Prospect, R. H. Cambage 
(No. 3586); Thirlmere and Glenbrook, J. H. Maiden. 
b. Young branches apparently quite glabrous. Conjola, 
W. Heron; Wingello, J.L. Boorman; Moss Vale, EH. Betche;

Melaleuca trichostachya Lindley. 
The original description is in Mitchell’s Trop. Aust., 277, 
as follows:— 
“‘Foliis saepius oppositis linearibus planis utrinque acutissimis, 
spice terminali laxiuscula rachi pilosa, ealyce glabro dentibus 
herbaceis, phalangibus polyandris ungue petalis breviore.” 
The habitat given is sub-tropical New Holland, 1846 (No. 
421). This number is quoted below. In his general 
remarks on this species Mitchell gives the following:— 
‘Aug. 16th. There also grew in the sandy bed of the river 
a new white flowered Melaleuca, resembling M. ericifolia, 
but with long mucronate leaves.”’
