This was originally described by Berkeley from speci- 

 mens collected at Lord Howe Island. 



In the National Herbarium, Sydney, there are specimens 

 from Lord Howe Island collected by Mr. J. H. Maiden in 

 April, 1898, and Hev. W. W. Watts in July, 1911, also 

 specimens received through the Curator of the Australian 

 Museum in 1897, which we feel sure belong to this species.
