176 J H. MAIDEN. 



Calyx-tube about 6 mm. long and about 7 mm. in diameter. 



Petals nearly circular, about 7 mm. in diameter. 



Fruiting calyx very hard, about 7 mm. broad at the top, 

 and as much in length. 



Range. 



It has only been found so far at Kogarah, near Botany 

 Bay, south of Port Jackson (Julius H. Oamfleld, December 

 1897), and Northbridge, North Sydney, north of Port Jack- 

 son, N.S.W.; (James Williams, November 1915; Dr. J. B. 

 Cleland, December, 1915). 



I name it in honour of John Burton Oleland, M.D., now 

 Professor of Pathology in the University of Adelaide, for 

 many years Principal Microbiologist, Sydney, who first 

 prominently drew my attention to this plant. 



Affinities. 



This species could very easily be (and has been) passed 

 over as a petiolate and more lanceolate leaved form of A. 

 cordi folia, or even as a dwarf form of A. intermedia DO. 

 It seems to me that its affinities are with these species, 

 but nearer the former. A. intermedia and A, Bakeri have 

 rough bark, somewhat resembling the Boxes (e.g. Euca- 

 lyptus hemiphloia F.v.M.). That of A, cordifolia is rough- 

 flaky. 



In habit A. Clelandi is near A. cordifolia, but smaller in 

 all its parts, less hispid, the inflorescence less corymbose 

 and with the differences between the juvenile and mature 

 leaves more accentuated.
