R. T. BAKER AND H. G. SMITH. 



In its natural state it has a tendency to run very much to wood, 

 but this is probably owing to the plants growing so very close 

 together — in many cases almost forming an impenetrable bush. 

 Under cultivation and with the trees planted some distance apart 

 this defect should be removed, and bushy foliaceous plants pro- 

 duced. The results of the experiments in transplanting now being 

 carried out at this Museum will be available to the general public 

 at any time. 



We wish to express our acknowledgements to Miss S. Hynes, b.a. 

 for the locality of Darwinia taxifolia at Randwick, to Mr. Connelly 

 for photographs of the plants, and to Mr. H. Oakes (one of the 

 Technical College Students in organic chemistry) who gave up 

 much time to assist.
