Flora, nor Mr. Bentham in the Flora Australiensis, gives the number of cells in the 
fruit ; and both refer to Labillardiere's description and figure in which the 5 cells 
are mentioned and shown under his name of Styphelia glauca. It is probable that 
in the typical specimen received by Robt. Brown the fruit was 1-celled by 
abortion, as stated to be sometimes the case by Labillardiere. 
DRACOPHYLLUM, Labill. 
D. Sayeri, F. v.M.; Austr. Journ. of Pharm. 1887. 4, 6. The 
following may be added to the description given by Baron von Mueller, 
in tbe Australasian J ournal of Pharmacy, March, 1887. Trunk attain- 
ing a diameter of 10 in. ; bracts 3 in. long, white, shaded with deep 
rose. There are probably two varieties of this species, which may be 
distinguished by the flowers of the one having a white tube and 
horizontal rose-coloured lobes, which seem to become somewhat erect 
in decay. Of the other the flowers are all white, and the corolla-lobes 
are closely reflexed, and remain so in decay. I found this distinction 
on all the plants examined, even when growing beside each other.
