Warrego District: Dynevor Downs, C. T. White 11829 (flowers), 
1 2-4-1941 (intricately branched subshrub, 0.5 m., flowers whitish). 
I had provisionally determined the above plant as 0. tenui folia 
|Benth. vel aff. but as this species is only known from New South Wales I 
sent specimens to Mr. R. H. Anderson. Botanist in Charge of the National 
Herbarium, Sydney, and he replied : ‘ ‘ I regret that we have been unable 
, to reach any very satisfactory conclusion in regard to your specimen of 
Olearia species. The only specimen of 0. tenuifolia Benth. in our 
herbarium is a small fragment collected by Fraser. So far as can be 
judged from such a small piece, this somewhat resembles yours, but 
differs in bearing glandular papillae, as described by Bentham, while 
yours appears to be smooth and glabrous. Your specimen also somewhat 
resembles our material of 0. adenophora F. Muell. but this speices 
too is distinctly glandular-pubescent. I have not been able to find any 
sheets from New South Wales agreeing exactly with yours from the 
Warrego District. ’ ’
