Darling Downs District : Eukey, nr. Ballandean, Mrs. M. S. Clemens 
(fls.), Nov. 1944. 
Not previously recorded for Queensland. These specimens agree well 
with those from the type locality — Port Jackson. 
Grevillea arenaria R. Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. x, 172 (1811), var. 
canescens ( R . Br.) Benth. FI. Austr. v, 443 (1870). 
G. canescens R. Br. Prot. Nov. 18 (1830). 
Moreton District: Murphy’s Creek, E. A. R. Lord (fls.) March 
(few fls. and fruits — not quite mature) April 1944. 
Mr. Lord writes: “The shrub is common in our ranges and blooms 
for the greater part of the year. It grows in the form of a spreading 
shrub and the average height is abt. 5 ft.” 
The present specimens are an excellent match for the illustration in 
Botanical Magazine tab. 3185 quoted by Bentham l.c. There are several 
small Grevilleas in the section Ptychocarpa and the distinctions between 
many are very meagre. The specimens quoted above and the illustration 
in the Botanical Magazine show one of the most outstanding of them 
and to my mind one of the most worthy of specific rank. An examina- 
tion of recent abundant material with types is highly desirable, however, 
before making any changes from the arrangement by Bentham in the 
“Flora Australiensis, ” adopted by subsequent botanists. 
Family Liliaceae.
