Note on Mr. Maiden’s Paper on “Records of Western Aus- 
tralian Botanists,” which appeared in Journal No. 6. 
Mr. J. H. Maiden, F.L.S., Government Botanist of New South 
Wales, the author of the above contribution, which appeared in 
the last number of the Journal, did not see a proof of that 
paper, owing to an unfortunate oversight. Mr. Maiden was not 
responsible for the excerpts being made from the paper from 
the Royal Society of New South Wales by him.

Arborea 13-15 m. (40-50 pedes) alta, cortice glabro base rimosiore, 
glaucissima. 
Folia matura crassa rigidaque, late lanceolata, petiolata circiter, 10-15 
cm. longa, 4-5 lata, inconspicue venosa, venis lateralibus angulo circiter 45 0 
approxime parallelis. 
■ Alabastrum magnum, pedunculatum, subcostatum, calyce urceolato, 
operculo haemisphasrico rostro obtuso. Antherae cellis parallelis adnatis 
glandula magno dorso. 
Fructus urceolatus vel prope campanulatus, subcostatus, circiter 15 mm. 
longus, similis in maxima latitudine, margo prominens, 5-valvulis, valvularum 
apicibus aequis cum oriftcio.

Juvenile leaves . — Not seen in the early stages. In an inter-

and roughly parallel, intramarginal vein at a considerable distance 
from the edge. 
Mature leaves .- — Very thick, rigid, and glaucous, both sides 
of the leaf identical, nearly symmetrical, petiolate (petioles
