Following are some New South Wales specimens represented in the National 
Herbarium at Sydney : 
Grafton. Fairly common about Grafton and the islands of the Clarence 
River. Casino (District Forester) ; Kyogle (E. G. McLean) ; Lismore (Miss Roth well, 
W. Baeuerlen, E. Betche); Acacia Creek, Macpherson Range (W. Dunn); Murwil- 
lumbah (R. A. Campbell) ; Tweed Heads (J. L. Boorman). I havp also received it 
from Toowoomba, Queensland (H. A. Longman). 
Propagation. From the photograph of the tree taken in a Grafton street, it will 
be seen that the Tulip Tree is most handsome, and well worthy of cultivation. But 
it must be borne in mind that it is a native of the brush and therefore accustomed to 
deep, rich soil, with a sufficiency of shelter.
