Caltha introloba — p. 10. 
Found recently also on ooggy moors of tlie Baw Baw Mountains and of the Albert Ranges, and also 
on the Haidinger Ranges at the sources of the Macallister River. Noticed also in the alpine western moun¬ 
tains of Tasmania by Mr. W. Archer. 
The petioles attain sometimes the length of 6 inches; the peduncles are occasionally still longer. Fila¬ 
ments about 2 lines long, linear-setaceous. Anthers ellipsoid, yellowish, about £ line long. Carpels extending 
sometimes to the length of 2| lines. Seeds about § line long, shining, smooth, fulvous. The Veronica, with 
which this plant is consociated on the Munyang Mountains, is V. densifolia (F. M. Fragm. ii. 137). 
Brasenia peltata — -p. 12. 
The occurrence of this plant in Khasia and Bhotan (conf. Hook. & Thoms. FI. Indie, i. 246) and in 
Japan (conf. A. Gray, Bot. Statist, of Unit. States) renders the distribution of this plant less isolated and 
singular than previously supposed. 
Hibbertia Billardierii — -p. 14. 
The locality of Spencer’s Gulf, assigned to this plant, must be regarded as doubtful.

Stems creeping or scandent ; leaves large , long-stalked , ovate , rep and, crenate or senate, glabrescent, 
rather acute; the teeth remote, short-mucronulate; peduncles bracteate at the base, solitary, as long as or 
longer than the ebracteolate calyx; sepals cuspidate, roundish, or the outer ones broad-ovate; the inner 
almost membranous; petals cuneate-obcordate, cuspidulate; stamens very numerous; anthers ovate, much 
shorter than the filaments; ovaries usually 3, glabrous; carpels 3-5-seeded; seeds black , minutely reticulated; 
arillus jagged-fringed, glutinous, longer or somewhat shorter than the seed. 
In stony forest-declivities near the Genoa River, on the Genoa Peak and in other localities at the 
south-eastern limit of Gipps Land; thence extending through New South Wales to the MacLeay River. 
A beautiful climber or trailer, extending to the length of several or many feet. Branchlets brown, at 
first soft-hairy, soon glabrescent. Petioles channelled, rather broad, slightly and gradually dilated and 
clasping at the articulated base, finally from J-l inch long. Leaves lg-3 inches long, scantily hispidulous 
on both pages when young, calvescent in age, or from the beginning hairless; much paler beneath, con¬ 
spicuously one-nerved, traversed by ascending secondary nerves; the teeth or crenatures terminated by a 
short mucro. Peduncles arising from lateral short or almost undeveloped branchlets, from J-l inch long, 
usually downy with soft brown-grey pubescence, sometimes smooth, provided at or near the base with a 
membranous brown lanceolate- or linear-subulate bract, which measures 2—3 lines, and is outside appressed- 
hairy. Sepals varying from 3-6 lines in length, outside clothed with more or less copious or scattered
