32 THE AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST. 
ACACIA INTERTEXTA, Sires. At the November meeting Mr. 
Cheel exhibited specimens of this plant which 1s synonymous | 
with A. obtusifolia, A. Cunn., collected about 24 miles from 
Wingham, which were in bud and were identical with specimens 
growing at Hill Top on the main Southern line and on the Blue 
Mountains. These are frequently confused with the Sydney Gol- 
den Wattle (A. longifolia) but the latter flowers during the 
months of August and September and sets its seed freely, where- 
as A. intertexta flowers during December and January and very 
rarely sets seed. A note on this species was published in the 
Jour. Royal Soey., N.S. Wales, XLVIIT. (1914) 22, drawing 
attention to the different characteristics of growth, ete., and the 
finding of this species on the Cambogne shows that it has a very 
wide range. There are specimens in the National Herbarium 
found at Pheasant’s Creek, Glen Elgin and on the Macpherson 
Range, which have previously been confused with A. longifolia. 
ORcHIDS FROM CENTENNIAL Park. Mr. Cheel also read a 
list of orchids collected in the Centennial Park, Sydney, between 
the years 1898 and 1901, as follows:—Caladenia coerulea, C. 
alba, C. carnea, Pterostylis acuminata, P. concinna, P. nutans, P. 
parviflora, Glossodia minor, G. major, Lyperanthus nigricans, L. 
sauveolens, Cryptostylis erecta, C. longifolia, Hriochilus autum- 
nalis, Diuris maculata, Thelymitra longifolia, T. carnea, T. nuda 
(?), Spiralis australis, Microtis porrifolia, Acianthus fornicatus, 
Caleyana major, Phrasophyllum elatum and P. Woollsii (?). The 
latter was not found actually within the fence boundary, but on 
the Red Hill, a few yards away from the fence.
