Order LEGUMINOSAK. 
KENNEDYA, Vent. 
K. exaltata, Bail. (n. sp.) A robust pubescent climber, according 
to Mr, HB. Cowley, attaining to the tops of tall trees. Stems hairy. Stipules 
oblong-lanceolate, 7 or 8 lines long including the portion (about 3 lines). 
produced below the insertion, clothed with appressed hairs; stipelle very 
narrow and the lower ones rather long. Petioles about + or 5 in., petiolules 
fron 1 to 1} in. long. Leaflets 3, somewhat orbicular in outline, 2 to 5 in. 
diameter, the lateral ones 2, the terminal usually broadly 3-lobed, the midrib 
of each lobe ending in a bristle-like point, pale on the under surface. Racemes 
axillary ; peduncle somewhat flattened, about 3 in. long, ‘bearing about the 
centre a hairy lanceolate bract; raceme or portion bearing the flowers about 
as long as the peduncle. lowers solitary or in pairs (violet-coloured and | 
very attractive, . Cowley).  Pedivels about 2) lines long, curved, hairy. 
Calyx-tube gibbous, very hairy outside and slightly so inside, long as the 
pedicel ; the two upper lobes united to the end, 3) lines long ; lateral ones 
about the same length, but more acute; the lower or keel lobe about G lines 
long, somewhat acute. Standard obovate, about 4-in. long, with 2 auricles at 
the base of the lamina, claw short, the wing and keel petals about as long as 
the standard, all obtuse. The free stamen sometimes, if not always, connate for 
some distance up with the others. Ovary stipitate, hairy; upper portion of 
the style glabrous. Stigma terminal. Pod not seen. 
Wab.: Scrabs of the Barron River, Z. Cowley. The flowers upon the specimens received 
being all more or less injured by insects, the absence of pods, as well as the peculiarity 
noticed in the stipules and stamens, may, when better known, cause this plant to be removed 
out of the genus in which I now place it; but with the material to hand I can do nothing 
better with it. % 
CASSIA, Linn. 
C. Brewsteri, var. Marksiana, Bail. (n. var.) An erect tree of 50 or 
60 ft., trunk 12 ormore inchesindiameter; wood pinkish, close in grain, and tough ; 
branchlets dark-coloured, fluted. Teayes'8 or 9 in. long, bearing about 7 or 8 
pairs of leaflets, glabrous except for a slight tomentum upon the rhachis ; 
leaflets from nearly lanceolate to oblong-ovate, 1 to 84 in. long, shortly 
petiolulate ; the leaves nearest to the flower racemes often of only three leaflets. 
‘Racemes terminal on the branchlets, about 3 in. long. Flowers crowded, on 
slender pedicels ; bracts minute. Sepals oblong, 3 lines long, pubescent on the 
back. Petals yellow, 5 or 6 lines long, obtuse, tapering to the base, marked by 
a dark central and distant lateral veins. Stamens of the normal form, Pod 
about 1 ft. long, 5 lines broad, nearly terete, dark glossy-brown, and marked 
with transverse ribs between the seeds. 
Hab. : Upper Nerang Creek. Foliage and wood, F. Mf. B. 1888. Flowers, pod, and 
leaf, Hon. O. F. Marks, M.D., Dec. 1896. 
T saw trees of this form growing at the above locality when collecting timbers for the 
Colonial and Indian Exhibition in 1886, but could not then obtain flowers or pods, and, 
thinking that the distinction in foliage might be due to situation, had a log worked up, and 
gaye it in the catalogue as var. tomentilla, an error which must be corrected in the next edition 
of the Queensland Woods. 
Order MYRTACER. 
MELALEUCA, Linn. 
WM. thyoides, Zurcz., Flora Austr. iii, 162. A tall shrub with numerous 
small slender branchlets, usually whitish, but glabrous or nearly so. Leaves 
spirally arranged, scale-like, closely appressed and imbricate, thick, peltate and 
concave, very obtuse and scarcely $-line long on the smaller branchlets ; more 
distant, acuminate, and nearly 1 line long on the longer branches. lowers
