95. Under the designation of “ Brown Silky Oak” is a large tree growing in 
the Evelyn district, but no flowers or fruit were obtainable, which the Colonial 
Botanist considers, judging from leaves alone, may probably be an undescribed 
species of Darlingia, and for the present it had better be given as Darlingia 
erruginea. The leaves are narrow-lancvolate, exceeding 1 ft. in length, with 
a breadth of 23 in., the parallel lateral-nerves, which on the underside are 
very prominent, loop and form an intra-marginal nerve at some distance from 
the edge of the leat; upper-surface smooth. Under-surface rusty pubescent, 
more dense on the midrib and nerves. When the flowers and fruit are 
available, this may prove only a more densely ferruginous form of Darlingia 
spectatissima. Wood darkish-coloured, prettily marked, and tough, — J 
96. Hollandea Lamingtoniana, Bail. A handsome tree of medium size, met 
with in the Evelyn district; the branchlets, leaf-nerves, leaf-stalks, and 
inflorescence densely clothed with rusty hairs. Leaves roundish-ovate, 4 to 6 
in. long, nerves on underside very prominent. - Flowers numerous, deep- 
coloured. Only medium-sized trees were seen, but probably they attain a 
considerable size, as plants of this order frequently flower at an early stage of 
their growth. Wood tough, prettily marked like many others of the order,
