not allude to Lindley’s figure, nor give any habitat or authority for the specimens from which his full description
is drawn up. Mueller considers it a form of S. monogyna, together with B. HuegeUi, Endl., and
S. ohtusa, Lindl.
S t a c k h o u s i a R i c h . , is erroneously described as Tasmauian by Schuckhardt, who assumes that
Richard himself collected iu the island.
Stackhousia aspericocca, Schuckh.
I have tropical specimens so caUed, of this, from Mncller (Dawson River), and from W'GUlivray (Port Curtis),
in all which the lateral bracts are well developed. I have seen no Victoria specimens, but have soijic of the S. monogyna
from that country with larger lateral bracts than usual ; nor have I any Tasmauian spechnens.

1 do uot recognize this species, which is said to have been gathered in Victoria by Mueller, and in Tasmania
by Stuart. All its bracts are described as bemg very broad aud membranous, and it may prove another form of S.
monogyna, judging from the desciaption only.

Oldfield reiuai-ks that this Order disappears in the country west of Recherche Bay. Acacia stricta there
advances some few miles inland, and thence for thirty-five miles westward Oldfield did not meet with another
species, though he travelled over localities of all elevations and aspects. Tliis is an analogous fact to that of the
rarity of the Order in New Zealand, Euegia, and other humid temperate regions. (See Flora Antarctica, ii. 261.)
(Page 85.) In the generic character of Dillwynia, for “ vexillum duplo longius quam latum” read
“ duplo latius quam longum.”
(Page 8 6 .) In the English generic character of Pultenaa the seeds should have been described as
strophiolate (as in Tab. X I II. aud in the Latin chai-acter).
(Page 8 8 .) Pulteiiæa pimeleoides, Hook, fil., Mueller regards as the same with P. dentata, Lab.
(Page 89.) Piütenæa Eiblertioides, Hook, fil., Mueller refers to P. mollis, Lindl.
(Page 90.) Pultenæa cordata, Grab. Mueller and Archer both refer this to P. juniperina, Lab.
(Page 91.) Pultenæa diffusa. Hook. fil.
MueDer refers this to Phyllota (Fragment. Phyt. Austr.), in which Bcntham does not concur. This is a
native of Victoria.

I have given Bentham’s description of this plant, which Mueller informs me is found in Tasmania, His
Victoria specimens so closely resemble the small states of P. Gunnii 0, that I do not see how they are to be distinguished
from that plant. I find what appears to be the same thing in Bentham’s herbarium, marked P. hrachjpoda,
Muell., fi-om Australia Feli.x, aud P. cordifolia, Hook., from Ai'gyll, Lkotsbj.
(Page 96.) Bossiæa cordigera, Benth., is perhaps B . horizontalis, Muell., and if so, is a native of
Victoria.
