diameter when fully expanded. Calyx divided to about the
middle, the five segments with broad bases and more or less
bluntly acuminate tips. Other features much as in A. quadrifidum.
Seeds apparently reddish-brown, but otherwise as in A.
glabrum.

The absence of any scurfy tomentum at once distinguishes
these two species from A. quadrifidum. In addition A. Rodwayi
has broader ovate or lanceolate leaves, the calyx is less deeply
divided, the flower larger and more bulky at its base. This, with
the less deeply divided calyx and the shape of the leaves distinguishes
the plant from A. zygophylloides. A. glabrum is told
by its glabrous wiry stems, smaller flowers and calyx deeply
divided to the base.

ANGIANTHUS HUMIFUSUS, Benth., var. GRANDIFLORUS.
(Compositae).

In the last contribution to the Flora of Australia, No. 6, this
was erroneously given as a new variety by the accidental omission
of a proof correction.

CASSINIA LAEVIS, R. Br. (Compositae)

The record from C. French, Goulburn R., under the above
heading, in Contributions to the Flora of Australia, No. 6,
should apply to Cassinia arcuata, R. Br., wrongly recorded as
C. Theodori, F. v. M.

CONOSPERMUM POLYCEPHALUM, Meisn., var. LEIANTRUM, Benth.
(Protoaceae)

Diels and Pritzel1 raise this variety to specific rank as C.
leianthum, Benth. The material at the National Herbarium, a
part only of which appears to have been examined by Diels
and Pritzel, shows conclusively that there is no reason for this
change. It is impossible to lay down any clear line of demarcation
