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
