This is one of the few drawings which has not been prepared from exclusively, or nearly exclusively, New South Wales material. I have not specimens of the typical form from New South Wales, only of the variety fissifolia from this State, and I trust that publication of this plate will lead to records of New South Wales localities for the species.
