[Some conversation took place in reference to the plant known as Grevillea Fosterii. It appears this variety was exhibited at a previous meeting, and Baron von Mueller had written to state that he thought the name had been given in error, as he knew of no such plant. Specimens had accordingly been sent to the baron, who had reported the plant as the old Grevillea Banksii, discovered nearly a century ago.]
