[Mr. Fletcher2 exhibited for Baron von Mueller, F.R.S., &c., a drawing of an aquatic plant, Aldrovanda vesiculosa, Linn., and in reference to it stated that the Baron wished to call the attention of the members of this Society to the desirability of keeping a look-out for this plant, which the late Mr. P. O'Shanesy, F.L.S., found some years ago in a lagoon near Rockhampton, and which my3 be looked for in N.S.W. among water-plants such as Utricularia flexuosa. Though rendered known as a South European plant so long ago as 1747, the fruit of Aldrovanda vesiculosa is still unknown. The Baron would also be glad if members would try to discover the fruits of the native species of Lemna.4]
