[Native Hop.— Inquirer, Kooreh2.— So far as can be judged from the small sprig without flowers, your plant is, Baron von Mueller informs us, the Daviesia corymbora,3 allied to the Daviesia latifolia, the so called "native hop." It has also the peculiarly bitter taste of that plant, but it has been found out that the Daviesias cannot be used as a wholesome substitute of the real hops, so that years ago by a public measure the use of these plants for brewing became interdicted.]
