Abstract Lander, N. S. Cotlectionsof -LaitrenciaHook, destroyedby fire, April 1984.Kingia 1(1): 1-8 (1987),Label detailsof specimensof trawreaciafrom MEL and HO destroyedin a road accidentin April 1984are provided. Availabledata includeslocality, date of gathering,collector's name and field numbers,species identification and sheetnumber for each lost specimen.

Introduction Followingthe completionof my revisionofthe .LawrenciaHook.(Lander 1985), collectionson loan to PERTH from HO and MEL were destroyedin their entirety on 4th April 1984when the truck in which they were contained was gutted by fire near Eucla on the Nullarbor Plain. In the courseof my study, a comprehensiveindex to specimensexarnined was main- tained. Thus it has been possibleto provide the following collection details. For each specimen,the locality, date ofgathering, collector'sname and field number (wherethese were noted on the original label) as well as the location of duplicatesin other herbaria are recorded.Further, the speciesidentification in accordancewith my revision is also indicated. Amongst the specimensfrom MEL lost were severaltSpes: narnely, two possible isotypes of berthae F. Muell., an isotlpe of Lawrcncia glomerata Hook., seven syntj4)es of Plagianthus spicatus var. pubescens Benth., two isotypes of Nees ex Miq., ten syntrpes of Halothamnus microphyllus F. Muell., a syntype of Plagianthushelmsf F. Muell. & Tate, the holotype of Plagianthus monoicusHelms ex Ewart. Further syntypesare held elsewherefor all the lost syntlpes; the appropriate lectotypeshave been selectedin all cases.The singleIost holotlpe has an isotype at AD which has been designatedas a lectotlpe (Lander 1985). In the following list, entries are arranged alphabetically by collector's surname. Speciesnumbers (the first number appearingin parenthesis)are those usedin my re- vision of Lawrencia: namely, 1.
