OF TASMANIAN PLANTS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 75 
I have seen rarely in flower, and then, as in the specimen sent, 
only with two or three spikes; while Cynodon Dactylon exhibits 
five, blooming annually and profusely along roads and dry hill- 
sides. Acacia (retinodes?) grows in large globular shrubs along 
the banks; and some bushes were observed with copious flowers 
and ripe fruit. 
Although not botanical, I may mention that while disturbing a 
large Poa tussock, one of the little Kangaroo-mice leaped out and 
was captured alive. It was a little creature, not more than about 
2 inches in length of body, with a tail about 23 to 3 inches, and 
reddish-brown colour. 
On the whole, the vegetation was found almost wholly distinct 
from that of Square Waterhole, and very similar to scenery 
further north. 
Appended is the list of the plants collected, or which could be 
identified with certainty, exclusive of such as form a feature 
almost everywhere.
