258 MR. S. MOORE ON THE FLORA 
list here given is, it is believed, almost exhaustive. It may be 
thus summed up :— 
Burred fruits................ 10 
Adhesive , ................ 1 
Fleshy |, ................ 42 
Succulent seeds.............. 1 
The 10 plants with burred fruits are:-— Tribulus terrestris, 
Daucus brachiatus, Trachymene cerulea, Calotis erinacea, C. plu- 
mulifera and C. hispidula, Echinospermum concavum, Sclerolena 
bicornis and S. diacantha, Salsola Kali. 
All the above, except Trachymene cerulea, which is restricted 
to Western Australia, and Sclerolena bicornis, absent from the 
South-west, are widely distributed through the island-continent. 
The common tropical weed Polanisia viscosa is, I believe, the 
only desert plant provided with adhesive fruits. 
The fleshy-fruited species are :— 
Sollya heterophylla, Scevola spinescens, Jasminum calcareum, 
Alyxia buxifolia, Solanum (12 spp.), Duboisia Hopwoodi, Rha- 
godia (3 spp.), Muehlenbeckia adpressa, Pimelea (9 spp.), Cassytha 
(2 spp), Loranthus (5 spp.), Exocarpus (2 spp.), Anthobolus exo- 
carpoides, Santalum lanceolatum, and Fusanus persicarius. With 
the exception of the Sollya, the Jasmine, half the Solanums, and 
7 of the Pimeleas, all the above are more or less widely distributed 
over Australia. 
Pittosporum phyllyreoides, well diffused over Australia, is the 
plant with seeds immersed in a succulent pulp. 
It should be noted, however, that in few only of these cases is 
the fleshiness at all marked.

Pholidia gibbifolia, F. Muell., is a very singular plant, and, as 
might be seen on examination of the plates accompanying 
Mueller's fine monograph of the Myoporinez, quite unlike any 
other Pholidia previously described. Ihe chief peculiarity 
resides in the leaves, which are much reduced, appressed to the 
stem, and curiously tuberculated. Had the specimens described 
by me in this memoir as Pholidia homoplastica not been in flower 
when they were gatbered, I should have concluded, without hesi- 
tation, that they must be referred to Mueller's species; for in 
habit,as in leaf, the two seem absolute counterparts. The
