This species has an extensive list oi Synonyms. The author recog* 

 nises 4 varieties viz. acervula, ovata, rubida and maculosa of which var. 

 rubida and var. maculosa are new. 



The typical form occurs in Victoria and New South Wales, var. 

 acervula has a wider ränge and is found in Tasmania, Victoria, South 

 Australia and New South Wales, var. ovata is in many cases indistingui-

This paper deals with the plants observed en route and 

 its chiefly concerned with the Acactds, Eucalyptus and Casu- 

 arind s („Oaks") Eucalyptus rostrata and Casuarlna Cunning- 

 hamiana are found along the edge of most of the western rivers, 

 the former along the lower parts of the stream, the latter higher 

 up. C. Cunnlnghamiana is believed to be purely a fresh-water 

 tree; C. glauca is common near salt water, Eucalyptus äff litis 

 is, as a general rule, found growing close to E. slderoxylon 

 and a third species, E. hemiphloia var. albens is frequently 

 present. E. afflnis has the appearance of a hybrid between 

 these two species and the author is „strongly inclined to the 

 opinion that this is one of the newest Eucalypts u . The possi- 

 bility of E. afflnis having originated as a hybrid is discussed. 



Buds with a partially double operculum were found on 

 Eucalyptus rostrata. It is suggested that the outer operculum 

 is, in some cases, formed from parts of the original bract or 

 thin membrane which in the early stage of inflorescence often 

 encloses each Cluster of buds. 



Acacia harpophylla, a Queensland species, was found in 

 abundance covering an area of nearly 5 acres. This discovery 

 leads to a discussion of methods by which seeds in general 

 and those of Acacia in particular are distributed. 



The following species Acacia pendula A. Cunn., A. aneura 

 F. v. M., Geigera parviflora, Grevlllea striata, Heterodendron 

 oleaefolium Desf v Casuarina Laehmannii, R. T. Baker, C. 

 Glauca Sieb, are represented in the photographs which illustrate 

 the paper. H. H. W. Pearson.
