TüRNER, F., Botany of the Darling, New South Wales. 



(Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales. 



Vol. XXVfll. Part 2. No. 110. 1903. p. 406—442.) 



This paper deals with the area, drained by the Darling and its 

 tributaries (between parallels 29' to 33° South, and meridians 141° and 

 147° East). The country is composed of immense treeless plains, sepa- 

 rated here and there by large belts of timber, and considerable areas of 

 open forest, mallee and scrub country ; there are a few low mountain 

 ranges. Towards the end of the mild winter Cruciferous plants in flower 

 form a conspicuous feature on many of the plains, Eucalyptus in an 

 arboreal or shrubby state occurs over a great portion of this region, 



E. rostrata Seh. growing plentifully on the margins of the water-courses, 

 which can be defined miles away by this tree. Compositae are well re- 

 presented on the plains in the early summer and often after rainfall in 

 the autumn. Alimulus prostratus Benth. often Covers the ground near 

 lagoons, whilst Mentha australis R. Br. is common on ground periodi- 

 cally inundated. Two species of Coniferae (Frenela robusta A. Cunn., 



F. Endlichen Parlat.) oecupy immense areas in the interior Only one 

 species of Orchid occurs (the epiphyte Cymbidium canaliculatum R. Br.) 

 Crinum and Calostemma oecupy sandy areas in the far west. The 

 general portion of the paper (p. 406 — 417), from which the above remarks 

 are taken, contains a great deal of information of an economic nature, 

 whilst the remainder of the paper is oecupied by an enumeration of the 

 760 species (314 genera) observed. F. E. Fritsch.
