PB.0TEACE.a3. 



Strangea linearis, Meissn., in Hook., Kew. Misc. VII., 66. 



I met first only one specimen of it on the sandy hills of 

 Stradbroke Island. But on the edges of marshes close to Burleigh 

 Heads, it seems to have its head- quarters, such is the abundance 

 of its growth there. All the examined follicles are monospermous. 

 It flowers in December. 



EuTHORBIACEjE. 



Euphorbia pilulifera, Linn. 



In many localities. Mr. Bailey first discovered it in South 

 Queensland some time ago on Taylor's Eange. It springs up 

 plentifully in burnt country before other vegetation appears. It 

 is said to be a remedy against asthma. The attention of medical 

 men should be directed to this, and other Euphorbias, with which 

 we abound. 



Croton phebalioides, P. Muell. 



It edges Dugundan scrubs along the Teviot Brook, and it is 

 plentiful in Barr Scrub near Beenleigh. It flowers in November 

 and December. 



OrCIIIDEjE. 



Dipodium HamiUonianum, Bailey, Ined. 



This pretty orchid, which Mr. Bailey on our last trip to Dunwich 

 discovered at Stradbroke Island, has been again found by me 

 growing on sandy hills near the Logan village. Its stature is 

 more diminutive than the Dunwich specimens, and the flowers 

 less numerous. It blooms in December. 



Pterostylis acuminata. E. Br., Prod. 326. 

 Near the Logan village, flowering in the month of April.
