PEIMULACEiE. 



Samolus repens, Pers. Syn. I., 171. 



Under the shade of Avicennia officinalis and Brugniera Reedii, 

 bathed by the tide. Mr. Bailey and I found this lovely Samolus 

 growing both at Cleveland and Stradbroke Island. 



APOCYNEiE. 



Alstonia mollis, Benth., PL Aust. IV., 315. 



The difference between this and A. constricta is so slight, that 

 they might well be thrown into one species. They both abound 

 in a valuable medicinal bitter principle. It grows near the Logan 

 River, and A. constricta at Lytton. 



SoLANACE-ZE. 



Solarium semiarmatum, P. Muell., Prag. II., 163. 

 Solarium campanulatum, R. Br., Prod. 446. 



SCROPHULARINE^E. 



Mimulus gracilis, R. Br., Prod. 439. 



On all the damp flats along the Albert and Logan Rivers, this 

 little Mimulus abounds. I never met it yet on the north side of 

 the Logan. Specimens can be seen, branched, and over one foot 

 high, but generally it bears out the specific description. It begins 

 flowering in October, goes through November, and even in 

 December some late flowers are seen decking moist prairies. 



Con volvulacejE . 



Ipomea pes-cajwce, Roth., Nov. Sp. PI. 109. 



Its long trailing stems crossing the creeping stems of Vignca 

 lutea form a net of verdure on the white sands of the sea-shore 

 near the mouth of Nerang Creek. The yellow flowers of one 

 mingling with the purple bells of the other present a pretty sight 

 on that barren ground.
