166 CONTRIBUTION TO A SOUTH QUEENSLAND FLORA, 



Ipomea Turpethum, P. Br., Prod. 485. 



The foliage, inflorescence, capsule and seed point, to this species, 

 but only after the examination of its flowers could it be claimed 

 with certainty as a member of the South Queensland Flora. In 

 the scrub, which crowns the summit of Burleigh Heads, this 

 luxuriant twiner climbs the heights of trees, falls down in 

 festoons, and then trails among stones. It must flower about 

 February or March. 



Labiate. 

 Zycopus aiistralis, P. Br., Prod. 500. 



It flowers in January along the Logan Piver. 



Prostanthera lasionthos, Labill., PI. Nov. Holl., II., 18, t. 157. 



In gullies near Mudgerda Creek, and Coomora Piver is sparsely 

 scattered this shrub, which in these localities attains the height 

 of ten feet. In Tasmania it is a conspicuous tree. Its scented 

 leaves, and never ceasing supply of flowers, which succeed each 

 other in profusion for three months of the year should make this 

 plant a favourite with lovers of garden flowers. 



Tencrium corymbosum, P. Br., Prod. 504. 



At the top of Tambourine Mountain it grows to be a nuisance 

 to farmers. If allowed to take hold in cultivated ground it will 

 prove a troublesome weed. It flowers in December and January. 



Phytolaccaceze. 



Phytolacca octandra, Linn. 



Closo by stockyards, in broken up ground, and by the road 

 side, especially if through scrubs, this introduced plant is to be 

 seen near Tallebudgera, and the Coomera. Mr. Bailey has found 

 it growing near Brisbane, by the threo mile scrub.
