710 PLANTS OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



Of the remaining Calyciflorce, the order of Passiflorae is 

 represented by two genera and five species, none of which extend 

 to Victoria ; whilst of the Cucurbitaceae, which are well repre- 

 sented in Queensland and North Australia, only one species 

 Sict/os angulata, (Linn.) is common to the three colonies of 

 Eastern Australia. Momordica Balsamina, (Linn.), which is 

 regarded by Mr. Bentham as indigenous, is widely dispersed 

 over Asia and Africa, and also extends to the New "World. Some 

 of the Ficoidea also have a wide range, for Hesembryanthemum 

 cequilaterale, (Linn.) (the Pig-face of the Colonists) and Tetragonia 

 expansa, (Murr.) (called "New Zealand Spinach") occur here 

 and there along the coast from Tasmania to Northern Queensland. 

 Of the Umbelliferse there are 14 genera, 11 of which are found 

 in New South Wales, 8 in Queensland, and all in Victoria, whilst 

 the species are respectively 33, 17, and 34, thus showing, that 

 although the order has species in almost all latitudes, the greatest 

 number of them appear in the more temperate regions. Two 

 species only of the Araliaceae — (Astrotriche ledifolia, (DC.) and 

 Panax sambucifolius, (Sieb.) — ) occur in Victoria ; and this is 

 remarkable, as the difference between the Umbelliferse and 

 Araliaceee (the latter of which are comparatively numerous in 

 Queensland) is one rather of habit than of any decided character. 

 The last order of the Calyciflorse, the Cornacese, is represented 

 by a solitary species common to Queensland and New South 

 Wales. 



In addition to the 1 1 species of leguminous plants unknown 

 here in the early days of the colony, but now widely dispersed 

 throughout it, the following may be enumerated : 



Rosa rabiginosa, (Linn.) 



jEnothera biennis, (Linn.) 



JEnothera rosea, (Willd.) 



Epilobium roseum, (Sm.) 



Passijlora ccerulea, (Willd.) 



Ammi majus, (Linn.)
