Myrtacecs are well represented at Springsure, but chiefly by 

 Eucalyptus, of which we found the following species, E. terminalis, 

 E. melanophloia, E. crebra, E. brachypoda, E. tesselan's, E. tereticor- 

 nis, E. citriodora, and a species belonging to the Section Micran- 

 thera, resembling E. brachypoda, but the capsules are much larger 

 and the leaves dotted : it is confined to the sides of the ranges. 

 Zeptospermum attenuatum is plentiful on the sides of the ranges, 

 where it attains the size of a small tree ; the bark is soft and 

 lamellar, like that of Melaleuca leucodendron. 



Hanging from the naked cliff to a length of six or eight feet 

 we found a Callistemon resembling C. lanceolatus, with narrow 

 acuminate leaves and yellow anthers. I have never known C. 

 lanceolatus to be found except where its roots can reach the water, 

 but Baron Mueller, after comparing the Springsure plant with 

 the other Australian species, assures me that it is only a form of 

 C. lanceolatus. We also noticed Melaleuca trichostachya and M. 

 genestifolia in several places. 



The liubiacece we found represented by Pomax umbellata, which 

 is always found in the crevices of cliffs in elevated situations. 

 Psichotria daphnioides, the remarkable stunted little tree, 

 Ccelospermum reticulation, and the humble little Asperula conferta. 

 Of SterculeacecB we only found Sterculia rupestris or Bottle Tree, 

 S. diversifolia and the showy little shrub Melhania incana, which 

 is common throughout the Colony. Among the Labiatce we 

 noticed the fragrant plants Plectranthus parviflorus and Anisomeles 

 salvifolia very plentiful among the ranges ; the latter plant would 

 yield a delicate perfume. We found Teucrium racemosum at 

 Minerva Creek, and T. corymbosum, and T. argutum at Springsure ; 

 the latter has rose-coloured flowers, and the two former species 

 white flowers. We found the Saprndacece represented by Nephelium 

 connatum, a middle-sized tree bearing edible fruit, Hetcrodendron 

 oleifolium, a tree common in the brigalow scrubs, U. diversifolium, 

 a tall shrub, the leaves of which are toothed like those of a holly,
