 Didiscus Croninianus. 



Tracliymene Croniniana, F. v. M. coli. Annual, erect, but comparatively 

 dwarf, beset with scattered spreading somewhat rigid hairlets ; radical 

 leaves slit into rather narrow partly incised lobes ; upper leaves few-lobed ; 

 umbels comparatively small, some of them only short-stalked; involucral 

 bracts mostly about as long as the pedicels ; petals white ; one of the 

 fruitlets only developed, prominently wrinkled, the free portion margined 

 by a narrow membrane. 



Towards Coolgardie ; Cronin. 



Tallest specimens obtained only about 8 inches high, some flowering 

 at half that height. Largest leaves measuring hardly above 2 inches. 

 Longest pedicel fully 1 is inch long. Petals about V 16 i ncn long. Anthers 

 whitish. Fruitlet hardly Vio inch long, and less broad ; the rugosity on 

 each side forming usually three irregulär longitudinal ridglets, the asperity 

 scanty only. 



Nearest to Trachymene or Didiscus elachocarpus, but much larger in 

 all its parts, and the fruit-ridglets somewhat membranously edger — a 

 characteristic not otherwise occurring in the genus. 



Regrettably the name Didiscus became by some writers during late 

 years discarded in favour of that of Trachymene, a procedure which 

 involved the re-naming of all the formerly acknowledged Trachimenes as 

 Sieberas — disturbing a nomenclature in force for phytography and 

 horticulture during more than half a Century. The species of Didiscus 

 are probably all deleterious, as recently demonstrated by cases of 

 poisoning of pasture-animals, when feeding on D. pilosus and D. glucifoliua.
