Along the river banks several trees and shrubs were noted 

 which, though found in situations far removed from tidal waters, 

 exhibit a measure of partiality for a saline environment. 

 Acacia falcata Willd., has lined the banks of Bray's Bay on the 

 Parramatta River with a belted shrubbery. The soft-wooded 

 Clerodendron tomentosum R. Br., grows almost to the water's 

 edge at Cook's River and was also noted on the banks of 

 George's River near Como. Glochidion Ferdinandii J. Muell., has 

 formed an extensive grove in the vicinity of the bridge over 

 George's River at Como, and a smaller colony near the tideway 

 at Fig-tree, Lane Cove River. 



Of the plants noted in the marsh proper the following are 

 found in the saltmarshes of the interior: — Samolus repens, 

 Suaeda maritima, Spergidaria rubra, Triglochin striata, Juncus 

 maritimus, var. australiensis, Sporobolus virginicus, Mesembryan- 

 themum aequilaterale, Tetragonia expansa, Wilsonia Backhousii. 



The specimens mounted to illustrate this paper will be pre- 

 sented to the Sydney National Herbarium.
