(11) Aclenanthos obovata, LabilL, and A. barbigera, Lindl., are 

 Proteaceous shrubs. With two exceptions the species (14) are 

 limited to W. Australia. The genus is remarkable for its peculiar 

 style, and is not closely allied to any other. 



(12) Helichrysum bracteatum, Willd., is a composite found in 

 all the Australian colonies, and with Helipterum Manglesii, 

 F.v.M. {Rhodanthe Manglesii, Lindl.), is often seen in gardens. 



(13) Dam.piera alata, Lindl., and D. leptoclada, Benth., belong 

 to a genus comprising 38 species, of which 27 are limited to W. 

 Australia. Only seven occur in N. S. Wales and one in Tasmania. 



(14) Anthocercis viscosa, E.Br., with eight other species, is 

 limited to W. Australia, and has the reputation of being poisonous. 

 Four species are found in N. S. Wales and one in Tasmania. The 

 genus Anthocercis is nearly allied to Duboisia, of which D. Hop- 

 woodii, F.v.M. , is the famous " Pitury" of the blacks. According 

 to Mr. F. M. Bailey, F.L.S., they chew the leaves of it as white 

 men do tobacco. 



(15) (a) The genus Andersonia is limited to W. Australia and 

 has 20 species. A. sprengelioides, B.Br., is very common 

 at King George's Sound. 



(b) Astroloma compactum, R.Br, (referred by Baron Mueller to 



Styphelia), is nearly allied to A. humi/usum, R.Br., a 

 species found in most of the Australian colonies. Accord- 

 ing to the Flora, there are 18 species of the genus, three 

 only extending to the East. 



(c) Lysinema fimbriatum, F.v.M., is remarkable with the other 



four species of this western genus for having its filaments 

 free from the base. 



(d) Leucopogon carinafus, R.Br., belongs to the section 



"Striatte" of the genus. The Baron joins Xewcopo^on with 

 Styphelia, but according to the Flora it reckons 120 species, 

 of which 78 are western. It is worthy of remark that L. 

 Richei, R.Br., a species growing near the coast, is common 

 to five of the Australian colonies and Tasmania.
