COMPOSITE. 



SoLiVA SESsiLis, Riiiz et Pav. 



Newcastle (J. Gregson; September, 1903). 



Reported first as naturalised in Moore Park, near Sydney, in 

 these Proceedings for 1899 (p. 646); about a year later it was 

 reported from Parramatta. 



Hedypnois cretica, Willd. (Ehagadiolus Hedypnois, All.). 



Adelaide, South Australia (Max Koch; November, 1902); Nor- 

 wood, S.A. (J. M. Black; November, 1903); Victoria (without 

 special locality; H. St. Eloy D'Alton; 1903); and numerous 

 localities from New South Wales. 



This is a common introduced weed in this State, but is fre- 

 quently mistaken iov Arnoseris pusillay Gaertn., a mistake assisted 

 by the wrong inclusion of this plant in the list of naturalised 

 plants published in the ' Handbook of the Flora of N.S. Wales.' 

 A. pusilla is recorded by Bentham from Tasmania, but has never 

 been found outside that State as far as we know. Hedypnois 

 cretica, Willd., seems to be common also in Victoria and South 

 Australia, but is not recorded for these States. 



We have to thank Mons. G. Beauverd, of the Herbarium 

 Boissier, Geneva, for confirming our determination of this plant. 

 According to M. Beauverd, the Australian specimens are remark- 

 able for their long, often branching, and glabrous flower-stalks. 



Cassinia denticulata, R.Br. 



The range of this species is given in the ' Handbook of the 

 Flora of N.S. Wales' "from Clyde River to Port Jackson "; our 

 most northern locality in the Herbarium is now Berowra, near 

 Sydney, south of the Hawkesbury River ; but F. M. Bailey 

 records it in the ' Appendix to his Queensland Flora ' (Vol. vi. 

 p. 2007, 1902) from Killarney, so that the range for New South 

 Wales should read "from Clyde River to Queensland."
