318 BOTANY OF THE INTERIOR OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 



(►Spinifex), growing in the Mallee scrub, Myoporum deserti (Dog- 

 wood), Callitris verrucosa (Spreading Pine), A'po'pliyllum anoma- 

 luDi (Currant or Warrior Bush), Dodom^a viscosa, var. attenuata 

 (Hopbush), Capparis Mitchelli (Wild Orange), Cassia eremophila, 

 Eremopliila longifolia (Emu ^\x%\i),E.Mitclielll (Budtha), Geijera 

 parvijiora (Wilga), and the large climber, Lyonsia eucalyptifolia. 



In one place the Cypress Pine was found forming a dense almost 

 impenetrable scrub extending along the road for 3 or 4 miles. 



The Acacias noticed were : — A. Jiomalophylla (Yarran), A. 

 Oswaldi, A. aneura (Mulga), A. doratoxylon, A. hakeoides {some- 

 times, called Black Wattle), A. Burkittii (Kangaroo Bush), and 

 A. decora (Silver Wattle). 



The Eucalypts were represented by E. populifolia (Bimble Box), 

 E. intertexta (Gum or Yellow Box), E. viridis (i^arrow-Leaf or 

 Whipstick Mallee), E. oleosa, and E. dumosa, the last two 

 forming a Mallee scrub for several miles. In this scrub _£/. intertexta 

 was noticed in some instances assuming the Mallee form, having 

 short stems and several from one root, but this is rather an 

 unusual feature with this species. On a creek near the Homestead 

 is E. rostrata (River Red Gum). 



Between Wirchilleba and Eremeran Homesteads the vegetation 

 continues much the same, as will be seen by the names of the 

 following trees and shrubs which were passed, there being Callitris 

 rohusta, Dodonma viscosa, var. attenuata, Hakea leucopteruy 

 Apophyllum anomalum, Heterodendron olecBfolium, Eremopliila 

 Mitchelli, E. longifolia, Geijera par vijlor a, Sterculia diversifolia. 

 Cassia eremopliila, Eriostemon difformis, SccBvola spinescens, 

 Bossicea sp., among the Mallee, Myoporum deserti, Pittosporum 

 pliillyrceoides, Olearia sp., Exocarpus cupressiformis (Native 

 Cherry), and Tecoma australis (Bignonia). 



Close to Wirchilleba is a shrub with sticky leaves, and in 

 appearance something like Ere7nopliila Mitchelli (previously 

 mentioned in Part ii., p. 709). 



Casuarina quadrivalvis was found growing near Eremeran 

 Homestead, where the formation for some miles is granite.
