648 INDIGENOUS PLANTS IN THE COBAR DISTRICT, ii., 



Calotis scabiosifolia Sond. & F.v.M. Wuttagoona. September. 

 C. plumulifera F.v.M. Wuttagoona. This answers in all 

 respects to the type, but has no plumose hairs on the 

 achenes of my specimen. 

 C. microcephala Benth. Cobar. June. 



Epaltes australis Less. O'Gorman's Tank, and at other places 

 about Cobar 



Myriocephalus rhizocephalus Benth. Meryula. September. 



Leptorrhyncus Waitzia Sond. Towards Louth and Wutta-

 type in having narrow linear leaves.

 H. LyEVK Benth. A small herb of only a few inches. Wutta- 

 goona. September. 



Hypochceris glabra Linn. " Hogweed." The leaf-veins of my 

 specimen are scabrous. Hospital Hill, Cobar. Sep- 

 tember. 



*Sonchus oleraceus. This was wrongly recorded as S. arvensis 

 in my first List. My specimen was an abnormal growth 

 having a glandular-pubescent calyx, and I mistook it 

 for a modified form of the latter. 



*Carthamus lanatus Linn. " Saffron Thistle," but known to 

 some asa" Star-Thistle." A troublesome weed, getting
