Rumex halophilus F.v.M. Cobar. 



R. crispus Linn. Occidental Tank, Wright ville. September. 

 Polygonum plebium R.Br. 



PROTEACEiE. 



Hakea leucopteka R.Br. On red sandy soil, in several places. 

 September. 



Euphorbiace^e. 



Euphorbia Dkummondii Boiss., (additional note). " Poison- 

 Weed. ' I had, in my first List, written this as a 

 poisonous plant; but though drovers are very emphatic 

 about it as such, in laboratories it is not considered as 

 containing any virus. Probably, therefore, it is only 

 mechanically dangerous to stock, especially when 

 animals, having empty stomachs, after a long and hot 

 day's journey, are turned on to it. 

 E. ekemophila Cunn. Wuttagoona. 



Poranthera microphylla Brongn. Nymagee. September. 



Phyllanthus Fuernrohrii F.v.iVJ. Wuttagoona. September. 



Santa LACFiE. 

 Exocarpus cupressiformis Labill. On granite-hills at Nymagee. 



Subclass iv. GYMNOSPERM^. 



Conifers. 

 Callitris verrucosa R.Br. " Turpentine- Pine." On sandy 

 slopes, 40 miles south west of Cobar, and south of 

 Nymagee. 

 C. gracilis (additional note). There is an abundance of this 

 Pine growing on the Meadows runs, about 45 miles west 

 of Cobar. It seems to choose low-lying ridges of crushed 

 sandstone, over a substratum of limestone. It freely 

 intermixes with C. glauca. 



The local Pines, though by some authorities said to 

 be suitable for sleepers, etc., are quite useless when 

 once the timber is dry, to bear any such strain; it has 

 a habit of breaking up almost like earthenware.
