144 BOTANICAL NOTES OX QUEENSLAND, 



triphylla, (Sieb. in Spreng. Syst. Cur. Post. 148). The flowers 

 were exceeclingl}^ small. It was found on the banks of the Wilde 

 Eiver at Herberton, The genus is peculiarly Australian, and 

 therefore not a common one in North-east Australia, but if ever 

 Australian species do manifest themselves in this part of the 

 continent it is only on the very high lands. 



Eriostemon Banhsii, , A. Ounn. Barron and Daintree Iviver 

 mouths ; sandy places also on the loose sandy country between 

 Cape Bedford and M'lvor Hiver. 



Philotheca ? australis, Budge. A species which I took to be the 

 above was found by me on the basaltic tablelands of Emerald 

 Downs. The specimen has been subsequently mislaid. 



Zanthoxylon hrachyacanthum, F. v. Muell. In the scrubs near 

 Mackay. 



Glycosmis ])Gntaphylla, Corr. Daintree River, Range near 

 Port Douglas. An Asiatic species of wide tropical range. 



Clausena hrcvistyla, Oliv. Port Douglas, Coral Islets oS Cape 

 Plattery. 



Atlanta glaiica, Hook. On all the volcanic table lands of the 

 interior, within the tropics as far as the Burdekin River. I did 

 not notice it further north. It is a constant ingredient in the 

 " Brigalow Scrubs." 



Citrus australasica, F. v. Muell. The common Queensland 

 wild orange which in spite of its intensely acid flavour is readily 

 eaten by children. I have seen it on all the eastern river jungles 

 as far north as the Barron River. 



Before I leave the Rutacece. I should mention that I collected 

 some species on the "Wilde River which I thought at the time 

 were Zieria Sniithii. This plant forms dense thickets in the sub- 

 alpine regions of Tasmania and it would be in keeping with the 

 other alpine species to find it at Herberton, rendering the flora 

 of that locality still more interesting. A good many specimens
