216 PLANTS NEW TO SOUTH QUEENSLAND, 



PiTTOSPORE/E. 



\_Comefiperma splicer ocarpum, Steetz., in PI. Preiss. 

 About swamps at Stradbroke Island, and many other places in 

 tbe mainland towards Nerong Creek. 



Caryophille^. 



Sfellaria glauca, With- 

 in moist places commonly met with, as well as along the Logan 

 and Albert Elvers. 



HyPERICINEiE. 



S'ljpericiim japonidftm, Thunb., Fl. Jap. 



I could discover only one specimen of this plant at Tambourine 

 Mountain. Its vicinitj^ to a garden -where imported seeds were 

 sown suggests that it might have been introduced into Queens- 

 land ; still as the mountain is rich with specimens of New South 

 Wales vegetation and as H. japonicuin is recorded as indigenous 

 in New England, and on the Clarence, localities much akin to 

 this mountain, it may with safety be assumed that it appears 

 here not by introduced seeds, but by natural processes of distri- 

 bution. Although scanty it is indigenous to the Mountain. 



Malvace^. 

 Mahastrum tricuspidatiim, A. Gray. 

 Very seldom to be seen ; about the edges of scrubs.
