green broadly pinnate leaves. It is a graceful addition to the 

 scrub. Grevillea striata is found at times in all inland scrubs as 

 far as Cape York. It presents a most peculiar appearance with 

 its pendulous ribbon-like leaves a foot or so in length, and half 

 an inch wide. Much of the same habit is Ilahea lorea, only its 

 long leaves are cylindrical and about an eighth of an inch in 

 diameter. Canthium huxifolium, C. vacciniifolium, and Yentilago 

 viminaUs may complete the mention of stragglers amid the 

 Brigalow. To mention all would be a long list. 



As a rule, as I have already stated, where Brigalow is thick it 

 almost excludes every other kind of vegetation, except of Salt 

 Bush {Rhagodia spinescens) and a few other inconspicuous plants. 

 Brigalow may therefore be understood to mean an almost exclusive 

 scrub of Acacia liarpopJiyUa, or thickets of a mixed character to 

 which the various trees and shrubs mentioned in this paper con- 

 tribute in varying proportions. True Brigalow extends from the 

 northern tributaries of the Darling to about Lat. 19 S. It may 

 extend further north, but I have not seen it. Of its western 

 limits I have no means of judging. It is found on the head 

 waters of the Barcoo and Flinders. I have not seen it nearer to 

 the east coast than about 30 miles. The followino: is a list of a 

 few of the plants noticed by me in the Brigalow scrubs in the 

 northern territory and not referred to in the preceding pages.
