464 OBSERVATIONS ON PLANTS, 



Not rarely of firm strictness and perhaps perennial. The leaves 

 not seldom widened to a narrow-lanceolar form, and often bearing 

 conspicuous vestiture. Sepals from white to rosy-red ; in the 

 latter case the plant becomes highly ornamental. 



GOMPHRENA CANESCENS, R. Brown. 



Prince Regent's River. Occurs also in Dampier's Archipelagus 

 (Walcott), Fitzroy River (Paterson), Lagrange Bay (Panton), 

 Yule River (Hon. Sir John Forrest), Georgina River (St. Dittrich). 



Mr. Bradshaw singles this out for record as a pasture-herb, 

 consumed with predilection by his horses. G. globosa has been 

 gathered in N. E. Queensland, but perhaps only as a garden-fugitive.
