436 BOTAN-S OP RYLSTONE AND GOULBURN RIVER DISTRICTS, 



P. SQUAMULOSUM, Beiith. Common on all the sandstone 

 ranges from Rylstone to Goulburn River; and it is 

 perhaps the most conspicuous shrub in the month of 

 September, when it is in full flower. Height from 1 2- 

 20 feet, the coast representative rarely exceeding a 

 dozen feet. 



Philotheca australis, Rudge. On sandstone ridges. Most of 

 the specimens incline to Sieber's P. Reichenbachiana, 

 but as the leaf varies in nearly every plant, I have 

 placed them all under Rudge's species as suggested by 

 Baron von Mueller; September to November. Petals 

 white or pink, as distinct from the mauve colour of the 

 coast plants. 



OlACINEtE. 



Olax stricta, R. Br. Murrumbo; October (flower and fruit). 



Stackhousie.e. 



Stackhousia monogyna, Labill. On moist damp flats; September 

 and October. 



Rhamne^. 



Alphitonia excelsa, Reissek. " Red Ash; " under the crown 

 of the high rocks on the banks of the Goulburn River 

 (Macdonald's Flat\ Murrumbo; only small trees seen; 

 in early fruit; bark white and smooth. 



Pomaderris lanigera, Sims. Kelgoola and Barrigan Ranges; 



Bylong; September. 



P. PHYLiciFOLiA, Lodd. Only found at one spot, viz., about 

 two miles from the foot of Cox's Gap, Murrumbo side, 

 on the banks of a creek, and only one shrub seen, and 

 that about 5 feet high. I first collected it in bud in 

 October, 1893, and again visited the same tree in 

 September, 1895, but was unfortunate in again finding 

 it only in bud, — owing no doubt to the severe drought 

 from Avhich the whole Colony was suifering at that time.
