Dodoncea viscosa, var. attenuata, A. Cunn., (Hopbush). 



Ueterodendron olewfolium. 



A It (fay a hemiglauca. 



Eucalyptus populifolia . 



Pittosporum phillyrceoides, DC, a graceful tree up to 20 ft. high, 

 with drooping foliage and yellow fruit. " Berrigan " is said to 

 be the aboriginal name for it on the Lachlan. 



At 16 miles a new Eucalypt with pale leaves appears, E. 

 intertexta, Baker, and continues practically the whole way to 

 Condobolin, crossing to the south of the Lachlan. It is known 

 variously as "Gum," "Coolabah,'' "Yellow Box," "Red Box," 

 " Bastard Box," and is one of the largest trees in the west. It 

 gets its name of Gum from its upper bark on the trunk, and 

 branches being white and smooth, while the lower is light brown 

 and flaky, but the hardness of the wood, which is red and difficult 

 to split, proclaims its affinity to the Box trees. 



Between the 16 and 43 mile posts, besides Eucalyptus populi- 

 folia and E. intertexta, which continue all the way, and are the 

 only Eucalypts, there are : — 



Capparis Mitchelli. 



Loranthus linearifoliits, Hook., (a mistletoe with pink flowers 

 in May, growing on Flindersia maculosa). 



L. Exocarpi, Behr, (a mistletoe with yellow flowers in May, 

 growing on Acacia aneura), 



Heterodendron olecefolium, rather a dwarf form known as Blue 

 Bush from its glaucous leaves. This species is altogether of 

 diminutive size about Bourke and Cobar, and becomes much 

 larger towards the south-east. 



Acacia Burkittii, F.v M., (Needle Bush), growing in clumps of 

 a few acres, about 6 or 8 feet high. 



At 27 miles are : — 



Acacia homalophylla, (A. Cunn.), rather a drooping form of 

 Yarran, but not Acacia pendula, A. Cunn. 



A. excelsa. 



Grevillea striata.
