few specimens gathered on the Logan belonging to H. teucrioides. 

 H. tetragyna is very common in these localities, whereas H. 

 teucrioides seldom occurs in the district. 



Myriophyllum variozfolium. J. Hook, Jc. PI. t. 289. 

 In many swamps, and slow running creeks. 



Rhizophore^e. 

 Rhizopliora mucronata, Lam. Enclyc. meth. "VI., 169. 

 This and the following species reach from the tropics to our 

 southern shores. Not uncommon on the saline swamps at the 

 mouth of the .Nerang Creek. I learn from Baron von Mueller, 

 that its bark possesses medicinal properties. It has been tried in 

 cases of hsematuria. The stripping of the bark, which is of 

 unusual thickness and heavy consistence, may prove a remunerative 

 occupation if a market was open for its ready disposal. 



Ceriops Candolleana, Arn. Ann. "Nat. Hist. I., 364. 

 Found in salt-water estuaries. It mingles with Brugiera Rheedi, 

 BL, Avicennia officinalis, L., jEgiceras majus Gaert, all along the 

 southern coast. 



MYRTACEiE. 



Bceckea crenulata, R. Br. in Flind. voy. 548. 



There are two most remarkable varieties of this plant, one at 

 Burleigh Head, and the other at Stradbroke Island, each occupying 

 the utmost opposite limit within the circle of specific range. The 

 aspect, habit, leaves of both, proclaim them utterly distinct. The 

 one of Stradbroke Island, presents a trailing habit of growth 

 through the mass of entangled vegetation among swamps, with long 

 branches almost flagellate, with closely appressed leaves nearly 

 thrice the size of those of the other variety. The other growing 

 at Burleigh Head, on the other hand is virgate, with smaller and 

 more spreading leaves. Its resemblance with B. densifolia Sm., is 

 very striking. When gathering the two on the swampy ground 

 near Stanthorpe, it was no easy matter to discriminate one from 

 the other. B. densifolia and this variety of B. crenulata, seem 

 more like one another, than the two varieties above mentioned-
