Flora ot Aastralia. 71 



0. stricfu Avas recorded as Victorian in Mueller's Second 

 Census of Australian Plants, but there was no Victorian speci- 

 men of this species in the National Herbarium. 



Orthocarpus PU8ILLUS, Benth. (Scrophulariaceae). 



Chiltern, Victoria, Comm. by H. B. Williamson, Nov., .1910. 

 This naturalised alien has only been previously recorded from 

 the South- West. 



OxYLOBiuM ALPESTRE, F. V. M. (Leguminosac). 



Mentone, Victoria, C. Roberts, August, 1910, Jan., 1911. 



The plant is usually alpine. The present specimens have 

 broader and more hairy leaves than usual, some being slightly 

 hairy on the upper surface. The stipules are, however, distinct, 

 and the pod also that of the above species, instead of the closely 

 allied 0. ellipficiun. The descent of alpine plants to coastal 

 localities is not uncommon. 



PiMELEA ARGENTEA, R. Br. (Thymeleae). 



Central Greenough, North-West Australia, Max Koch, Sept., 

 1910, No. 2087. 



PoLYGALA MYRTiFOLiA, L. '" Myrtle-lcavcd Milkwort." 

 (Polygalaceae). 



Near Perth, Western Australia, F. Stoward, April, 1911. 



This South African plant, which has long been recorded in 

 Victoria as a naturalised alien, has now evidently established 

 itself in Western Australia. 



PoTENTiLLA RECTA, L. " Erect Poteutil." (Rosaceae). 



Penshurst, Victoria, H. B. Williamson, Nov., 1909, No. 1432. 

 A native of Europe, apparently only a garden escape. 



Pterostylis aphylla, Lind. P. parviflora, R. Br. (Orchidaceae). 



Pterostylis aphylla, Lindl., was considered to be a form of 

 P. jxirvi flora, R. Br., by F. v. Mueller, Fitzgerald and Reader. 

 Mueller afterwards entered P. aphylla in his MS. Census as a 

 distinct species.
