'6'^^. Etvart, Rees and Wood : 



naturalised in swamps on the (loulburn River, near Nagambie. 

 Possibly it was planted in the tirst instance, and has since run 

 wild. It was formerly used as a cooling and wound healing 

 specific, but has now no reputed medicinal value. The root 

 •contains starch like that of arrowroot, and is used as food, 

 by the Kalmucks. The leaves do not appear to be injurious, 

 and though hardly to be classed as good fodder are apparently 

 ^aten by stock when ]>etter feed is unavailable.

Trans. Royal Soc. of S. Australia, vol. xx.xiii., p. 224, 1909. 



Tliis may prove to be a local form of S. esuriale, Lindl., 

 with four partite flowers developed as an abnormality. The 

 narrow incurved leaves, tomentose covering, single flowers, 

 and i)rickles also occur in .S'. est(riale, the prickles being 

 especially well developed in desert specimens, but usually more 

 slender than in the type si)ecimen of .S'. coactiliferiim. Hoth 

 ])lants vary, however, in regard to the prickles.
