CoNYZA SCAIUOSAKFOLIA, Reiiiy. (Coiiipositae). " Rough 

 Couyza." 



Governinent House Reserve, April. 1897, J. R. T'ovey ; Elstern- 

 ■wick, July, 1910, Gordon Parker. 



This plant is a native of Chili, and appears now to be defi- 

 nitely established as a naturalised alien in the Melbourne district. 

 It was oriirinally identified by Mr Luehniann as Conyza aegyp- 

 tiaca, Aiton., a native of North Australia and Queensland, as 

 well as of Asia and Africa. It differs from that species in the 

 involucre, indumentum, leaves and achene. The plant appears 

 to have oriirinally escaped from the Botanical Gardens, its 

 pappus bearinir seeds being readily carried by the wind.
