Amakanthus albus, L. " Tumble Weed or White Amaranth." 

 (Amarantaceae). 



Ballarat, Victoria, H. B. Williamson. 1915. 



A new locality for this naturalized alien, which has hitherto not 

 been plentiful in this State. 



Andropogon erianthoides, F. v. M. (Gramineae). 



This grass, a native of Queensland and New South Wales, was 

 recorded in the Victorian Naturalist, Vol. XXIV., page 12, 1907, 

 from Victoria on the basis of specimens from Shepparton, December, 

 1900. These were from the Herbarium of Mr. C. Walter. Mr. E. 

 Pescott informs me that he grew the grass in his garden at Shep- 

 parton during the years 1900-1904, and forwarded many specimens 

 of it to Mr. C. Walter, who apparently in his locality record omitted 

 the word " Cult i rated." As the grass seems to have died out since 

 at Shepparton, its name cannot even be retained on the list of 

 naturalized aliens for the State. 



Artemisia vulgaris, L. " Mugwort." (Compositae). 

 Near Williamstown. J. J. Palmer, March, 1915. 

 A native nf Europe, previously only recorded from Coode Island, 

 Victoria.
