Flora of Australia. 21/ 



The figure here given is a drawing of the original specimen, which 

 Tate described in the Trans, and Proe. of the Roy. Soc. of South 

 Australia, IX. (1887), 60, as a new species under the name, (J ata- 

 ri enia cardiocMla, showing the natural colours. The anterior 

 perianth lobes are possibly a trifle broader than the type C. Cairn- 

 siana, but the plant can hardly be distinguished even as a variety. 

 In the Index Kewensis Suppl. primum, 0. cardiochila is given as 

 a synonym to C. Cairnsiana (PI. XXII). The curious specimen 

 shown on Plate XXII. was found by Mr. ( .!. French at Ring- 

 wood, Oct., 1913. It has an imperfect lower flower, which is male, 

 and has only two perianth parts, anterior and posterior, and a 

 simple column, with a terminal pair of anther lobes. The labelium 

 is entirely absent. 



Ohilianthus dysophyllus, Bentham. " Dense-leaved Ohilianthus 



(Loganiaceae). 



Cheltenham, J. W. Audas, 7/9/1915. 



A native of South Africa, and is a garden escape. 



Crataegus oxyacantha, L. " Common Hawthorn." (Rosaceae). 



Berwick to Narre Warren, J. W. Audas, October, 1914. 



This common hedge plant, a native of Europe, is now spreading 

 in the above district, but apparently it has not yet established itself 

 sufficiently to be considered naturalized. 



Cuscuta racemosa, Mart. " Scented Dodder." (Convolvulaceae). 



Sale, Victoria, Mr. T. Brittlebank, April, 1914. 



This parasite, a native of Brazil, has now made its appearance 

 in the Sale District, and may possibly occur in other localities, but 

 has been confused with ordinary Dodder. It can be recognized by 

 the long stalks of the flowers, and by having a sweet scent, especially 

 noticeable at night time. At present it is hardly sufficiently 

 established to be considered naturalized. 



Eciiium violaceum, L. " Pater so ii 's Curse or Purple Bugloss." 

 (Boraginaceae). 



Cobram, Victoria, Rupert R. Chomley, Oct., 1915. 

 A specimen with white flowers.
