302 Alfred J. Ewart : 



weed, and has been used for lawns in Egypt, where grasses and 

 ordinary h\wn plants fail. 



MoRGANiA. GLABRA, R. Br. "Smooth Morgania." (Scrophulariaceae). 

 Myall, near Kerang. Miss Sheehan (H.B.W. No. 1465.) 

 Not previously recorded as Victorian. Baron von Mueller in- 

 cluded all the species of Morgania Avith Stemodia viscosa as Stemodia 

 Morgania, and hence the distribution of the species of Morgania 

 now recognised is not easy to trace, but no previous specimens of it 

 or records of it from Victorian localities can be found. 



Olkaria ramulosa, Benth., var. intkrmkdia, A. J. Ewart. 

 New variety. (Conipositae). 



J. W. Andas. (xrampians, 1914. 



This form has the leaves of the type and the small heads of 

 (Aster) Oltaria microjihylla, Vent., thus justifying Bentham's inclu- 

 sion of this species as a varietj/ of 0. ramulosa. Baron von 

 Mueller maintained both species in the Census, although Bentham 

 noted the small flower heads of the Grampians form. 



It is apparently a mountain variety, whereas other intermediate 

 forms which come nearer to the variety microphylla are coastal 

 plants (Portland, etc.). 



Ononis spinosa, L. (Conipositae). 



Cobden, C. A. Ogilvie, 1913. 



This weed, the " Spiny Restbarrow,'' a native of Europe, may 

 now be considered to be definitely naturalised. Though practically 

 useless as a fodder plant, it usually grows on the poorer soils, and 

 since it is easily destroyed by cultivation, is hardly to be regarded 

 as a serious weed. 



Orthocekas stkictum, K. Br. " Crow Orchid." (Orcliidaceae). 



Head of Barry's Creek, Wilson's Promontory. Messrs. Pitcher 

 and Audas, Dec, 1912. Not previously lecorded for the National 

 Park. 



PnY.SALls VISCOSA, L. "Sticky Cape Goo.seberry or (i round Cherry." 

 (Soliinaceae). 

 C. C. Brittlel)ank, .Marcli. 1913. 



Growing in sucli al)undanci' as to be almost a pest. The plant, 

 which has already been recorded as an exotic, may now be regarded 

 as definitely naturalised.
