16 Ewm't, White and Rees: 



Hakea dactyloides, Cavanilles. (Proteaceae). 



Collected a few yards west of the entrance to Mallacoota Inlet 

 by C. C. Lacaita, 1909, and new for Victoria. This is another 

 instance of a N. S. Wales, species extending down the coast line 

 into Victoria. 



KocHiA Atkinsiana, W. F. Fitzgerald. (Chenopodiaceae). 



Near Champion Bay, West Australia, 1888. New locality. 



This specimen was marked by Baron von Mueller, " lobes of 

 calyx very large. With Kochia villosa." The erect lobes are 

 flatter and broader than the type, but the other differences are 

 trivial. 



Kochia Murrayana, n. sp. Ewart and Rees. (Chenopodiaceae). 

 In recognition of the addition by the present Victorian 

 Government of £1000 to the Annual Research Endowment 

 Fund. 



Isaac Tyson, 1908, Mt. Narryer, Murchison River, W.A. 



Apparently a small shrub, stems and leaves covered with 

 woolly hairs. Leaves alternate, sessile, linear, obtuse, flattened, 

 half to one inch long, densely covered with woolly hairs. 

 Flowers, solitary, axillary. Styles 2, persistent. Fruiting 

 perianth convex and extending over fruit, surrounded by hori- 

 zontal, membranous, finely-veined wings connected in a ring 

 about half an inch in width. Total diameter, including fruit, 

 about \^ inches. Perianth woolly tomentose, the latter character 

 extending partly over surface of wings. Calyx-tube woody. 

 Pericarp thin and membranous. 



The species is easily distinguished from K. villosa hj the 

 convex fruiting perianth, as well as by the large expansion of 

 the wings and by the larger leaves.

 proach to Minuria suaedifolia. Minuriella is separated mainly
