Flora of Australia. 21 



Professor Hoffmann agrees with Bentham in placing Stobaea 

 as a sub-genus to Berkheva, but no transference of this species 

 has been made hitherto. 



This pest is spreading along the shores of Port Phillip, and 

 may therefore be considered naturalised. 



Chenopodium (Roubieva) multifidum, L. (Chenopodiaceae). 

 "Scented Goosefoot." 



Geelong, December, 1906, H. B. Williamson ; Kailway Re- 

 serve, North Melbourne, March, 1909, J. R. Tovey and C. 

 French, jnr. 



The plant is apparently naturalized around the shores of Port 

 Phillip Bay, and is a native of South America. Introduced 

 sparingly in the coastal districts of North America, Italy and 

 France. It is sometimes classed as a separate genus (Roubieva). 

 on account of the calyx enclosing the fruit, but the same 

 peculiarity is shown by Chenopodiurri ambrosioides, L. " Mexi- 

 can Tea," which has also established itself in many parts of 

 Victoria. 



Ranunculus repens, L. (Ranunculaceae). " Creeping 

 Buttercup." 



Outtrim, Victoria, 1904, Dow; Emerald, 1907, J. W. Audas, 

 and now widely spread. 



RuBUS LACINIATUS, Willd. (Rosaceae). "Jagged-leaved 

 Bramble." 



Creswick, April, 1909, Prof. Ewart; Thorpdale, Gippsland, 

 Victoria, 1909, A. W. Vroland ; near Gloucester, New S. Wales, 

 Betche, January, 1882. 



Probably sufficiently established to be considered naturalized. 



This species being without definite locality, is sometimes 

 placed under E. fruticosus. Its peculiar leaves and 3-fid petals, 

 as well as minor features, appear to justify specific rank.
