Celtis PHILIPPINENSIS, Bliiuco. (Zizyplius melastoinoides, Cunn.). 

 (Urticacejie). 



Tropical Australia, A. Ciinningliain, 1818-1821. 



This plant was in the Herbarium under the name Zizyphus melas- 

 iomoides, A. Cunn., but does not occur in Mueller's Census. In 

 Benth. Fl. Aust. Vol. 1, p. 412, and in the Index Kewensis, Z. 

 melastomoides, A. Cunn., is given as a ('fjfi- -s/^, but no definite, 

 specific name is given. 



The specimen agrees closely with the type specimen of C. philippin 

 ensis, and hence must be placed as a synonym to that species. 



Cyanostegia microphylla, S. Le Moore. (Verbeuaceae). 

 Spencer le Moore (Journal of Botany, vol. xli. 1903, page 100), 

 states that this new species is identical with the Elder Exporing 

 Expedition specimen marked by Mueller as C. rvrczaninowii. 

 Baron von Mueller under this name included 3 varieties. Variety 

 avgustifolia (C. angustifolia, Turcz.), var. laaceolata {G. lanceo- 

 lata, Turcz.), and var. dentata {C. mir.ropJnjlla, S. le Moore). All 

 three species appear to be distinct. 



The full list of localities for G. microphylla will therefore be :— 

 Coolgardie district, L. C. Webster, 1897 and 1902, Menzies, Diels, 

 1903; Gnarlbine, Helms, Elder Exploring Expedition, 1891; South- 

 ern Cross and Parker's Range, E. Merrill, 1890; Yilgarn, near 

 Mt. Moore, King and Lefroy, 1899 ; between Victoria Springs, Ula- 

 ring, and Mt. Jackson, Young, October. 1873. 

 All are Western Australian localities. 



Gytisus linifolius, Lam, "Flax Biooni.' (Leguniinosae). 



Talbot, Victoria, G. Porter, 1885; Pakenham and Nar Xar 

 Goon, Victoria, J. W. Audas, November, 1912. 



A native of the Mediterranean region. This plant has now evi- 

 dently established itself in various localities, and may be classed 

 as a iiaturalised alien in this State. It is often grown in gardens. 



Dksmazeria acutifloha (Nees.), Dur. and Scliinz. (Bkizopykum 

 ACUTiFLORUM, Nees ; Eragrostis agutiflora). (Graniineae). 



Identified by Professor Hitchcock.
