Plant Physiology in the Melbourne University). 



(Eead December 14th, 1916). 



AiLANTHUS GLANDULOSA, Desf. " Chinese Tree of Heaven." 

 (Simarubaceae). 



Bacchus Marsh, J. W. Audas, October, 1916. 



This tree, a native of China, is frequently grown in gardens or 

 planted in reserves, etc. 



In the Bacchus Marsh district it appears to spread on each side 

 of a 300 yards length of road to a deptli of 10 to 15 yards, possibly 

 partly by sucker growth from planted trees. The plant also occurs 

 along the Lerderderg River. When fully grown it forms a large 

 tree, but the timber does not appear to have a great economic value. 

 The plant may ultimately become naturalised, but the evidence for 

 this is as yet insufficient. 



Allium sphakrocephalum, L. "Round Headed Allium." 

 (Liliaceae). 



Warrnambool, L. Crawley, August, 1914. 



A native of Europe, apparently not yet sufficiently established to 

 be considered naturalised. 



Amsinckia lycopsoides, Lehm. "Loose Amsinckia." (Boraginaceae). 



Buninyong, Victoria, H. B. Williamson, November, 1915. 



A native of California, U.S., America. This is a new locality 

 in Victoria for this introduced plant, as it has previously been 

 recorded from the North-Eastern district only. It may now be 

 considered to be a definitely naturalised alien. It is apt to become 

 a troublesome pest in arable land, and should be suppressed.
