82 Sutton, Notes on the Sandringham Flora, [vol'xxix. 



leaved Burnettia. B. ciineata ; and between there and Mentone 

 the lovely Purple Diuris, D. punctata. He further mentions 

 that the most noticeable of our Lobelias, L. simplicicauljs. is 

 pretty common on a flat at the back of the tram-sheds at 

 Black Rock. 



In explanation of the unlooked-for occurrence of the Golden 

 Shaggy-pea, Oxylobimn ellipticum, at Black Rock, INIr. Charles 

 French writes :— " As one who helped to lay out the garden 

 at Black Rock in 1855, I may say that this plant, together with 

 many others obtained from the Botanic Gardens, seeded, and 

 was carried all over the place, and you will find several eucalypts, 

 &c., in Ebden's paddock which are also escapees." The 

 Oxylobium thus cannot be regarded as belonging to Sand- 

 ringham. Mr. French also remarked that he missed " the 

 dear little Preiss Club-moss." Selaginella Preisseana, from the 

 list. This has since been found in great abundance near to 

 Heatherton. 



Calochiliis campestris and Diuris pahistris were both found by 

 Mr. Charles French, as stated in his paper on " The Orchidea' 

 of Victoria," Vict. Nat., vol. i. — the first on the Caulfield Race- 

 course and at Cheltenham, and the other once only near the 

 Observatory. 



The remaining additions, other than those of my own finding, 

 have been taken from Hannaford's "Jottings" and Mueller's 

 " Plants Indigenous to the Colony of Victoria," and for these 

 I feel somewhat apologetic, as they should not have escaped 

 notice in making up the census in the first place. They are : — 

 The Oval Shepherd's Purse, Capsella elliptica, C. A. Meyer = 

 C. procumbens. Fries. = Stenopelahim inciscBJoliinn, Hook., fils ; 

 the first and second names described respectively in "PI. 

 Indig." and the " Flora Australiensis " as occurring in " boggy, 

 slightly saline places around Port Phillijx" These authorities 

 would i)erhaps be sufficient, but in Hannaford's " Jottings " 

 we have the habitat more particularly set down as " sandy 

 cliffs by the sea near Brighton," under Capsella australasica, 

 Ferd. Mueller, figured in " Icones Plantarum." vol. iii., 

 tab. 276, and there named Stenopctahnn incisijolimn (sic). No 

 other record has, however, been elsewhere found of C. austral- 

 asica. Salt Plagianth, Plagianthus spicaius, Benth. = Sida 

 Lawrenciana, F. Mucll., " in salt-marshes scattered along the 

 coast .... at the entrance of the Yarra "(" PI. Indig.") 

 Many-flowered Starwort. Stcllaria iniillifiora. Hook.. " rocky 

 places near St. Kilda " (Hannaford, " Jottings ") : Small Pearl- 

 wort, Sagina apetala, Linne, " in low meadows around Port 

 Phillip " (" PI. Indig.") ; Milky Beauty-heads, Caloccphalns 

 lacteus, Less., " among Juncacefe at St. Kilda, &c." (Hanna- 

 ford, " Jottings ").
