Note. — The specimen of Lyciitm australe was sent to me by the State 

 Forester. It so resembles the larger species, L. horridum, or African 

 Box-thorn that the name Mallee Box-thorn is now suggested. From 

 near Lake Hattah Mr. Perry forwarded a specimen of Codonocavpus 

 cotinifolius, F. v. M., as a rare plant. 



Topographical Classification. 

 Topographical classification, in which not all, but most of the more 

 conspicuous plants are included, with indications of maximum 

 size, thus : — 25 x 12 = 25 feet high, diameter stem 12 inches. ; e.g., 

 Belar 25-60 (ft.) x 30 (in.) The diameter of shrub stems is not given, 

 nor the heights of some where the record would be due to " guessing 

 from memory." Names in parentheses are in use by Mallee residents.
