SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ON THE MALLEE FLORA. 

 By a. D. Hardy. 

 Since the publication of the paper, ''The Mallee: Ouyen to 

 Pinaroo — Botanical Notes " [vide Vict. Nat., vol. xxx., No. g, 

 January, 1914), additional narnes adopted by the Plant Records 

 Committee have reached me through the National Herbarium, 

 and these may be used to fill all or nearly all of the blanks in 

 the middle column of the systematic Hst. My attention has 

 been drawn to the difficulty experienced by many country and 

 other members of the Club who, without easy access to the 

 necessary literature, fail to recognize certain species where the 

 names differ from those of Baron von Mueller's " Key to the 

 System of Victorian Plants." In a list of equivalents below 

 will be found a number of the omitted names. Opportunity 

 is now taken to correct a few errors which crept in through 

 proofs having been read in the country during the New Year 

 holiday, when reference books were out of reach. 



Altered or Modified Classification. — The large order Legu- 

 minosge — undivided in the "Key" — is divided and subdivided in 

 Bentham and Mueller's " Flora Austrahensis " into sub-orders : 

 PapiUonaceae, Cesalpiniese, and Mimoseae, and these, again, into 

 various tribes. The three sub-orders are represented in the 

 Mallee, and in my list the word Cesalpinieae should have been 

 inserted so as to include the two species of Cassia. The order 

 Salsolacese is now known as Chenopodiacege, and AsperifoHse 

 as Boragineae. Rhizospermeae should have been placed after 

 Gramineae. Errata. 



For Atriplex seniibaccatum read Atriplex seinihaccata. 

 For B(vckea ericacea read BcBckea ericcea. 

 For Settccio niagnificiwi read Senecio viaoiiificus. 

 For EricacecE read EpacridecT. 



Helichrynim cyinosa should be omitted, this being the name of a South African 

 species, and entered inadvertently.
