By C. T. WHITE 
(Botanic Gardens, Brishane). 
{ Read before the Royal Society of Queensland, 30th October, 
1916). 
The following observations relate to a few plants 
collected during the past couple of years in the neighbour- 
hood of Brisbane; unless otherwise stated the specimens 
have been gathered personally by myself and many of them 
on the local excursions of the Field Naturalists’ Club. 
Several references are made to specimens in the Queensland 
Herbarium, and my thanks are due to the Government 
Botanist (Mr. J. F. Bailey) for permission to use this 
material. 
MENISPERMACE. 
LEGNEPHORA MOOREI, Wiers. 
This is a very common climber in the Brisbane scrubs, 
the leaves are often very large, some in our collection being 
10in. diam. on petioles of 7in.; these leaves are found 
scattered about the floor of the scrub in great abundance. 
MALVACEA. 
SIDA CORDIFOLIA, Linn. 
Has been met with in several places about Brisbane. 
It is a very common weed about some of our northern 
towns. In the Queensland Herbarium we have it from 
the following localities :—Johnstone River (N. Michael) ; 
Stannary Hills (Dr. T. L. Bancroft) ; Lucinda Point (G. B. 
Forrest); Cairns (E. Jarvis); Rockhampton (C.T.W.) ;
