92 ANNUAL MEETING. 
location at Noorgoora, Upper Brisbane. This noxious and re- 
puted poisonous plant is making great progress in distribution, 
and promises to become one of the greatest pests of the colony. 
So far as observed it is still confined to the neighbourhood of 
the river. Tagetes glandulifera, ‘stinking Roger,’ everywhere ; 
Cnicus lanceolatus, Scotch thistle, at Rosewood and Mount 
Mistake ; Anagallis arvensis, the blue variety of the pimpernell of 
England, was recognised at Indooroopilly ; Asclepias curassavica, 
seems to be at home everywhere; Lithospermum arvensis the 
‘sroomwell’ of England, at Indooroopilly; Lycopersicum esculentum, 
at the Three-mile Scrub and Rosewood ; Solanum aculeatissimum, 
at Mount Gravatt and other places in East Moreton; Physalis 
peruviana, Cape gooseberry, at Ithaca, Taylor's Range, the Gap, 
Three-mile Scrub, Rosewood, and Mount Mistake. It was par- 
ticularly abundant and appreciated at Rosewood. Capsicum 
frutescens, in the Three-mile Scrub; Lantana Camara, is found 
nearly throughout the East Moreton district, where it is fast 
taking possession of the scrubs; Verbena bonariensis, East 
Moreton generally ; Salvia coccinea, scarlet sage, often grown as a 
border plant, was found at Ithaca and at Rosewood; Stachys 
arvensis, was observed, but always near cultivations ; Phytolacca 
octandra, ‘poke weed,’ at Three-mile Scrub, the Gap, and 
Rosewood. At the last place it was found in greater or less pro- 
fusion covering acres of ground. Lactuca scariola, the ‘ prickly 
lettuce,’ at Rosewood. A local resident gave the information 
that it had caused death among milking cows which had eaten of 
it. Stenotaphrum americanum, buffalo grass, at Mount Mistake. 
Rosewood proved very rich in naturalised forms, which have got a 
strong toothold in neglected cultivations. Helidon was singularly 
poor in this respect.”
