NARKATIVE OF MR. CARRON. 125 



Kennedjja, Bamhusa (bamboo)^ S^nilax, Cisstis, 

 Mucuna, and various climbing' plants unknown to 

 me : the trees consisted principally of Eugenia, 

 Anacardium, Castanospermum (Moreton Bay chest- 

 nut)^ a fine species of SarcocepJialus, and a laro*e 

 spreading" tree belong-ing* to the natural order Ruta-

 growth, bearing- long- spikes of brig-ht j^ellow flowers, 

 the sepals spotted with rich purple. I found also 

 another species with smaller leaves, and more slender

 and tips of the sepals purple : and a very fine 

 Cymbidivm, much larg-er than C. suave, with brown 

 blossoms, having* a yellow column.

 for a short distance, and entered a fresh water swamp 

 about a mile from the beach, covered with very thick 

 scrub, composed of larg-e trees of the g-enus 3Iela- 

 leuca, running- for the most part from forty to fifty 

 feet hig-h. Here also I first found a strong'-gr owing 

 climbing- palm (Calamus Australis), throwing- up a 

 number of shoots from its roots, many of them 100 

 feet long, and about the thickness of a man's finger, 

 with long pinnatifid leaves, covered with sharp
