Zygophyllum hybridum, Tate, 1899. 
A diffuse annual. Leaflets obliquely oblong, entire ; petiole 
somewhat flattened, longer or twice as long as the blade. 
Flowers yellow, relatively small, pentamerous, the petals not 
6mm. Stamens ten, the filaments shortly winged. Capsules 
on erect stalks exceeding the leaves, often violet-coloured; oblong, 
about 10 mms. long, with five blunt angles; seeds from four to 
six in a cell, compressed, pyriform in peripheral outline, dark- 
brown; funiculus affixed at the upper one-third or to near middle 
of seed, thence decurrent to near the rounded end. The decur- 
rent funiculus occupies a medial furrow, and is conspicuous 
therein as a white raisedline. (This feature is also exhibited by 
Kochit and iodocarpum ). 
Mount Lyndhurst Run, Far North; ‘“ grows on loose loamy 
soil, hence is seen at its best only in very wet seasons” (Mr. M. 
Koch) ; also Cootanoorina (Elder Exped. as 7. glawcescens, var.).. 
This new species has many characters in common with Kochzz, 
but more particularly differs by its more oblong capsule, and the 
interspaces between the angles only shallow-concave, so that the 
angles appear blunt, though actually sharp-edged. It may be 
confounded with iodocarpwm, which has, however, a globulose 
fruit on very short pendulous peduncles. 
Zygophyllum Kochii, 7ate, 1899. 
A diffuse annual. Leaflets oblong-cuneate, a little longer than 
the somewhat flattened petiole, irregularly two- or three-crenate 
(as in Z. crenatum). Flowers yellow, relatively small, pentamer- 
ous, the petals not 8 mm. long. Stamens ten, the filaments. 
shortly and broadly winged. Capsules on pendulous stalks 
longer than the petioles, but not exceeding the leaves ; quad- 
rately-oblong to oval-oblong in outline, about 10 mm, diameter, 
acutely five-angled, a deep acute sinus between the angles, but 
not winged. Seeds usually four in each cell. 
Near Mount Fitton and Trinity Well (Mr. J. Langley). 
This species resembles 7. crenatum in several particulars, but 
differs markedly by its pentamerous flowers and deep acute sinus 
between the angles of the capsule. 
Eriocaulon submersum, Tate, 1899. 
Dwarfish, stem undivided ; leaves all radical, densely tufted, 
lanceolate acute-pointed, varying from 20 to 50 mm. long; 
average examples about six times as long as wide, erect; the 
cells of the leaves very conspicuous. 
Flower-heads ovoid, rarely attaining to more than 5 mm. wide 
and 4 mm. long, on a scape slightly exceeding the leaves. 
Bracts orbicular-oval, concave, relatively large, about 2 mm. 
long, yellow and shining.
