*Erysimuin brevipes, F. v. M. 



^Erysimum Blennodia, F. v. M. 



"^Sisymbrium trisectum, F. v. M. I note three forms here. My 

 No. 221, with white flowers and linear-filiform leaves, is 

 probably the typical form. No. 325 resembles very much 

 the above, but has pale-yellow flowers, and being generally 

 found in the presence of S. nasturtioides, it may be a hybrid. 

 No. 328. The foliage of this form is denser, the leaves are 

 broader, somewhat thick and succulent, and the racemes 

 more robust. The flowers of this form are always at the 

 top end of the stalk, which gradually grows longer as the 

 flowering proceeds; while in Nos. 221 and 325 the flowering 

 begins at the bottom end of the raceme, which only shows 

 buds at the top-end. 



^Sisymbrium nasturtioides, F. v. M. '' Mustard-bush."

*Stenopetalum lineare, R. Brown. Aboriginal name, Warcoontoo. 

 An article of food for the natives. 



*Alyssum minimum, Pallas. 



*Menkea australis, Lehm. 

 Menkea australis, Lehm. My No. 326 is a variety differing 

 from the typical form by the paucity of foliage. It is quite 

 prostrate, racemes are filiform, flowers white, more minute 

 than with M. australis, and the fruits somewhat narrower 

 at the apex, and slightly wrinkled. 

 Capsella cochlearina, F. v. M. 

 Capsella ochrantha, F. v. M. 



*Lepidium phlebopetalum, F v. M. " Cress." 



*Lepidium papillosum, F. v. M. " Cress." Aboriginal name^ 

 Nalaka. The seeds are eaten by the natives. 



*Lepidium ruderale, Linne. Three forms are noticed here. My 

 No. 272 is a stout herb, with radical, deeply-lobed glabrous 

 leaves, flowers in short corymbose racemes, pods half-line 

 long. No. 324. Leaves glabrous and lobed, flowers in long 

 racemes, pods half-line long. No. 388. Stems and leaves 

 slightly hairy, lower leaves lobed, upper ones entire, pods
