 Lotus australis, A7idretvs, var. Behrianus. A variety with 

 white flowers has been noticed here. " Poison- weed. " Mr. 

 H. L. Hughes, an experienced man with sfcock, informs me 

 that this weed is very dangerous to sheep, especially when 

 in fruit. It affects sheep most when they partake of it in 

 quantities on an empty stomach, or when they are kept in a 

 yard after feeding freely of the herb. The symptoms are a 

 drooping of the ears of the sheep, which soon become drowsy 

 and stupid ; their stomachs are getting distended, and at 

 last they lie down and die. Sheep, when grazing in a 

 paddock, rarely die from the herb, because they feed on 

 other herbage as well. In the event of a flock being driven 

 over a patch where the herb grows thickly, the best plan is 

 to take them from it, and to let them go. Do not yard them 

 under any circumstances, and should symptoms of poisoning 

 appear after yarding, turn the sheep out on feed as quickly 

 as possible. Bleeding will often save a sheep.
