Rhamnacese. 



*Cryptandra phlebophylla, F. v. M. Near Mt. Livingstone, Mr. 

 W. Langley. The only previous record is " Elder's Range, 

 near Lake Torrens." 



Santalacese. 



Santalum lanceolatum, R. Br. " Cattle-bush," " Currant-tree." 

 Aboriginal name, Mandaworra. Ornamental. Good fodder. 

 Blacks eat the fruits. A friend of mine asserts that on a 

 hot summer's day he was driving a flock of sheep in company 

 with a black boy, and met with a tree loaded with ripe fruit. 

 Both ate a large quantity of it and fell asleep. Awaking, 

 they drove the sheep further on, and met with another tree ; 

 ate some more fruit with the same result. My friend is of 

 opinion that the berries contain narcotic properties. 



Santalum acuminatum, De Can. " Peach-tree." Aboriginal 

 name, Nakala. Both Europeans and blacks use the fruits 

 as an article of food. Cattle will greedily eat the foliage, 

 breaking the rather brittle branches off with their horns.

 *Haloragis aspera, Lindl. Fodder.

 lillalee. Blacks eat the fruits.

 Loranthus Quandang, Lindl. Aboriginal name, Yappee 

 mulgatee. These mistletoes are gradually destroying all 

 shrubby vegetation. They are, however, eaten by stock, 

 and the berries are in demand by the natives for food.
