The census of the plants of Yorke-Peninsula is, at present, as 

 follows : — 



Northern Section : — Total species, 421. Restricted species, 230. 



Southern Section:— " " 232. " " 41. 



Species in common, 191. 



The majority of the restricted species in the Southern section 

 belongs to the flora characteristic of much of the west and mid- 

 portions of the southern coast of Australia, as indeed the whole 

 flora bears this complexion, which is in no small measure due to 

 the richness in sea-coast-species. So far as South Australia is 

 concerned, the florula of South Yorke-Peninsula has a strong 

 resemblance to that of Kangaroo Island and South Eyre-Penin- 

 sula ; of the species constituting this common facies the following 

 are noteworthy : — 



Kangaroo Id. S. Eyre-Peninsula. 

 Hibbertia Billardieri 

 Lepidium foliosum 

 Lasiopetalum Schulzenii 

 Polycnemon pentandrum 

 Templetonia retusa 

 Pultena^a acerosa ... 

 Goodia medicaginea 

 Acacia anceps 



rupicola ... 

 retinodes ... 

 Melaleuca decussata 

 Eucalyptus santalifolia 

 goniocalyx 

 Ixodia achilleoides 

 Ixiola^na supina ... 

 Cassinia spectabilis 

 Toxanthus Muelleri 

 Angianthus pleuropapj)us .. 

 Skirrophorus Preissianus 

 Helipterum obtusifolium, var 

 Isotoma scapigera 

 Logania crassifolia 

 Veronica distans ... 

 Leptocarpus Brownii 

 Schoenus nitens 

 Stipa teretif olia ... 



In this connection, I may add that a land-snail, Bulimus 

 llastersi, Avhich has been known only from Port Lincoln to 

 Eucla, occurs all over South Yorke-Peninsula. Though the facies 

 of the florula recalls those of Kangaroo Island and the Port 



tephrodes
