very conspicuous on account of its bright-red colour ; supposed 

 to be poisonous and to kill stock.] E. eremophila, Cunn. 

 Moorilyanna Waterhole. 



Sapindaceae. — Dodonaea microzyga, F. v. M. Indul- 

 kana Springs. [Only seen in this locality ; grov/ing amongst 

 the rocks.] D. viscosa, L, Mount Illbillie ; Indulkana 

 Springs; Glen Ferdinand and between Moorilyanna Native 

 Well and Everard Range. Foliage and fruits very sticky; 

 style 10-12 mm. long and persistent on many of the fruits^ 

 even when half-ripe. [A very marked feature of the vegeta- 

 tion growing amongst the granite rocks. Some of the bushes 

 w^ere very wide-spreading, the leaves were of a bright-green 

 with a varnish-like coating, which made them glisten in the 

 sun.] 



Malvaceae. — Malvasfrum spicatum, A. Gray. Ninety 

 miles west of Todmorden Station. Sida petrophila, F. v. M. 

 Moorilyanna Native Well. Hibiscus Pinonianus, Gaud. 

 Everard Range. Only the upper leaves are present, and 

 these are tripartite, as are those of some specimens from Bar- 

 row Range, Western Australia, in the Tate Herbarium. H. 

 Farragei, F. v. M. Mount Illbillie. In fruit only ; the seeds 

 glabrous and slightly wrinkled. [A few large plants were 

 growing amongst the tobacco plants close to the granite 

 rocks.] Abufilon tuhidosiim, Hook. Everard Range. 

 [Rather a striking plant, with large yellow flowers; only 

 found growing in the ranges, and not common.] 



Sterculiaceae. — Ruelmgia magni flora, F. v. M. Mount 

 Illbillie and Everard Range. [This is a most beautiful plant, 

 growing in great masses up to 4 feet high, and covered in 

 dark-red blossoms; plentiful in the Everard Range, growing 

 on the shaded (south) sides of the great masses of granite.] 



Dilleniaceae. — Hihhertia glaherrima, F. v. M. Mount 

 Illbillie and other parts of the Everard Range. Our speci- 

 mens agree with those similarly named from the Everard 

 Range (Helms) and Mount Olga (Giles) in the Tate Her- 

 barium, but in tlie flowers examined I only found 90-130 

 stamens and no staminodia. The leaves are 5-12 cm. long, 

 and therefore much longer than in the descriptions of either 

 Mueller or Bentham. 



Frankeniaceae. — Frankenia pnuciflora, DC. Betw^een 

 Everard Range and Wantapella Swamp. [Not a common 

 plant; generally found on the stony sides of hills or on the 

 tablelands.] Var. serpyllifolia, Benth. East of Everard 

 Range. [Only met with in one place.] 



Myrtaceae. — Thryptomene Maisonneuvii, F. v. M. 

 Sand ridges on Officer Creek. [This beautiful little shrub was 

 in full blossom; it seems confined to the sandhill country.]
