 a very compact bush, in small colonies generally, on stony

 creeping over shrubs or rocks ; where water had lately flowed 

 the plant was covered in bright-red berries.]

CoMPOsiTAE. — Olearia Ferresii, F. v. M. Everard 

 Range. Viscid and strong-scented even in the dried state.* 

 0. megalod-onta, F. v. M. Everard and Musgrave Ranges. 

 This stiff shrub, with its ray-flowers in 2 rows and its com- 

 pressed achenes, is very near the genus Felicia. The heads 

 vary somewhat in size, the ray-flowers number 35-50, and the- 

 inner flowers about 70. I could find no short outer bristles 

 of the pappus. [Flowers bright-blue.]
