folia, bracteolis ovatis concavis caducis, calycis tubo ovato 

 3 mm. longo deorsum valde co?npresso sursum turgido, lobis 

 latis obtusis alb is 1 mm. longis petala alba orbicularia fere 

 aequantibus, staminibus 5 lobis calycis oppositis, filameritis 

 incurvis in glandulam conspicuam locidos antherae super- 

 antem productis, ovidis 2 placentae laterali juxta basin 

 affixis. 



On the East-West Railway, 60 miles north-west of Port 

 Augusta; budding and flowering in January, 1917 (S. A. 

 White). In foliage near T. (Micromyrtus) stenocalyx, 

 F. v. M., and T. (Micromyrtus) flavi flora, F. v. M., but 

 differs in the larger calyx-lobes, the broad, flattened tube, the 

 number and position of stamens, etc. The new species is 

 dedicated to Mrs. S. A. White, in recognition of her services 

 to botanical research, when she accompanied her husband on 

 a camel excursion through Central Australia in 1913, and 

 rendered able assistance in collecting and preparing specimens. 

 /[This low heath-like plant was found growing amongst the 

 stones on the tableland country, attaining the height of 10 

 or 12 inches ; was not met with in the sandy country.] 



Eucalyptus uncinata, Turcz. Ooldea (Dist. W). Young 

 leaves very glaucous. [Growing on the flats between . the 

 sand ridges.] E. incrassata, Labill. Ooldea. A form 

 resembling those found at Murat Bay and Renmark, with 

 almost smooth fruits, 8-10 mm. long. [Isolated bunches 

 found in the sandhills.] 



Leptosptrmum laevigatirm, var. minus, F. v. M. Sand- 

 hills near Ooldea. These specimens are remarkable for hav- 

 ing the whole calyx covered with appressed-silky hairs (much 

 as in L. lanigerum), but in the ripening fruit the lobes fall 

 off and the calyx-tube becomes quite glabrous, which is the 

 normal condition in more southern forms ; cells 6-8, summit 

 of capsule much exserted and convex ; leaves lanceolate- 

 cuneate, 15-25 mm. long. Similar specimens are in the Tate 

 Herbarium from 60 miles north of Point Bell, a position 

 which would be about 100 miles south-east of Ooldea. [Quite 

 plentiful all through the sandhills ; growing into large bushes, 

 15 feet tall.] 



Apocynaceae. 

 Alyxia buxifolia, R. Br. Ooldea (Dist. W). [Large 

 bushes found all over the sandhill country.] 



CONVOL VULACEAE . 



(■onvolvulus erubescens, Sims. Sixty miles along East- 

 West Railway. [A common plant on the tablelands, creeping 

 over low bushes.]
