Myoporaceae. 



Pholidia scopcwia, F. v. M. Ooldea. [Growing sparingly 

 in the sandhills.] 



Eremophila Paisleyi, F. v. M. Ooldea. Leaves much 

 broader than the type (6-8 mm.). E. alternifolia, R. Br. 

 Ooldea. [Common shrub, growing on the flats between the 

 sandhills.] E. Goodwinii, F. v. M. Ooldea (Dist. W). 

 Agrees with descriptions, except that the fruit, not quite 

 ripe, is compressed, the hard endocarp winged on the 2 mar- 

 gins, 4-celled but only ripening 1 or 2 seeds, and apparently 

 ready to split into nuts. The fruit may, however, be 

 monstrous, owing to the attack of insects or to some other 

 cause. [A low shrub, occasionally met with on the flats 

 between the sand ridges.] 



Rubiaceae. 

 Portia. r. umbellate '., Sol. Ooldea. 



Goodeniaceae. 



Goodenia strophiolata, F. v. M. (PI. xx.) Ooldea, 

 flowering and fruiting, January, 1917 (S. A. White). First 

 record for South Australia, the type specimens having been 

 collected by Drummond in the country north of East Mount 

 Barren, Western Australia. Diels and Pritzel found it in the 

 Coolgardie District. In our specimens the fruiting pedicels 

 remain erect, and are not reflexed ; the calyx-segments are 

 attached about the middle of the ovary and in fruit appear 

 almost as free sepals; the pedicel is jointed a short distance 

 above the 2 small linear bracteoles; the style is beset with 

 spreading hairs, and I could only find 4 ovules in each ovary 

 examined ; the ovoid capsule, considerably shorter than the 

 calyx, splits into 4 hard, thick valves; seeds 2-3, light yellow, 

 the strophiole large and papillose. [Plentiful in the sandy 

 country round Ooldea, forming a low bush.l 



Dampiera lanceolata, A. Cunn. Ooldea (Dist. W). [To 

 be found over all the sandy country in the district of Ooldea.] 



Compositae. 



Helipterum floribundutn, DC. Ooldea. Pappus-bristles 

 not united in a tube. [Found all through the sandhills.] 



Helichrysum apiculatum, DC. Ooldea. [Plentiful in 

 the sandhill country.] II . bract eat urn, Andr. Ooldea. [Not 

 common in the sandhills.] 



Galotis erinacea, Steetz. Ooldea (Dist. W). Awns of 

 pappus onlv 2 (as in G. ci/mbacantha), but in other respects
