Labiatae. 



Teucrium racernosum, R. Br. Murteree : Cuttapirie 

 Corner. Var. tripartitum, F. v. M. Tinga-tingana. Our 

 specimens of the variety are small, erect plants about 12 cm. 

 high, with the 3 leaflets quite distinct in most cases, and this 

 triioliolate system extending to the summit of the raceme. 

 [This bluish-grey plant was met with on the Strzelecki Creek 

 in one place only, and on Cooper Creek it stood 12 to 18 

 inches high.] 



Mentha australis, R. Br. Murteree. [Found growing in 

 and near water.] 



SOLANACEAE. 



Sola niivi lacunarium, F. v. M. Mount Lvndhurst. A 

 small slender plant scarcely 10 cm. high, conspicuous by its 

 bright orange-red spines. S. oligacanthum , F. v. M. 

 Kanowana ; Cuttapirie Corner : Carraweena. Many of the 

 leaves have a single prickle on the upper face. [Did not meet 

 with this plant in any quantity till we were well down on the 

 Cooper ; one odd plant was seen at Carraweena.] 



Nicotiana suaveolens, Lehm. Mount Lyndhurst. Small 

 plants flowering when only 6-10 cm. high ; corolla 15 mm. 

 long. [Met with in many localities, mostly on flooded ground 

 near creeks; this seems to be a very stunted form.] 



SCROPHULARIACEAE. 



Morgania fioribunda, Benth. Lake Blanche. 



Myoporaceae. 



Myoporum refract am, Maiden et Betche. Mount Hope- 

 less. Corolla with a few scattered hairs inside, thus con- 

 firming Max Koch's observation (Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Austr., 

 xxii., 76). The calyx-lobes, very broad and subcordate at 

 base, vary from 4 to 5 in number, the corolla-lobes from 4 

 to 8, and the stamens from 4 to 5. [Large bushes up to 

 3 feet high were met with on the stonv tablelands and some- 

 times on the banks of dry watercourses.] 



Eremophila Freelingii, F. v. M. Petermorra Spring; 

 Devils Village, near Mount Lyndhurst. [Bushes much broken 

 down by stock were met with in the broken country.] E. 

 maculata, F. v. M. Strzelecki Creek, south-west of Inna- 

 mincka ; Murteree. [This species seems to be relished by 

 stock ; many bushes were laden with large green fruit.] E . 

 longifolia, F. v. M. Murteree. [Many of these shrubs were 

 growing along the Strzelecki Creek, but they were much 

 broken down by stock.] E. MacDonneUii, F. v. M. Koppera- 

 manna : Kanowana. [This is one of the smallest of the species
