met with ; not a common plant ; only attains the height of 

 a few feet; it has a very handsome flower.] E. alterni folia, 

 R. Br. Mount Lyndhuret. [Met with on the stony country.] 



Campanulaceae. 



Isotoma petraea, F. v. M. Innamincka. [Growing 

 amongst the rocks ; the natives say if this plant is held near 

 the face it will affect the eyesight.] 



GOODENIACEAE. 



Scaevola collar is, F. v. M. Lake Perigundi. Fruit about 

 10 mm. long, and the neck or beak surmounting it 7-8 mm. 

 long. [This was the only time it was met with ; large 

 bushes, 2 feet high, covered in fruit.] S. humilis, R. Br. 

 Between Innamincka and Kanowana. Apparently the same 

 form as that collected by Hergolt at Wonnomulla (50 miles 

 west of Lake Torrens) and mentioned by Bentham (Fl. Aust., 

 iv., 100). The hairs at the back of the indusium are white 

 and not as long as the latter. [A common plant along the 

 Strzelecki Creek, growing about a foot in height; a very 

 round and shapely bush.] 



Goodenia cycloptera, R. Br. Kopperamanna : Tinga- 

 tingana. [ This plant was fairly common around Tinga- 

 tingana, but was only seen once afterwards : found close to 

 the creek.] 



COMPOSITAE. 



Angianthus pusillus, var. polyanthus, Benth. East of 

 Mungeranie. Partial heads 4-7-flowered. [Widely distributed 

 over tablelands and flooded country alike.] 



Craspedia pleiocej)kala,'F. v. M. Devils Village, near 

 Mount Lyndhurst ; Mount Hopeless. As in other specimens 

 of this species, it is quite the exception for the compound 

 flower-head to have a second one associated with it at its 

 base. In poor ground the plant may grow not more than 

 5 cm. high, with a single erect stem bearing one compound 

 head, but usually it branches from the base and stands 15-25 

 cm. high. [Growing very thickly in places like a carpet of 

 gold.] C. chrysantha, Benth. Heads globular: Cuttapirie 

 Corner, Cooper Creek. Heads ovoid or oblong: Mungeranie; 

 Ambuginia Creek. [These plants, like the preceding species, 

 give a most pleasing aspect to the country when growing in 

 masses. I am of opinion that the plant bearing the ovoid 

 heads is a distinct variety to that bearing the globular heads. 

 They are found growing in. distinct colonies.] The difficulty 

 about describing a variety of this species (which was not 

 attempted by Bentham) is that all the characters except the
