ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 



NO. 9. 



By J. M. Black. 



[Read May 11, 1916.] 



Plates V. to VIII. 



This list is largely the result of three excursions : — 1. Up 

 ~the Murray to Renmark by water, returning by the Faringa- 

 Tailem Bend railway, October, 1915. 2. To Gladstone and 

 Melrose, in the same month. 3. To Murat Bay, via the 

 newly-opened railway from Port Lincoln, November, 1915. 

 Specimens gathered on other occasions, and many forwarded 

 by friendly collectors, have also been taken into account. 



In dealing with the eucalypts I have had the great 

 advantage of consulting Mr. J. H. Maiden, Government 

 Botanist of New South Wales, and the leading authority on

 Botanist of Victoria, has also lent me much kind assistance, 

 -especially in comparing doubtful specimens with those in the 

 great herbarium under his control. 



An asterisk denotes an alien plant more or less estab- 

 lished in our State. 



The contraction "Dist." placed between brackets and 

 followed by a capital letter refers to the botanical districts in

 that the locality mentioned is a neAv record for the district. 



Four new species are described and figured — in the 

 genera Triodia, Trichinium, PorantJiera, and Brachycome — 

 and one new variety.
