The scale occurs in the var. pedicellosa (which I have from 

 Burnside, Port Lincoln, Robe, and Kangaroo Island), as well 

 as in the type. 



PlTTOSPORACEAE. 



Billardiera cymosa, F. v. M. Karoonda; Lameroo (Dist. 

 M). Var. sericophora, Benth. Strathalbyn ; Port Lincoln. 



Pittosporum pliillyraeoides, DC. In the dry country 

 north of Murat this is only a shrub, not above 2 m. high, 

 leaves small (2i-5 cm. long), fruit unripe, but much smaller 

 than the unripe fruit gathered about the same date on typical 

 trees at Minnipa. This is doubtless the same form as was 

 found by Captain White in the Everard Range, with hoary 

 pedicels and small leaves. 



Leguminosae. 



Acacia Oswaldii, P. v. M. Minnipa and Chillundie, 

 with lanceolate phyllodia; also at Murat Bay (with oblong- 

 lanceolate phyllodia), where it is known as "Prickly Myall." 

 At Iron Knob it has linear-lanceolate phyllodia, very pun- 

 gent-pointed, and is known as "Dead Finish Myall." Some 

 specimens from the Murray have the pungent point trans- 

 ferred to one corner of the oblique summit of the curved 

 phyllodium, which thus presents a curious cimitar-like appear- 

 ance. A. con tinua, Benth. Moolooloo (Dist. S). A. aneura,. 

 F. v. M. "Mulga." Iron Knob (Wm, C. Newbold). 

 Phyllodia narrow, 4-9 cm. long. This species appears to 

 flower from July to November. A. Burkittii, F. v. M. Iron 

 Knob (Wm. C. Newbold). Flowers July-September; pods 

 (hitherto unknown) become ripe in November. This species, 

 the type of which was collected near Lake Gilles, also occurs 

 near Broken Hill. Mr. J. H. Maiden, at whose instance the 

 pods were obtained, proposes to describe it fully and to 

 illustrate it in his "Forest Flora of New South Wales." A. 

 colletioides, A. Cunn. Dublin scrub (Dist. A; H. H. D. 

 Griffith). A. rigens, A. Cunn. Gawler Ranges (Dist. W; 

 S. A. White). A. rupicola, F. v. M. Morialta Gully; 

 Beetaloo. Specimens from these two places have the phyllodia 

 15-25 mm. long; peduncles only 5-6 mm. long. From Port 

 Lincoln we have typical specimens, with peduncles usually 

 longer than the phyllodia. A. sentis, F. v. M. Marino 

 (Dist. A). A few shrubs, about 2 m. high, on a hillside 

 near the Cement Works, also one shrub on the Henley Beach 

 road. Probably the most southerly habitat of a species which 

 extends north to Oodnadatta and Central Australia. Also 

 Gladstone (Dist. N) ; a few specimens remaining on the road- 

 sides, and flowering vigorously in October, 1914, in spite of 

 the terrible drought of that vear. In Baroota it is a neat.
