curvo cylindrico. Yeelanna (T. G. B. Osborn, November r 

 1915). Specimens apparently from Ardrossan (J. G. O. 

 Topper, November, 1879) are in the Tate Herbarium, placed 

 under P. micropkylla, which the new species resembles con- 

 siderably in habit. It is removed from all other species by 

 its trimerous flowers, and styles merely notched at the summit, 

 but it has the anthers and other characters of P oranth era y 

 and it seems better to place it there and widen the generic 

 definition rather than invent a new genus for its reception. 

 In several Euphorbiaceous genera there is considerable lati- 

 tude allowed in the number of floral parts.

Trymalium Wayii, F. v. M. et Tate. The localities- 

 for this beautiful little shrub, which is peculiar to our State, 

 are : — Gorge of the Onkaparinga, above Noarlunga (where the 

 type was collected by Tate about 1881) ; south bank of Torrens- 

 River, about half-a-mile above the weir ; Rocky River, near 

 Narridy, and Barunga Range (S. Dixon); near Gladstone; 

 Kingscote, Kangaroo Island (H. H. D. Griffith). It appears 

 always to grow near water.

Spyridtum subochreatum , Reiss. Typical specimens of 

 this shrub grow at Karoonda, with stipules half as long as
