A", oleosa, F. v. M., is apparently the tallest mallee at 

 Minnipa, 5 to 8 m. liigli, the stems and branches white, with 

 rough bark only near the base of the tree. Also at Tooligie, 

 Warramboo, Wudinna, and north of Murat, but not so tall 

 at those places, and often only a small mallee.

 In all the flowers examined the number of ovules was 8-10,. 

 not 2, as stated by Bentham. 



Melaleuca uncinata, R. Br., is numerous along the rail- 

 way from Edilillie to Minnipa. The "Broom-bush" of Eyre 

 Peninsula and the Murray country is either M. uncinata or 

 Baechea Behri, F. v. M., while in the North "Broom-bush"' 

 usually means Templetonia et/ena, Benth. Pholidia scoparia. T 

 R. Br., is also a small erect broomlike shrub growing in dry 

 country, but at Murat it has for some reason obtained the 

 name of "Candle-bush." M. squamea, Labill. Myponga 

 (Dist. A). M. eriri folia, Smith. Torrens Gorge (Dist. A).

 Karoonda. All my sjiecimens, from there and elsewhere, have 

 conspicuous translucent oil-glands on the lower surface of the 

 leaves.

Apocynaceae. 

 Alyxia huri folia, R. Br. This handsome shrub is 

 numerous in the scrub at Minnipa, which is nearly forty 

 miles from the sea, as the crow flies, so that it is not always 

 a maritime plant.
