BORAGINACEAE. 



Halgania lavandulacea, Endl. Waikerie ; Karoonda ; 

 Lameroo ; Pinnaroo (Dist. M). A shrub with very sticky* 

 leaves. //. cycmea, LindL, aim. 1839 (II. strigosa, Schlecht., 

 aim. 1847). Common at Karoonda and Minnipa. 



SOLANACEAE. 



Solatium hystrix, R. Br. Beautiful Valley; Murat Bay. 

 Berry to 3 cm. diameter. The type of this very prickly plant 

 was gathered by Robert Brown on February 4, 1802, at Petrel 

 Bay in the Isle of St. Francis. It appears to be confined to 

 the country near the Great Bight. S. coactiliferum, J. M. 

 Black. Minnipa: Murat Bay: Renmark. The coastal speci- 

 mens have broader, thicker, and more densely tomentose 

 leaves ; pedicels solitary or twin ; flowers all tetramerous, but 

 in the Renmark specimens one of the four corolla-lobes is 

 notched at the summit. Called "koomba" by the natives at 

 Murat Bay. "S. cinereum, R. Br. Roadside near Melrose. 

 Hitherto this New South Wales species has only been recorded 

 from the Greenhill Road, near Adelaide. 



Lycium australe, F. v. M. Bundaleer Hills ; Orroroo 

 <Dist. N). 



Labiatae. 



\V estringia Dampieri, R. Br. I follow Maiden (Trans. 

 Roy. Soc. S.A., xxxii., 267) in merging W. rigida, R. Br., 

 in this species, although I have not found any specimens in 

 South Australia with the leaves in whorls of four, but always 

 in threes. Two very different forms grow on Thevenard Penin- 

 sula. One is a low intricate shrub, with very short leaves 

 (4-6 mm.) and small flowers ; the other form grows close to 

 the sea, and stands about 1 m. high, with erect or spreading 

 Toranches, the leaves 10-20 mm. long, and the corolla about 

 14 mm. long. I have very similar specimens from Kangaroo 

 Island, with some of the leaves 30 mm. long. 



Teucrium sessiliflorum, Benth. Dublin scrub (H. H. D. 

 Griffith ; Dist. A). 



SCROPHULARIACEAE. 



Veronica perer/rina, L. Renmark (Dist. M). In moist 

 spot near river. 



Myoporaceae. 



Myoporum brevipes, Benth. Murat Bay : Coorabie 

 '(Fowler Bay). Professor Ewart says these specimens are 

 "close to, if not identical with M. b?*evipes." They differ 

 from Bent-ham's description in the whole plant densely tuber- 

 culate, pedicels 1-6 in the axil, corolla, slightly hairy inside, 

 <nvary 2-4-celled, and the fruit globular (as in M. par vi folium,
