Benth.) not oblong. A small erect shrub, about 50 cm 

 high : corolla white, somewhat two-lipped, with pink spots on 

 the lower lip; leaves 6-18 mm. long. Also Murray Bridge 

 (H. H. D. Griffith"), with smaller leaves and less tubcrculate. 



Pholidia Weldii, F. v. M. Minnipa : Murat Bay and 

 north thereof: Kingscote, K.I. (Dist. K: H. W. Andrew). 

 The Kangaroo Island and Murat specimens have smaller 

 leaves than those gathered at Minnipa : all are strongly tuber- 

 culate on leaves and branches. In the fresh flower there is 

 a deep impression or hollow in the broad, almost reduplicate 

 lowest lobe of the corolla. Near Murat the shrub is slightly 

 above 1 m. high. 77/ . Behriana, F. v. M. Specimens from 

 Cummins and Yeelanna have the upper leaves conspicuously 

 ciliate and the lower ones are sometimes 25 mm. long. Ph. 

 crassifolia, F. v. M. Murray Bridge: Lameroo (Dist. M) : 

 AVarramboo : Minnipa. 



Eremophila rotundifolia , F. v. M. Tarcoola (Dist. Wr

Rubiaceae. 



^Galium Aparine, L., var. minor, DC. Woolshed Flat,. 

 near Quorn (Miss J. Mills) ; Campbell Creek, Melrose. This 

 clinging plant, called in England '"Cleavers," was recorded 

 from Mount Gambier by Bentham in 1866. *G. mitrale, DC. 

 This little alien, which seems to have great facility in distri- 

 buting its seeds, was found fruiting in the scrub at Minnipa 

 in November. 



GOODENIACEAE. 



Dampiera strict a, R. Br. Myponga (Dist. A). D .. 

 lanceolata, Cunn. Longwood (Dist. A); Minnipa (Dist. L). 



Goodenia glauca, F. v. M. I have this species from Ren- 

 mark, Gladstone, Arkaringa, and Broken Hill, and always 

 var. sericea, Benth. The indusium, although glabrous on the 

 outer face, is appressed -silky on the inner and the style is 

 hairy. G. pit silli flora, F. v. M. Brighton, Dublin (Dist. 

 A);*Halbury, Gladstone, Telowie Gorge (Dist. N). 



Scar r<>: a spinescens, R. Br. Minnipa (Dist. L). S. 

 a, nulla. R. Br. (Dist. N) and S. hiimilis, R. Br., both grow 

 at Gladstone. These two species are certainly rather difficult 

 to distinguish and it might be better, as Bentham suggests, 

 to treat humilis as a variety only. S. aemuld has longer and 

 less prominently toothed leaves, a soft pubescence which may 

 almost wear off through age, and usually longer spikes and 

 corollas. It is a larger plant and has a wide range throughout
