Paqucrina, and appears nearest to B. angusti folia, A. Cunn.,. 

 but lias three-nerved leaves with a few long sharp teeth or 

 lobes and ribbed achenes. 



Senecio magnifieMs , F. v. M. Pinnaroo : Karoonda (Dist 

 M) : Oodnadatta ; Everard Range (Dist. C). S. brachy- 

 glossus, F. v. M. At Renmark is a form with involucres 

 7-8 mm. long, of about 12 bracts : outer female flowers about 

 10, with a very short ligule not exceeding the style-branches ; 

 inner bisexual flowers 20-25. The heads correspond fairly 

 with var. major, Benth., but the Renmark specimens are- 

 slender, few-flowered, with leaves nearly entire, and onlv 

 about 12 cm. high. 



*Centaurea melitensis, L. 'Maltese Cockspur." Yaninee. 



*Hedypnois cretica, Willd., is found at Gladstone in the- 

 form with glabrous involucral bracts and long diffuse stems. 

 Moolooloo, ordinary form (S. A. White). 



*Crypostemma calendulaceum, R. Br. "Cape Dande- 

 lion." Forming great yellow patches on -the slopes of Mount 

 Remarkable in October. 



*Cardv.us tenuiflorus, Curt. To the localities alr?adv 

 given must be added Melrose, Robe, and Kangaroo Island. 



* Lactuca saligna, L. "Willow Lettuce." Murray Bridge 

 as a new locality. 



*$onch?ts maritimus, L. Henley Beach: Glenelg : Port 

 Noarlunga ; Port Elliot: Robe; Port MacDonnell. I don't 

 know whether it is found on the seacoast north cf Adelaide. 

 Probably the plant referred to by Bentham in Fl. Aust., iii., 

 680, as a maritime variety of S. oleraceus, L., which it 

 resembles in the achenes. In the Nat. Fl. of S.A. I called it 

 var. liitoralis of S. asper, but was not then aware that it was 

 perennial, with long slender subterranean stolons penetrating 

 the sand and forming new plants. In the South Australian 

 specimens the leaves vary from almost entire, with small 

 auricles, to sinuate-pinnatifid with large rounded auricles, 

 and the achenes have usually 3-5 longitudinal ribs, the middle- 

 one most prominent, but with few or no transverse rugosities,. 

 which are also obsolescent in some Mediterranean forms.. 

 Our plant varies in height from 30 to 60 cm., and is often 

 course and stout, the leaves bordered by spiny teeth. As this 

 species is not mentioned by the early navigating botanists of 

 Australia, it is very probably, like Gakile maritima, an intro- 

 duction which has spread rapidly along our coasts. F. M. 

 Bailey records the occurrence of S. maritimus in Queensland. 

 *S. asper, TToffm. Grows to a large size in Campbell Creek, 

 Melrose. 



* Chrysanthemum coronarium, L. As a garden escape at 

 Berri.
