Plants Collected in Capricornic Western Australia. 55 



Solanum phlomoides, Cunningham. 



Nicotiana suaveolens, Lehmann. A minute variety. 



Mimulus gracilis, R. Brown. Mr. St. Carey found this 

 also on the Lyndon- River ; the allied M. prostratus we- 

 have now also from near Everard-Range (Giles), the Wim- 

 mera (D'Alton) and Dandenong (Walter). 



Stemodia grossa, Bentham. 



Stemodia viscosa, Roxburgh. A form with much elon-^ 

 gated pedicels. 



Buechnera parviflora, R. Brown. 



Pollichia Zeilanica, F. v. M. 



Heliotropium undulatum, Yahl. This occurs also on- 

 the Finke-River, according to collections from the Rev. H, 

 Kempe. 



Clerodendrum lanceolatum, F. v. M. 



Chloanthes paniculata, F. v. M. 



Eremophila maculata, F. v. M. 



Eremophila Forresti, F. v. M. 



Eremophila leucophylla, F. v. M. 



Eremophila Fi-aseri, F. v. M. Both varieties gathered 

 of this species, the one with short roundish leaves and the 

 other with elongated lanceolar leaves ; the first mentioned is 

 easily mistaken for E. rotundifolia. 



Cyperus ixiocarpus. Stem cylindrical, finely streaked- 

 furrowed, smooth ; floral leaves three or four, the two- 

 longest of these generally much surpassing the inflorescence, 

 channelled towards the base, thence upwards compressed- 

 cylindrical and gradually much attenuated, smooth, one or 

 two of the floral leaves very abbreviated ; primary peduncles 

 several, almost umbellate, unequal in length, smooth, not 

 prominently angular; secondary peduncles almost umbel- 

 lately crowded, very thin, each supported by a diminutive, 

 narrow, bract-like leaf; spikelets almost sessile, corymbous- 

 umbellulate, with a linear-lanceolate one-nerved glume- 

 like bract at the base, generally but few of the spikelets in 

 each of the umbellules; racheoles flexuous, simply angular,, 

 not or scarcely membranously dilated, bearing six to thirteen 

 florets, the latter somewhat remote from each other, the two^ 

 or three uppermost sterile ; glumes (floral biacts) pale- 

 brownish, almost cymbiform-ovate, mucronulate, strongly 

 five- to seven-nerved, the middle nerve keel-like ; stigmas 

 three, about as long as the style; fruits obovate-trigonous, 

 black, shining, viscid, apiculate, somewhat more than half as 

 long as the glumes.
