KoKLERiA PHLEOIDKS, var. AZOKENSis, Doiiiin. (Grainiiieae). 



St. Eloy D'Alton, Dimboola, 1917. 



A depauperate specimen of a variety recently described, not 

 previously recorded from Victoria, and probably introduced. The 

 variety differs from the type in having hairy glumes, and being 

 more stuntied in all respects. The grass was identified by Pro- 

 fessor Hitchcock, Agrostologist to the United States of America. 



Lepidium rotundum, D.C. (Ciuciferae). *' Veined Pepperwort " 

 (Lepidium phlebopetalum, F. v. M.). 



LoRANTHUS MiRACULOSUS, Mlq. (Loranthaceae). 



Bentham gives this as L. pendulus, var. parviflora, but Mr. 

 Maiden, in the Census of New South Wales Plants, 1916, raises it 

 to specific rank. Although the differences from L. pendulus are 

 not very great (smaller leaves and flowers and the latter often 

 4-partite, etc.), the plant seems to form a constant and well 

 marked type, with a facies distinct from L. pendulus. Miquel, in 

 Plantae Preissianae, I., p. 281, 1844-5, quotes a species. No. 6, 

 under a manuscript name of Lehmanns', as L. Melaleucae, which 

 is the same as the following species, No. 7, L. miraculosus, and 

 strict priority rule requires that the earlier name should stand. 

 Lehmann, as editor of the work, presumably consented to the 

 publication of the M.S. name, but as the whole article on Loran- 

 thaceae is by Miquel, it would seem to be more appropriate to 

 retain his own name for the species, namely, L. miraculosus. 



Martynia fragrans, Lindl. (Pedalineae). "Fragant Martynia." 



Yalca, J. McKenzie, Esq., April, 1918. Probably a garden 

 •escape. Ihis is its first appearance in Victoria as growing wild. 



Myriophyllum propinquum, a. Cunn. (1839), is replaced by 

 Myriophyllum intermedum, D.O. (1828), the older name. 



Olearia GLUTINOSA, Benth. (Compositae). " Swamp Aster." 



llie question has been raised as to whether the varieties 

 <jlutescens and oraria, which were raised to specific rank by F. v.
