1190 E'ivart and Tovey : 



In Mueller's Second Census, the foregoing species are reduced 

 to two, but as they are all readily distinguished from one another 

 they must be kept separate. 



Agrostis lachnantha, Nees. (Gramineae). 



Dookie, Victoria, W. D. Wilson, February, 1911. Canterbury 

 .and Mitchani, Victoria, R. Ardagh, December, 1918. 



Ihis useful pasture grass, a native of South Africa, is now 

 apparently establishing itself as a naturalised alien in Victoria. 



AizooN ZYGOPHYLLOIDES, F. V. M. (Aizoaceae). 



This species was recorded in the Victorian Naturalist, Vol. 

 XVII. , p. 203 (1901), as being new for Victoria. This was evi- 

 ^dently an error, as the specimens from Corio Bay, Geelong, Jan., 

 1901, on which the record was founded, proved on examination to 

 be Mesembryanthemum angulatum, Thunb. , a native of South 

 Africa, which has been recorded as an introduction at Coode Island, 

 in Victoria. (Collected by J. R. Tovey, 1908.) Aizoon zygophyl- 

 loides is only found in West and South Australia, New South Wales 

 and Queensland. 



Alhagi camelorum, Fisch. " Camel Thorn " (Leguminosae). 



Tongala Irrigation District, Victoria. E. Kendall, 13/1/1920. 



This plant, a native of Central Asia and the Orient, Avas pre- 

 viously recorded as growing wild in Victoria from the North- 

 rcastern district. It is now evidently spreading westward. 



Amaranthus deflkxus, L. (Amarantaceae). 



Elwood, Victoria, E. J. Semmens, November, 1917. 



Another locality in Victoria for this weed. It is a native of 

 Europe, and is now apparently in the process of naturalisation in 

 :this State. 



Akundo Phragmites, L. (Phragmites communis., Trin.) 

 "Common Reed." (Gcamineae). 



Daly River, Northern Territory, May, 1919. 



Probably fairly common in the Northern Territory, but only 

 previously recorded from Port Darwin, M. Holtze, 1889. It may 

 possibly in some cases be included under the name Arundo Rox- 

 burghii, F. v. M. The plant is used for thatching hay ricks and 

 ?8heds in Victoria. It has a certain fodder value when young, 

 :iand mav have other economic uses.
