 Eraser Range, three to six feet high, without flowers. 



OxYLOBiuM OBT0SIFOLIUM, Stuset. W.A., 85 miles N.E. by E. 

 from Esperance Bay (P. A. Gwynne). Ovules numerous. 



Gastrolobium geandiflorum, F. v. M. W.A., Victoria 

 Desert, C. 53. A shrub three to four feet high. Probably re- 

 presents the smalbflowered state of this species ; fruits not 

 collected. 



Gastrolobium trilobum, BenfJiam. " Kite-leaf poison plant." 

 W.A., near Brood's Station. 



Gastrolobium spinosum, BentlMm. W.A., Victoria Desert,

 (C. 54) ; near Gnarlbine ; about 15 miles W. of Red Hill. 



IsoTROPis juncea, Turcz. W.A., 36 miles N.W. from 

 Southern Cross ; near Lake Deborah. Fruit imperfectly 

 sericeous, when ripe about one inch long to one sixth inch broad, 

 conspicuously compressed, short stipitate ; seeds ripening to tive, 

 oblique, roundish renate, about one-tenth inch long. 



IsoTEOPis CANKSCENS, F. V. M. W.A., Victoria Desert (C. 54)

MiRBELiA MiCEOPiiYLLA, Benthcmi. W. A., 36 miles N.W. 

 from Southern Cross. 



MiEBKLiA APiiYLLA, F. V. M. W.A., near Mount Cluirchman 

 (C. 94). Externally this plant is much like Jacksonia stricta, 

 which species received its name probably through a typographical 

 error, as the ramification is the reverse of strict ; the name in- 

 tended by Meissner was evidently ./. striata, on account of the 

 streaks on the branches ; the phyllode- or spinule-like ultimate 

 branchlets are compressed and mostly (quadrangular, in which 

 respect this Jacksonia is also very similar to Mirbelia apliylla.
