EUPHORBIACEAE. 



^Euphorbia terracina, L. Moonta. 



Rhamnaceae. 

 Pomaderris ohcordata, Fenzl. Monarto South (Dist. M; 

 E. H. Ising). Dwarf shrub growing in sandy soil about 

 50 cm. high, 



Malvaceae. 

 Flnqianthus microphyUus, F. v. M. Point Pearce 

 Mission 'station, Y.P. (Dist. Y). 



Frankeniaceae. 



Franlx-enia foliosa, J. M. Black. Mr. H. B. Williamson 

 has sent me a sj>ecimen from S^a Lake, N.W. Victoria, 

 collected by the Rev, W. W. Watts. It has leaves more 

 closely revolute on the margins, and therefore not so broad as 

 in specimens from our northern districts, 



Myrtaceae. 



Eucali/])ti(s Morn'sii, R. T. Baker. On the label of some 

 further specimens from Mount Patawurta, near Moolooloo, 

 Mr, E, H. Ising describes this plant as a shrub 2 m. high. 



Melaleuca ci/lindrica, R, Br, Bentham (Fl. Aust. iii., 

 146) describes M. armillaris, Sm., and after quoting localities 

 in New South Wales and Victoria, has the following : — 



"S. Australia. Kangaroo Island, R. Broivn. Var. 

 (1) feniii folia. Leaves semiterete, very narrow, under ^ in. 

 long. Flowers smaller. — J/. c//li?idrlca, R. Br. Herb. — 

 Dunk River, R. Broirn, jDerhaps a distinct species." 



Guided apparently by this statement, Tate (Fl, extra- 

 trop. S,A,, 93 and 231) records M. cplindrica for Kangaroo 

 Island, but there is no corresponding specimen in the Tate 

 Herbarium. Prof. Ewart kindly lent me one of Brown's 

 original specimens from the British Museum labelled ''Mela- 

 leuca cf/lindrica, R. Br. fM. armillaris, Sm. var. {1)teJiui- 

 folia, Benth.) No. 4702. Duck River." "Dunk River" is, 

 therefore, apparently a mistake of transcription. There is no 

 "Duck" or "Dunk River" on Kangaroo Island, or, as far as 

 the officials of the Land Office are aware, anywhere in South 

 Australia, Mr. J, H. Maiden believes the locality intended 

 to be Duck River, near Paramatta, where M. armillaris is 

 common. M. ci/lindrica should therefore, as far as our pre- 

 sent knowledge goes, be deleted from the flora of this State. 

 It may be added that an examination of the type of M.
