Most of these species have been observed for from two to four 

 years, and it is an interesting conjecture as to whether they will be- 

 come permanent members of our flora or soon disappear. Some of 

 them are already well established in many localities, such as 

 Salsola pestifer, Verbena bracteosa and Grand- 

 e 1 i a squarrosa, which are fast becoming obnoxious weeds in 

 many places.
