which were growing in the same damp ground. R. bidens, 

 R. Br. Drains at Millioent; Lake Edward. 



Chenopodiaceae. 



A triplex angulatum, Benth. Willochra Creek, near 

 Quorn. Perianth appears quite distinct from that of A. cam- 

 panulatum, Benth., although the two species were united by 

 Mueller. This is the first time I have seen this plant. The 

 specimen was collected on the Willochra Creek by Mr. V osier, 

 the Calif ornian parasitologist who visited this country in 

 March, 1918. 



*A. patulum, L. "Common Orache." Outer Harbour, 

 close to sea arid inland from Henley Beach, fruiting perianth 

 submuricate ; ballast dump, Port Adelaide, perianth smooth 

 (H. W. Andrew). First record for South Australia. — A 

 common and very variable weed of the Old World. 



Cheno podium glaucum, L. A form with small leaves 

 (mostly 5-10 mm. long) and succulent red stems, is numerous 

 on the bed of Lake Ormerod, near Naracoorte, when the water 

 recedes. 



PORTULACACEAE. 



Anacampseros australiana, J. M. Black. On February 2, 

 1918, a plant of this species, cultivated in my garden, opened 

 its flowers for the first time in my experience, the 5 very pale 

 pink concave petals almost erect and as long as the sepals; 

 stamens 8. The flowering state in which the calyx scarcely 

 opens and the petals are much shorter than the sepals, and on 

 which the description was founded, is therefore not constant, 

 although it appears to be the normal one. 



Claytonia australasica, Hook. f. Swamps at Murray 

 Bridge (Dist. M) ; Dismal Swamp. 



CAR YOPHYLLACE AE . 



*Moenchia erect a, (L.) G-aertn. Between Glencoe and 

 Lake Edward. A small weed of Central and Southern Europe. 

 First record for South Australia ; recorded for Victoria (as 

 C erastium quaternellum) in 1893. 



*Silene conica, L. Millioent, roadsides and fields. 

 Already recorded for Robe in 1911. 



Cruciferae. 



Cardamine tenui folia, Hook. Dismal Swamp. Growing 

 in water ; stems weak. This plant, with its large white petals, 

 leaves all with linear lobes and pod terminating in a style 

 2 mm. long, is so distinct in appearance from C. hirsuta, L., 

 that I prefer to follow Bentham in keeping it a separate species. 

 Not previously recorded in South Australia.
