*Trifolium resupinatum, L. ''Reversed Clover." Stock- 

 yards at Mount Gambier ; roadside between Mount Gambier 

 and Glencoe ; common at Millicent. First record for South 

 Australia, although listed for Victoria by Mueller in 1887. 

 It is rather conspicuous by its b'right pink flowers, and in its 

 woolliness bears considerable resemblance to T. tomentosum 

 and T. fragiferum. The former is also common in the South- 

 east. *T. in carnation, L. "Crimson Clover." Between Mount 

 Gambier and Glencoe. 



*Medicago orbicularis, All. Field near Collinswood 

 (H. W. Andrew). This flat-podded medic has not previously 

 been noticed in S.A., but was recorded for Victoria in 1907. — 

 Mediterranean region. " X "J/. lupulina, L. "Black Medic." 

 Very common in moist place near Millicent. *M . hispida, 

 Gaertn., var. inermis, Urb. (M. reticulata, Benth.). Border- 

 town. Var. lappacca. Millicent. Pod black and larger than 

 in var. deniiculata, Urb. (M . dcnticulata, Willd.). 



*Cytisus canariensis, L. "Canary Broom." Established 

 in fields and roadsides near Mount Gambier 



Geraniaceae. 



Pelargonium Rodneyanum, Lindl. Naracoorte; Border- 

 town ; Keith. Petals pink, streaked with crimson. P. australe, 

 Willd., var. erodioides, Benth. Beachport; Caroline Scrub; 

 Dismal Swamp. 



^Geranium mo/lc, L. This delicate little plant, rare near 

 Adelaide, is common in the moister climate of Mount Gambier. 



EUPHORBIACEAE. 



Beyeria uiscosa, (Labill.) Miq., and B. opaca, F. v. M. 

 Tate, in his Flora, gives B. viscosa for the Adelaide district, 

 and in another place (although T have lost the reference) he 

 says, "Mount Lofty Range, near water." His herbarium, 

 however, contains no typical specimens of that species. 

 Bentham (Fl. Aust., vi., 65) gives only B. opaca for South 

 Australia. Mueller, in Fragm., i., 230 (1859), united B. opaca 

 with B. viscosa, but later on he changed his opinion, and they 

 remain distinct in his 1st and 2nd Census. Bentham dis- 

 tinguished B. opaca chiefly by its smaller leaves, and laid little 

 stress on the length of the pedicel or the shape of the fruit. 

 In his key to the system of Victorian plants (1887-8) Mueller 

 divided the species as follows : — 



Leaves oval or elliptical-lanceolate; stalkeis much 



longer than calyx; fruit comparatively large ... B. viscosa 



Leaves broad-linear, blunt; stalklets about as long as 



the calyx; fruit comparatively small 7?. opaca 



Unfortunately many South Australian specimens, especially 

 from Robe and Beachport, in the South-east, have leaves
