A . halimoides, Lindl., var. cond u pUcat um, F. v. M. et 

 Tate. Marree. Fruiting bracteoles 2-edged in the connate 

 portion then forming 2 spreading erect wings. 



A . campamdatum, Bemth. Yunta. Nov. var. adnatum.

 affixis sed etiam usque ad apicem bracteolae anticae adnatis. 

 — -^ear Lyndhurst Railway Station; Marree. 



Kochia humillima, F. v. M. Carrieton (Dist. N). A 

 very puzzling form of Kochia was found at Leigh Creek, with 

 the minute, soft leaves of K. pyramid Vita, but with the 

 broad, flat-topped fruit of K . villosa. 



Osteocarpum acropterum, F. v. M. et Tate. Marree; 

 Willochra. Leaves green, succulent, plano-convex. 



Amarantaceae. 

 Alternanthera nodiflora, R. Br. Marree. 



AlZOACEAE. 



Gunniopsis zygophylloidts, (F. v. M.) Maid. et 

 Betche ( Aizoon zygopliylloides, F. v. M.). Marree. The 

 capsule is 4-lobed and much depressed in the centre of the 

 summit. It begins to open septicidally, but almost at the 

 same time it splits loculicidally also, so that it finally separates 

 into 8 valves. The placentas remain united in the centre, 

 and the lower half of the column, which bears no placentas, 

 is 4-winged, because the lower parts of the septa break away 

 from the valves and remain attached to the central column. 

 The dehiscence is therefore partly septifragal. 



*Mese7nbryanthemum angulatum, Thunb. Port Lin- 

 coln (H. Griffith) ; swamp near Port Adelaide (H. W. 

 Andrew). South Africa. First record for this State; already 

 recorded for Victoria. 



Caryophyllaceae . 



Spergularia rubra, Pers. Marree (Dist. C). Small 

 specimens growing at waterhole. 



*Hemiaria hirsuta, L. Leigh Creek. After re-examin- 

 ing the specimens in the Tate Herbarium labelled "H. 

 incana, Lamk.," and collected on the Murray and in the 

 North, I have no doubt they are the same plant as the above, 

 now widely distributed throughout South Australia, and that 

 H. incana should be deleted from our flora until we have 

 better proof of its introduction. 



Cruciferae. 



Lepidium hyssop) folium, Desv. Waterfall Gully; Fin- 

 don; Grange Road; Gladstone. Fruits arranged in long 

 racemes.
