Soutii Australia. — -Ooldea (Tietkins) ; head of Great 

 Bight (T. Richards); Euria (Eucla|"?], T. Richards); Yalata, 

 near Fowler Bay (R. Tate). A very minutely pubescent 

 greyish desert plant, which should perhaps be considered a 

 distinct species, but the specimens (all from the Tate 

 Herbarium) are small and incomplete. 



Thymelaeaceae . 



Pimelea, ammocharis, F. v. M. Yaninee, Eyre Penin- 

 sula (border of Dists. W and L). Received from the local 

 school teacher per E. G. Edquist. Quoted for Central Aus- 

 tralia in Tate's Flora, but this appears to be the first record 

 of this beautiful silver-leaved plant in South Australia.

 Murray Scrub; Collinswood. 



Myrtaceae. 



Eucalyptus vitellina, Naud. Road between Mount Gam- 

 bier and Glencoe. A tree 5-7 m. high, often with drooping 

 branches; bark rough and brown or grey, except on the 

 smaller branches, where it is smooth and light in colour. 

 The glossy leaves vary much in size and shape, are 10-20 cm. 

 long and 12-45 mm. broad, with the lateral nerves often 

 almost parallel with the midnerve, after the manner of E. 

 pauciflora, Sieb. Umbels 3-15-flowered, the operculum either 

 almost flat, with a small umbo, as described by Naudin, or 

 hemispherical and umbonate; fruits ovoid-truncate, 7-8 mm. 

 in diameter and 6-7 mm. long, the rim broad and flat. This 

 species, as far as South Australia is concerned, was placed by 

 Bentham (Fl. Aust., iii., 202) under E. virgata, Sieb., with 

 the locality "stringybark forests 15 miles north-west of Mount 

 Gambier." It seems to me very probable that this is the same 

 species as was described and figured by the late J. Ednie 

 Brown (For. Fl. S. Austr., part 4) under the name of E. 

 pauciflora, Sieb. The localities quoted are Dismal Swamp 

 and Benara Estate. Although E. pauciflora, Sieb., and E. 

 Sieberiana, F. v. M., are both recorded by Tate for the 

 Mount Gambier district in his Fl. Extra-trop. S. Austr., the 

 Tate Herbarium contains no specimens. There is, however, 

 a specimen labelled ll E. amygdalina, Labill., Nangwarry 

 Forest and Tarpeena, J. E. Brown and R. Tate," in s the 

 Tate Herbarium. This also appears to be the same as my 

 specimens, and some collected later by Mr. E. S. Alcock, 

 on the road from Mount Gambier to Glencoe, which were 

 submitted to Mr. J. H. Maiden and determined by him as
