axillaribus, perianthio fructifero depresso, tubo brevissimo, 

 lobis latis planiusculis pubescentibus aid Integra annular! 

 membranaced horizontal! 5-6 mm. diam. circumdatis. 



Plain west of Leigh Creek (Copley) railway sation (W. 

 A. Cannon); near Port Augusta (Tate Herbarium); Telowie. 



This species has the succulent, trigonous, subopposite 

 leaves of K. oppositi folia, F. v. M., but they are longer and 

 recurved or almost hooked at the summit, while the horizontal 

 wing of the fruiting perianth is entire, and resembles that 

 of some of the small-fruited forms of A', villosa, Lindl. 

 Dedicated to Dr. W. A. Cannon, of the Carnegie Institution 

 of Washington (Department of Botanical Research), who 

 visited South Australia in 1918 to study the root-systems of 

 our dry-country plants. He brought from Leigh Creek fruit- 

 ing specimens of this Kochia, and on looking through my 

 herbarium I found a similar specimen, without fruits, which 

 I gathered in the Hundred of Telowie, near the coast, in 

 1906, and placed tentatively with K. oppositifolia. The Tate 

 Herbarium contains, similarly placed, a specimen with 2 

 fruits, collected near Port Augusta. 



K. eriantha, F. v. M. Leigh Creek (W. A. Cannon). 



E. planifolia, F. v. M. Leigh Creek (W. A. Cannon). 

 Leaves to 14 mm. long and appearing flat when dried, but 

 when fresh I have found them rather cigar-shaped and very 

 slightly compressed. They differ from those of K. sedi folia 

 in being shortly, but distinctly, petiolate. 



Chenopodium microphyllum , F. v. M. Mount Patawurta 

 (Dist. S; E. H. Ising). 



^Chenopodium Vulvaria, L. "Stinking Goosefoot." 

 Tantanoola District, 1918; growing in gardens and among 

 potato crops (H. W. Andrew). This European weed, dis- 

 tinguished by its unpleasant and persistant smell of stale fish, 

 has not previously been recorded for South Australia. It 

 seems to be a somewhat recent introduction to Australia. 

 According to Prof. Ewart (Weeds, etc., of Vict., 75) it was 

 first recorded for that State in 1908; C. Moore does not men- 

 tion it in his Fl. N.S. Wales (1893), or F. M. Bailey in his 

 Weeds, etc., of Queensland (1906). 



PHYTOL ACCACEAE . 



Codonocarpus pyramidalis, F. v. M. Ferguson Gorge, 

 near Moolooloo (E. H. Ising). Fruits ripe (October 9). "A 

 tree 5 m. high, with straight, smooth trunk; branches 

 horizontal." 



Nyctaginaceae . 



Boerhaavia repanda, Willd. Parachilna Gap (E. H. 

 Ising).
