century old, all colour has faded from the petals. Diels and 

 Pritzel (Fragm. phyt. Aust. occ. 324) say the flowers are 

 white, and if this observation is correct, there must be a white- 

 flowered form in Western Australia. 



M. multiflora, Turcz. (Eriostemon capitatus, var. 

 baccharoides, F. v. M.) (Plate vii.) Pinnaroo; Sedan 

 (Roth©); Eucla (J. Forrest and J. D. Batt) ; Hoyleton (S. 

 Dixon in Tate Herbarium) ; Fowler Bay and Gawler Ranges 

 (D. Sullivan, teste F. v. M., Fragm., ix., 107). Leaves 

 sp reading-erect or erect and appressed, 2-4 mm. long, oblong 

 or somewhat dilated and cordate at base, subpeltately attached 

 to the branch by an excavation at the base of the upper 

 surface of the leaf, the glandular tubercles conspicuous ; sepals 

 broader, more conspicuous, and villous than in the preceding; 

 petals white, 3-4 mm. long, glabrous or ciliate with long hairs 

 in the lower half; filaments glabrous; seed black, slightly 

 wrinkled longitudinally. I have had an opportunity of exam- 

 ining a co-type (Drummond, No. 211) from the Victorian 

 National Herbarium, from which I also received the Eucla 

 and Sedan specimens. This small erect shrub is very common 

 in the scrub bordering on the 90-mile Desert, south of Pin- 

 naroo. Both these species of Microcybe occur at Murrayville, 

 Vict., just across our border (H. B. Williamson). 



Eriostemon difformis, A. Cunn. Mount Patawurta, near 

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



Phebalium bullatum, J. M. Black. This slender shrub, 

 which at Karoonda is rarely above 50 cm. high, grows to over 

 1 m. in the scrub south of Lameroo and Pinnaroo. 



Boronia coerulescens, F. v. M. Both the glabrous and 

 pubescent forms of this small shrub occur in the scrub south 

 of Lameroo. The pubescent form has pale-purple flowers, 

 while those of the glabrous plant are bright purple.

Tetratheca pilosa, Labill. Scott Creek; Norton Summit ; 

 Blackwood ; Brown Hill Creek ; Bridgewater ; Teatree Gully ;

 sepals dark red; petals varying from white to dark purple; 

 leaves mostly scattered.
