Turcz. It is a small shrub, 1-2 m. high, with lanceolate, 

 or linear-lanceolate, bright-green leaves, the operculum only 

 4 mm. long, but longer than the calyx-tube; fruit about 

 4 mm. long by 5 mm. diameter; valves 3, much exserted. 

 Locally called "Green mallee." 



E . calycogona, Turcz. Pinnaroo. In the better soil near 

 this town this is a mallee 5-10 m. high, with fruits often 

 12 mm. long on unusually long pedicels of 6-7 mm. In some 

 cases trees which have been cut down show butts 50-60 cm. 

 in diameter, from which a number of stems spring. The 

 inner bark is smooth and pale grey; the outer bark brown, 

 rough, and peeling. In many instances specimens of Fusanus 

 acurrunatus ("Native Peach") were growing — probably 

 parasitically — so close to these _trees that the stem of the 

 Fusanus was impressed into that of the Eucalyptus, forming 

 a deep channel along one side. Further south, at the begin- 

 ning of the 90-mile Desert, E. calycogona flowers as a whip- 

 stick mallee not 3 m. high. 



E . Morrisii, R. T. Baker in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 

 xxv., 312 (1900). Mount Patawurta, near Moolooloo; in bud 

 and with fruits ripe and unripe, October 2, 1918 (E. H. 

 Ising). First record in South Australia of this species, which 

 has hitherto been found only on the western plains of New 

 South Wales. The determination is by Mr. J. H. Maiden. 

 Buds obovoid, the obtuse operculum slightly longer than the 

 tube; fruits varying in size, the largest 10 mm. long by 9 mm. 

 diameter, rim broad, at first flat, then conspicuously domed; 

 leaves whitish, showing a similarity to those of the allied 

 species E. dealbata, A. Cunn. 



E. viminalis, Labill. Ferguson Gorge, near Moolooloo 

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



Micromyrtus ciliata, (Sm.) combin. nov. (Imbricaria 

 ciliata, Sm. in Trans. Linn. Soc, iii., 259, ann. 1797; Baechea 

 microphylla, Sieb. in Spreng. Syst. cur. post. 149, ann. 1827; 

 Micromyrtus microphylla, Benth., Fl. Aust., iii., 65, ann. 

 1866; Thryptomene ciliata, F. v. M. in Woolls, PI. neighb. 

 Syd. 23, ann. 1880). A slender erect shrub, common in the 

 scrub south of Pinnaroo, about 50 cm. high; petals and calyx- 

 lobes light pink. Under the lens the ciliation of the upper 

 leaves is conspicuous. 



Halorrhagidaceae. 

 Halorrhagis elata, A. Cunn. Mount Patawurta and 

 Owienagin Gap, near Moolooloo (Dist. S; E. H. Ising). Small 

 specimens, 15-20 cm. high. Blackheath, near Harrogate (H. 

 W. Andrew).
