COMPOSITAE. 



Heliehrysum obtusi folium, Sond. et F. v. M. Yumali 

 (Dist. T; S. A. White); scrub south of Lameroo (Dist. M). 



//. leucopsidium, DC. Pinnaroo (Dist. M). 



H . sem/papposum, DC. Mount Patawurta, near Moo- 

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



Ilelipteriun Jessenii, F. v. M. Pinnaroo. 



II. corymbiflorum, Schlecht. Ferguson Gorge (E. H. 

 Ising). Stems only about 15 cm. high and 1 -headed by- 

 abortion. 



H . dimorpkolepis, Benth. Ferguson Gorge, near Moo- 

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



Calotis scapigera, Hook. Port Adelaide River; Murray 

 Bridge; Renmark. Pay pink, turning white. 



Ixodia achilleoides, R. Br. Coonalpyn (Dist. T; H. W. 

 Andrew). 



Olearia pimeleoides, var. minor, Benth. Yumali (S. A. 

 White); Milang Road (E. C. Black); Dublin scrub (H. 

 Griffith) ; Pinnaroo. A shrub 1-2 m. high; involucre 6 mm. 

 long, at first cylindrical; ray-flowers, 6-10; disk-flowers about 

 10; achenes glabrous, when ripe cylindrical, black, ribbed, 

 2\ mm. long. In view of the smaller heads and leaves, 

 the fewer flowers, and especially the glabrous achenes (not 

 mentioned by Bentham), one feels a doubt as to whether 

 this variety is not really a separate species. 



0. Muelleri, Benth. Mount Patawurta, near Moolooloo 

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



0. ciliata, F. v. M. Lameroo; Karoonda (Dist. M). 



0. lepidophylla, Benth. Loxton (Dist. M; S. A. 

 White) ; Coonalpyn (H. W. Andrew) ; Alberton. Ray- 

 flowers 4-6, disk-flowers 5-12. 



0. jioribunda, (Hook, f.) Benth. Loxton (S. A White); 

 Coonalpyn (H. W. Andrew). Heads numerous, apparently 

 in dense panicles; involucre 3-4 mm. long; flowers usually 

 6, 3 ligulate and 3 central; leaves clustered, 1-H mm. long; 

 branches slender and flexible. 



Brachycome exilis, Sond. Owienagin Gap, near Moo- 

 looloo (Dist. S; E. H. Ising). A minute form with simple 

 stem, 20-35 mm. high in our specimens; all the leaves linear- 

 cuneate and entire; ray-flowers pink, 5-9; disk-flowers only 

 2 or 3. I have similarly minute specimens from Tintinara, 

 with entire leaves, but the stems are at least once-branched 

 and the disk-flowers rather more numerous. 



73. calocarpa, F. v. M. Lameroo. These specimens 

 present a different appearance from the ordinary form, the 

 whole plant being more or less woolly, especially towards the
