Var. macrocarpa, Ewart and Davies.- — 90 mUes N.W. of Camp III., G. F. 

 Hill (347), 15/6/1911. Specimen with flowers and unripe fruit. 



Owen Siprings Station, Hugh River, G. F. Hill (114), 21/3/1911. Sped; 

 men with fruits. 



The variety differs from the type in the possession of larger glabrous 

 leaves (about 3 cm.). The stem, is pubescent, with very short hairs. The 

 flower ia larger, measuring 3^4 cm., the pedicel slightly over 3 cm. The 

 calyx is campanulate, the lobes not so acute as in the type, and the division 

 in some cases much deeper. The fruit is much larger, measuring 1.5-2 cm., 

 and its surface is marked by rough longitudinal ridges. It is four-celled. 



It seems probable that E. Macdonelli really includesi at least two species, 

 but until more material is available, it has been thought best to put these 

 fresh specimens under a. new variety. 



8. E. maculata, F. v. If.— 90 mUes N., halt W. of Camp III., G. F. HUl 

 (350, 551, and 356a), 15/6/1911. A bush 3 ft. high. Spotted Berrigan. 



Recorded. Attack Creek, M'Douall Stuart's Expedition. 



Native " Fuchsia" ; a poison bush. Poisonous according to Maiden and 

 GreshoS. Contaias a large quantity of prussic acid. If the leaves or the fruits 

 are eaten by stock separately or at different times no harm occurs, but when 

 taken together a violent poison is produced which quickly causes death.

"The edges of the leaves are entire instead of being serrated or indented. 

 In shape the leaves are near to the variety glabriuscula, which has, however, 

 glabrous branches and serrated leaves.
