Philutheca australis was found at about 10 miles from Bowral, 

 plentifully distributed over several acres, and just opening into 

 flower early in October. An area of sandy soil in the locality 

 was very prolific in flowering plants. 



Mirbelia grandijiora was noticed on this sandy area, its 

 bright yellow flowers making this prostrate plant a charming 

 addition to the flora. 



Dillwynia floribunda var. spinescens was a gorgeous object 

 between the 11- and 12-mile posts, and impressed us as one of 

 the most beautiful plants seen. 



Acacia buxifolia was also flowering near the 11-mile post; it 

 presents the general facies of A. decora Reichb., of the western 

 districts. Some good examples of stem-fasciation were noticed 

 among the branchlets. 



Angophora lanceolata, the smooth-barked Apple or so-called Red 

 Gum, was fairly plentiful at intervals on the Hawkesbury Sand- 

 stone, but A. intermedia, the common Apple Tree, was seen only 

 at one spot, on shale formation, about 15 miles from Bowral, not 

 more than two trees being noticed. Although A. intermedia 

 often grows at altitudes exceeding 2000 feet, especially on New 

 England, it thrives best below this level. 



Hedycarya Cuuninghamii may be seen in slightly sheltered 

 spots on the eastern side of Mt. Oxley. The species is more at 

 home in the brushes along the coastal strip.
