PITTOSPOREiE, R. BROWN. 



Bursaria spinosa — Cavanilles. 



Hab. Around Melbourne, Warrnambool, very common. 



Fl. December to February. 



May easily be recognised from its similarity to the privet (Ligustrum vulgar e) 

 so common in the south of England ; sometimes forming a tree of ten to 

 fifteen feet in height, with rough bark — but generally only a bushy scrub. 

 Various species of Hemiptera feed on this plant. The little blue-headed 

 tit builds in it. The seeds resemble a small pouch, hence its generic 

 name. In autumn their rich brown contrasts very beautifully with the 

 bright green foliage.
