been gathered without due discrimination as to flower and fruit, and consequently 

 much time has been lost in the determination of the species, otherwise we might

The collection is characteristic of the Eremian region, and the high land of 

 the Macdonnell Range does not seem to possess any other type of vegetation, 

 though it offers several specific differences, and some few generic, as compared 

 with the low-level tracts which stretch southward from its base. 



Ihe following species are new to the Australian flora : — Eriostemon argyreus, 

 n.sp. ; Sida podopetala, n. sp. ; Calptis latius-cula, n. sp. ; Goodenia fascic-
