of 1880, and was most likely introduced from Mauritius, since 

 I find that in the Flora of Mauritius and Seychelles published 

 in 1877, it is said to be frequent in waste ground, while in the 

 Flora of Australia published in 1876 it does not appear. It is 

 now know in Australia as " Cockle burr" or "Noogoora" burr 

 and has done considerable damage. The Government Botanist 

 of Queensland says that he remembers when an expenditure 

 of £50 would have stamped it out, but that now it would take 

 untold riches to do it. This plant is unfortunately common in 

 the vicinity of Durban, and has spread almost over the colony; 

 the attention of Government was called to it by the writer 

 some 20 years ago, but still it flourishes. 



I have now only to say in conclusion that Miss Franks is 

 still at work in the Herbarium, and she has made all the draw- 

 ing for " Natal Plants " since 1906, and many of those pub- 

 lished previously, and the whole of the drawings of the grasses 

 in Vol V are her work, and she is now a most efficient 

 assistant in all the work of the Herbarium.
