  Bursaria 
  spinosa, 
  " 
  a 
  good 
  stand-by," 
  after 
  the 
  grasses 
  dry 
  up. 
  

  

  Pomaderris 
  racemosa, 
  "stands 
  stocking 
  well." 
  

  

  Pitiosporum 
  phyllaeroides. 
  "sheep 
  exceedingly 
  partial 
  to 
  its 
  foliage." 
  

  

  Casuarina 
  quadrivalvis, 
  "tenderness 
  of 
  fiber, 
  wool 
  would 
  be 
  represented 
  by 
  it 
  

   in 
  our 
  finer 
  wool 
  districts." 
  

  

  Acacias, 
  The 
  "Wattles. 
  "Value 
  as 
  an 
  astringent, 
  very 
  great," 
  being 
  curative 
  of 
  

   a 
  malady 
  often 
  caused 
  by 
  eating 
  frozen 
  grass. 
  

  

  Acacia 
  aneura 
  (mulga). 
  "Must 
  be 
  very 
  nutritious 
  to 
  all 
  animals 
  eating 
  it." 
  

   This 
  is 
  the 
  plant 
  which 
  is 
  such 
  a 
  terror 
  to 
  the 
  stockmen 
  who 
  have 
  to 
  ride 
  through 
  

   the 
  " 
  scrub." 
  

  

  Cassia, 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  with 
  good 
  pods 
  and 
  leaves 
  for 
  sheep. 
  

  

  The 
  foregoing 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  districts 
  which 
  are 
  not 
  wholly 
  arid. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  are, 
  more 
  properly, 
  "dry" 
  plants. 
  

  

  Sida 
  petrophila, 
  " 
  as 
  much 
  liked 
  by 
  sheep 
  as 
  by 
  marsupials." 
  

  

  Dodonaea 
  viscosa, 
  Native 
  Hop-bush. 
  " 
  Likes 
  warm, 
  red, 
  sandy 
  ground." 
  

  

  Lycium 
  australe, 
  " 
  Drought 
  never 
  seems 
  to 
  affect 
  it." 
  

  

  Kochia 
  aphylla: 
  "All 
  kinds 
  of 
  stock 
  are 
  often 
  largely 
  dependent 
  on 
  it 
  during 
  

   protracted 
  droughts." 
  

  

  Rhagodia 
  paroholica 
  : 
  " 
  Produces 
  a 
  good 
  deal 
  of 
  foliage." 
  

  

  Atriplex 
  vesicaria: 
  "Can 
  be 
  readily 
  grown 
  wherever 
  the 
  climate 
  is 
  not 
  too 
  

   wet." 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  transferred 
  only 
  those 
  which 
  Mr. 
  Dixon 
  thinks 
  most 
  worthy 
  of 
  trial.

  Vasey's

  The 
  weeds 
  of 
  German 
  gardens 
  and 
  agricultural 
  lands 
  are 
  mostly 
  from 
  Medi- 
  

   terranean 
  regions, 
  but 
  the 
  invasions 
  in 
  the 
  uncultivated 
  districts 
  are 
  chiefly 
  from 
  

   America, 
  (such 
  as 
  Oenothera, 
  Mimulus, 
  Rudbeckia).
