190 A. J. EWART, JEAN WHITE AND J. R. TOVEY. 
plumose, the white tips to the inner laminze are prominent 
and the heads narrower and cylindrical. 
Helipterum Guilfoylei, Ewart (Composite). Additional 
localities—Near Mount Moore, W.A., Edwin Merral, 
1889; near Fraser’s Range, W.A., J. Batt, 1896. 
These were amongst some specimens recovered from the 
late Baron Mueller’s executors, after eleven years (Novem- 
ber 1907). The former specimen was provisionally labelled 
Helipterum exiguum by Mueller, but both specimens differ 
from that-species in the number of florets, in the achenes, 
pappus, and in the fact that some of the bracts have laminz 
and are differently coloured. 
Helipterum heteranthum, Turcz., var. minor, new variety 
(Composite). Cowcowing, W.A., Max Koch, No. 1108 
(1904). 
Plant usually 4—6 inches high with smaller heads, and 
the laminee and edges of the bracts purplish-red at least 
when fresh. 
Isotropis atropurpurea, F.v.M. var. alba, Ewart, N. var. 
(Leguminose). Near Lake Austin, W.A., King and 
Lefroy 1890. 
It is less prominently rusty tomentose than the type 
specimens, the leaves are narrower and rather longer, the 
sepals are also slightly longer, and the standard though 
striate is pale or white. 
The specimens could not be matched at the National 
Herbarium nor at Kew, but the differences are not sufficient 
to justify the establishment of a new species. Probably 
the species would show considerable variation in the colour 
of the flower if cultivated.
