CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FLORA UF AUSTRALIA. 199 
Melilotus alba, Desr. (Leguminose). ‘‘ Bokhara Olover.”’ 
Naturalized by cultivation in Victoria and now widely 
spread. 
Moraeu xerospitha, Mac Owan, (Irideze Fl. Capensis 1897). 
Near Adelaide, S.A., Tate (1881); North Adelaide, S.A. 
O. Tepper (1886); Newarpurr, Victoria, Miss Thurmann 
(1905); near Melbourne, Victoria, W. R.A. Baker(1905). 
The identification has been confirmed at the Cape of 
Good Hope. This plant was introduced into Australia from 
South Africa, long before it had been described as a species 
in South Africa. It appears to be naturalized. 
Oxalis tetraphylla, Cav. (Geraniacee). Gippsland, Victoria, 
O. French, Jnr. and O. J. Goodman (1908). 
It appears to be naturalized. 
Viola tricolor, L. (Violaceze). Watts River, Victoria, 
©. Walter (1898). 
Probably introduced with agricultural seed, or a garden 
escape. 
ERRONEOUS RECORDS OF NATURALIZED ALIENS. 
Avena sativa, L. (Graminez). Recorded in the Journal 
of Pharmacy (1887) by F. M. Reader as naturalized. We 
have no evidence of the common cultivated oat A. sativa, 
L., establishing itself as a naturalized alien. 
Bidens cernua, L. (Composite) recorded in the Vict. Nat. 
vol. xviii, p. 103 (1901) by the late C. Walter, was wrongly 
determined. It shouldbe Bidens tripartita, L. (native). The 
same correction was made by Mr. Walter on the original 
Specimen now in the National Herbarium. 
Chenopodium triangulare, R. Br. (Chenopodiaces). 
Recorded as new to Victoria by Mr. C. Walter in Vict. 
Nat., ix, p. 5 (1902), but wrongly identified. It should be 
Rhagodia nutans, R.Br. (native). Walter’s specimens
