FIELD NATURALISTS' EXCURSION TO 

 ASHGROVE, 



January 19th. 1889. 



The usual fortnightly excursion was held on the above date. The 

 place visited was a small creek to the right of the Waterworks 

 Road, a few miles beyond Ashgrove. There were eight members 

 present. The locality was not a favourable one for plant collecting.

 following list of plants found in flower or fruit : — 



Pittosporum rhombifolium, A Citnn ; in flower. 

 Stellaria media, Linn. ; in flower. 



Geranium dissectum, Linn., var. australe ; in flower and fruit. 

 The form about Brisbane is the G. potentilloides of authors, 

 and does not form, that carrot-like tap-root of the one on the 

 western plains so highly prized as a sheep fodder.
