Australian Plants, 



low stem^ smallness of all parts^ its never pinnatifid leaves^ 

 its shorter nodding pedicels, and smaUer always spherical 

 berries. 



I conclude these contributions towards the Australian 

 Solaneae with the remark, that this order received by the 

 first and ever memorable expedition of the unfortunate Dr. 

 Leichhardt the addition of the genus Datura (in Datura 

 Leichhardtii), and by the researches of Dr. Behr the addi- 

 tional genus Lycium (in L. Australe), both unnoticed not 

 only in the golden prodromus of R. Brown^ but also in DunaPs 

 monographia published in 1853. 



LOGANIACEAE. 



40. Mitrasacme distylis. 



(Sect, Lysigyne.) 



Annual, minute, glabrous ; stem upright, simple or a little 

 branched, smooth ; leaves oblong-linear, somewhat carnulent ; 

 pedicels axillar and terminal, setaceous, solitary, rarely two 

 or three together, at least twice as long as the leaves ; calyx 

 bellshaped, very short bilobed, not excelled in length by the 

 corolla ; styles separated ; capsule inclosed j seeds net-veined. 



Around swamps near Mount William. In stature re- 

 sembling Mitrasacme paradoxa, but from this as well as all 

 the other species widely different in its disjoint styles. 



BORRAGINEAE. 



41. Heliotropium lacunarium. 



Stems herbaceous, upright or procumbent, appressed-hairy ; 

 leaves somewhat long petiolate, oblong-or lanceolate-ovate, 

 nearly blunt, entire, not rugose, on both sides scabrous, 

 beneath along the margin and nerve pilose ; spikes ternate 

 geminate or solitary ebracteate ; segments of the calyx sub- 

 equal to each other, of the length of the coroUa-tube j caryop- 

 sides subovate, rugose, glabrous. 



Around the lagoons, and in low localities on the Murray.

42. Anthocercis myosotidea. 



All over hirtellous from short gland-bearing hairs ; leaves 

 small, sessile, ovate, blunt, broader towards the base, un- 

 equally revolute ; pedicels shorter than the hirtellous calyx ;
