POMADERRIS, Labill. 
P. elliptica, LaUll; PI. Nov. Holl. i. 61, t. 86 ; Fl. Austr. i. 417. 
Walsh's Pyramid. It is probable that the flowers are apetalous, for 
in all those I have examined they were wanting. 
GOUANIA, Linn. 
G. australiana, F.v.M.; Fragm. iv. 144. 7. Of this extensive 
tomentose climber. Baron Mueller, when describing the plant in Fragm. 
iv. 144, had no fruit. The plants were in fruit in the Mul grave Eiver 
scrubs, so I may add to his description the following : — Fruit 3 -winged, 
3-celled, measuring (including the wings) about 4 lines diameter, 
tomentose like the rest of tKe plant, wings veined ; seeds glossy, light 
brown, a line long, showing about 3 blunt angles. 
Order AMPELIDE^. 
YITIS, Linn. 
V. Oblonga, Benth.; Fl. Austr. i. 447. Native Grape. 1, 7. 
V. Uitens, F. v. M.; Fragm. ii. 73; Fl. Austr. i. 448. Native 
Grape. 1. 
* The few plants marked witli an asterisk, I obtained but poor specimens of, 
but Baron Mueller lias kindly assisted me in their determination. The descriptions 
in all cases, however, are my own.
