This is a tall ornamental shrub, native of South Africa, found 
growing through the swamps round Albany. It is known as 
Taglorima , having' been introduced- by a man named Taylor. It is 
well established as a naturalised alien, and is holding' its own 
against the native vegetation. Owing to this, it might be collected 
as a native plant.

Specimens obtained in September, 1920, at Murray River, Pin- 
jarra, by Mr. .1. (hark, are deep magenta, but otherwise their 
structure is that of the typical ( flaw a. Specimens showing a 
broad rod line on the dorsal sepal and petals are common in the 
hills. Pinjana specimens show all gradations from the yellow to 
the magenta, and can hardly be regarded as being a distinct variety. 
I nlermediate forms are white speckled with magenta. The name

Guildford Grass (liomulea Ihilhocodium) at South Perth, Septem-

Folyporcue.

Denmark, received 10/9/20, from S. M. Darragh. 
This fungus produces underground sclerotia, which were used 
by the natives as an article of food, from which fact they received 
the name Plnck fellow’s Dread. The fructification is seldom pro- 
duced. This specimen was about three inches in diameter, hut 
others are said to have attained the size of a football. It is found 
in all the other States, but has not previously been recorded trom 
Western Australia, though from the account of residents the 
sclorofia are fairlv often ploughed up at Denmark.
