(Plates III. and IY.) 
The present paper contains additions to the flora of Queensland since 
the publication of the previous Contributions (these Proceedings Yol. 
53, pp. 201-228). 
Family Ranunculaceae. 
Ranunculus sceleratus L. Sp. PL 551 (1753). Celery Ranunculus. 
Moreton District : Gold Creek near Brisbane, in wet place associated 
with TriglocMn and Samoim, M. S. Clemens (flowers) 18-5-1943. 
A native of the Northern Hemisphere (North America, Europe and 
Asia) naturalised in the southern States of Australia but not previously 
recorded for Queensland. 
Family Rutaceae. 
Eriostemon lanceolatus Gaertn. f. de Fruct. iii. 154, t. 210 (1807). 
E. salicifolius Smith in Rees Cyclop, xiii. No. 1. 
Darling Downs District : Pyramid Mt., about 30 miles from Stan- 
thorpe, H. Jarvis (flowers) 6-11-1921. Wide Bay District: Fraser 
Island, Miss S. Lovell (fruits) 7-1-1894; Tin Can Bay, very common 
in restricted area in very sandy soil, C. T. White 12284 (flowers) 
12-9-1943 (shrub 1-1.5 m., slender upright growth, flowers mauve). 
Three definite localities for this species, previously admitted into 
the Queensland flora by Mueller and Bailey without definite locality 
records. It is a very common wild-flower of the Hawkesbury sandstone, 
New South Wales, and one would expect to find it in Queensland towards 
the Tweed River, in the south-eastern corner of the State. Its occur- 
rence in the Wide Bay district extends our knowledge of its range 
considerably northwards. 
Family Malvaceae. 
Sida Cunninghamii sp. nov. 
S. pedunadata A. Cunn. ex Benth. FI. Austr. i. 193 (1863), non 
Domin.

elliptico-ovata ad lineari-lanceolata apice obtusa vel subacuta, basi 
obtusa, leviter cordata vel in foliis latioribus manifeste cordata, margine

vel saepe ad 3 cm. reducti ; bracteae ad setas 3 subaequales 5-7 mm.
