BRIEF REPORT ON THE BOTANY OF THE EXCURSION 
TO BUDERIM MOUNTAIN/EASTER, 1916. 
The Chib has paid four visits to Buderim Mt. On three 
of these, it has been my pleasure to be present ; the locality 
is an extremely interesting one botanically, within easy dist- 
ance being found several distinct types of plant -associations. 
All scrub ” (rain-forest) has, practically speaking, been 
cleared from the mountain, but still a fair amount remains 
in the gullies along the different creeks. On our last 
excursion, a couple of visits were paid to the coast, and the 
country between Moolcolah Hds and Maroochydore was 
fairly well worked. Qu\te a number of interesting plants 
were gathered, in addition to those listed in the “ Queensland 
Naturalist,” Vol. 1, pp. 256-261. Eugenia cyanocarpa and 
Cyperus laevigatas, two species collected, proved new records 
for the State. Owing to exigencies of space, a list of the 
species collected is not given, but the more interesting ones 
are noticed in various papers. — C. T. White. 
REPORT ON THE BOTANY OF EXCURSION TO MYORA 
STRADBROKE ISLAND (EASTER, 1917). 
From the botanical point of view, this excursion must 
be regarded as exceedingly profitable. The locality would 
be an excellent one for the study of plant ecology, several 
distinct types of plant-associations being in evidence. One of 
the most interesting is the “ Turf Moss ” formation (so 
designated by Domin), consisting largely of Cyperacese and 
Restiaceae, with a good number of flowering shrubs ; an 
Epacrideous plant characteristic of this formation is Sprengelia 
Ponceletia, the solitary flowers, white or pinkish, and placed 
at the end of the branches, make this a distinctive plant, 
and the flowers dotted all over the swamp make it very 
characteristic of the formation. In the more swampy parts 
was a grea.t quantity of the Citron Scented Tea Tree (Leptos- 
permum Liversidgei), vLich occurs in such quantities that 
it should prove nrofitable for collecting for oil distillation. 
Agonis ScorteeJnniana is another Myrtaceous shrub, very com- 
mon in such situations on the northern en^of Stradbroke. All 
around the edge of this turf moss [Sphagnum] formation 
and around the edge of the swamps, Eucalyptus rohu^ta i^ 
very common. Of Utricularias in the ‘ wetter situations, 
U. evanea and U. lateriflora were gathered. 
In the forest country around the camp the principal 
trees were; — Eucalyptus of six (6) species, E. tereticornis, 
resinifera, Planchoniana , hcBmastoma, corymhosa and pilularis
