BOTANY OF STRADBROKE ISLAND. 
By C. T. WniTp], F.L.S., Government Botanist. 
The flora of Stradbroke Island has previously received 
attention from the members of the Club, and a brief 
reference to some of the outstanding features noticed on our 
last trip wall be found in this journal.* 
On our recent trip the camp wns pitched at a spot not 
very far from our previous locality, and the remarks made 
here refer only to the country l.ving between Dunwieh and 
Myora, and must not be taken as representative of the flora 
of the island as a wdiole. For the purpose of convenience, 
the species gathered or noticed may be grouped according 
to their habitats — viz., wfliether occurring on the sea-shore, 
fresh-water sw'amps, and scrub or open forest. Only the- 
outstanding plants, or those in flow'er or fruit are noticed. 
Had the visit been made in the spring w'hen the Boronias, 
Leguminosa\ Liliaeea*. Ground Orchids, &c., were in flower, 
the list would have been considerably larger. 
Mangroves. — Avicennia officinalis, the White Man- 
grove, was the common species. Others more sparingly 
occurring w'ere Fhizophora mucronata (Red Mangrove) and 
Bruguiera Fheedei (Black Mangrove) .
