Novkmbkr. 1932 . By J. H. CAeland^ M . T), 
The Euphorbiaceous shrub Adriana Klotzschii is common, Alyxia 
huxifolia (Apocynaceac) with small white flowers less so. The 
Evening Primrose Oenothera odorata grows well, the longer- 
flowered Oe. longiflora being rarer. Clematis microphylla scram- 
bles through various shrubs as does Muehlenbeckia adpressa to 
some extent. 
Near Glenelg, in the depression between the two ridges, the 
Holly-leaved Grevillea {Grevillea ilicifolia) may be found. Acacia 
ligulata is a small shrub with scattered phyllodes instead of Icavci. 
The Muntrie {Kunzea pomifera) may be found at small pros- 
trate colonies composed of crccfing and rooting partly buried 
branches which can be readily torn up from their sandy beds; 
the small fruit is edible and has a taste like apples. The glaucous 
AtfipUx cinereum forms a handsome upright ^hrub on the actual 
strand or the sand ridge over-looking this; the female flowers 
have a purplish tint at times and make quite a pretty appear- 
ance. Colonies of the low growing A triplex paludosum some- 
times appear in the sand near the sea, and here also grows Nitraria. 
' Between these sedges and shrubs, a number of herb-like or low 
spreading plants are to be found whilst spring-time sees many 
annuals such as grasses. Pimelea serpyllifoHa is a common small 
ihrub a foot or more high with small yellow flowers. Sea-rocket 
' (Cakile maritima)y a crucifer with bluish-purple flowers, and 
Senerio lautus with yellow rayed flowers and when growing on 
the sand with rather fleshy leaves, are common. Greyish-whitf 
masses of Calocephalus Brownii grow on the seaward slopes in 
places. Salsola kali, the Rolly-Poly of the interior, is here a 
very rigid and prickly undershrub never detaching itself to be 
blown about. The Australian Blue-bell {Wahlefibergia gracilis) 
grows in sand with many upright stems, almost bushy, with 
small blue flowers. Rhagodia baccata and Threlkeldia diffusa 
are common Chenopodlaceous undershrubs, Enchylaena tomen- 
tosa less so. Tetragonia implexicoma has a spreading habit. 
Pelargonium australe is abundant. Tufts o fthe grass Poa caes~ 
pitosa are numerous. Other grasses, with the exception of oc- 
casional patches of couch (Cynodon dactylon) or of the harsh 
Distichlis maritima, arc mostly annuals and comprise a stout 
broad-leafed Stipa, Danthonia, Ehrharta longifoHa, Lolium sub- 
ulatum, Bromus villosus, B. madritensis, Agropyrum scabrum, 
etc. Lomandra leucocephela, with its stiflF leaves and masses 
uf flowers grouped in patches along the flowering stem, is not in- 
frequent but Lomandra glauca is rather rare, being found, for 
instance, a mile north of the Grange. Another Liliaceous plant.
