■wind-tossed, arc Pink (nim {Eucalyptvs iasciculosa). Pepper- 
mnit (/:. odorata) and Shc-oak (Casiiarina stricta). To the east- 
ward just beyond the sandy soil are a few Red Gums {E. rostra- 
ta) in better soil probably near water. There is a little grove of 
Melaleuca pubescens. Native Peach or Edible Quandong {Eu- 
carya acuminata) still grows here but the small straggly trees 
do not seem flourishing and there was no evidence of recent 
fruiting; they were noted growing near both £. jasriadosa and C. 
siricta and perhaps these were their hosts. Several Bitter Quan- 
dongs {Eucarya persicaria) were noted; these were in flower in 
November and stones were numerous under them. A few Native 
Cher ries {Exocarpus cupressijornm) were seen and one Bursaria 
"ipinosa. The Grass-tree {X avthorrhoea seviiplana) is not num- 
erous but flourishes well; leaves were measured half an inch in 
diameter and the flowering stems were very large and in bloom in 
October and November. A few stunted Banksia maryhiata still 
survive. Of taller shrubs, Myoporum hisidare and Leucopoy^on 
parviflonis grow behind the coastal ridge, the latter up to ten feet 
high. Golden Wattle {Acacia pycnantha) and Kangaroo Bush 
{./. arviata) are present but not abundant. Thomasia petalo- 
calyx, Leptospermiun myrsinoides and Calythrix tetragona are 
abundant. Bracken Fern {Pteridium aquilinum) is common near 
the coastal ridge. In one place is a large nearly pure patch of the 
handsome Dainpiera lanceolata, the young shoots nearly white 
from their woolly investiture. Grevillea rosmarinilolla here and 
elsewhere along the coast has broader and less rigid leaves than, 
for instance, at Encounter Bay. DianeUa re-vohita, Xfuehlenbeckia 
adpressa, Billardiera cymosa and Goodema amplexans are not 
common. Rarer are Correa rubra, Isopogon ceralophylhis , ilie 
two species of Astrolomay Hibbertia siricta and //. virgata (spath- 
ulate leaves). Of smaller plants, Biirchardia umbellata, Wahlen- 
hergia gracilis with remarkably large flowers and growing luxur- 
iantly, Dichopogon strictus, the sedge Lepidosperma carphoides 
and Erechtiies are to be found. Kun%ea poniijera, with edible 
fruits, creeps on the ground. Amongst quite small plants are 
the Carrot-P'ern {Cheilanthes te7iuifolia) , the leaves of tlie orchid 
Lyperanthus nigricans (flowering only when the country has 
been burnt), Centrolepis sirigosd, Calandrinia pygmaea (red 
leaves, black fruit). C. •volubilis, C. calyptrata, Poranthera mic- 
rophylla, Crassula Sieberiana, Didiscus pusUlus and Millotia ten- 
uifolia. Idle grasses comprise more particularly several species 
of Slipa (Spear Grass), Dichelachne sciurea and Neurachve alop- 
ecuroides (f).
