Epacris micropliylla, with soiiiewliat fastigate branches, cordate 
acuminate leaves, and terminal bunches of wlilte axillary flowers ; 
the broad-leaved Banksia (B. latifolia). The following amongst 
other herbaceous plants were also found in this situation, 
namely : — Andrastma salicifolia (not, however, in flower) ; three 
of those interesting insectivorous plants, the Sundews — namely, 
Brosera burmanni, with its rosette ol radical spathiilate leaves ; 
D. binata, with its divided or twice dichotomous leaves, and D. 
peltata, with its numerous orbicular stem-leaves. An example 
of these insectivorous plants, which capture their living food 
material by means of snfall utricles (bladders) — namely, the 
Utricularife (Fara. Lentibulariese), was also met with growing in 
the mud — merely a slender hair-like erect stem, with a few purple 
flowers, probably U. uliginosa. There was also obtained here 
the white-flowered fragile Mitrasacme indica ; Stylidium debile, 
with its mechanically irritable flower column ; Lobelia anceps ; 
the amaryllid Hannodorum tenuifolium ; 'Kyris operculata, with 
its yellow flower forming a terminal head ; Commelyna cyanea ; 
Eriocaulon, with grass-like leaves and white flowers compacted 
into a rounded knob. In the same swamp were also gathered 
examples of numerous species of rushes (Juncacete), Cyperacese, 
including the handsome Cyperus lucidus and Restiacese including 
Restio tetraphyllus with its curious contorted foliage. The 
swamp-loving grasses were represented by Paspalum distichum, 
Leersia hexandra, with its six stamens ; Isch^mum muticum, 
and others. Club-mosses by Lycopodium laterale or a close 
ally, and Selaginella uliginosa. Finally, amongst ferns were 
Gleichenia dicarpa, Lindsica dimorpha, a large Aspidium, seeming 
to be equally related to both A. molle and A. unitum and 
Bleclmum serrulatum. 
At the foot of the hills running north and south, with an 
aspect towards Moretoii Bay, were secured Hibbertia linearis, 
Elieocarpus cyaneus, a handsome shrub with conspicuous cobalt- 
blue somewhat large fruits ; Zieria Ifevigata ; the so-called native 
hop plant — Dodoiiica triquetra ; the leguminous bush Gompho- 
lohium virgatum, with trifoliate leaves and conspicuous somewhat 
large yellow flowers, also a second species (G. pinnatum) of the 
same genus, not in flower ; Acacia juniperina, a low shrub with 
aeicular foliage ; the native raspberry, Rubus parvifolius ; the
