[Atriplex conduplicata. Branchlets very thin, almost gla- 
brous; leaves rather small, obovate-or lanceolar-cuneate, entire or 
slightly denticulated, grey from a very thin indument; staminate and 
pistillate flowers on the* same plant; the former in minute clusters, 
the latter often scattered, all axillary or becoming lateral; fruiting 
calyx semiovate-deltoid in outline, sessile, membranous throughout, 
truncate at the base, expanding into two entire almost erect mem- 
branes, the latter nearly as broad as the seed-bearing cavity and sur- 
passing the compressed-conical minutely bilobed summit; seed smooth; 
radicle bent downward. 
In the vicinity of the Darling-River and some of the tnbutanes; 
C. King, L. Singleton. 
An eret shrub, not tall. Leaves attaining a length of nearly one 
inch, of rather thin texture. Staminate glomerules situated at the 
upper part of the branchlets. Fruiting calyces attaining a length and 
width of half an inch, pale, glabrous, net-veined, almost dimidiated 
by the surrounding membrane being folded upwards into two halves. 
Cavity basal, in comparison to the expanding membrane small. 
Similar in habit and leaves to A. halimoides, but very different as 
regards fruit, the membranous expansion being almost vertically 
doubled up, an the seminiferous portion very small and sunk within, 
while the fruit-calyx of A. halimoides is very similar to that of the 
recently described Kochia spongiocarpa. The broad basal truncation 
of the fruit-calyx is quite peculiar to A. conduplicata. 
A Chemical analysis of the various kinds of salt-bushes would be 
highly desirable for an accurate estimate of their respective nutritive 
properties, though such is not invariably combined with palatability. 
The Chenopodium triandrum of New Zealand is transferable of the 
genus Rhagodia. 
Hakea Brookeana. Branchlets robust, scantily silky; leaves 
rather short, filiform, rigid, pungent, soon glabrous; fruits solitary, 
almost sessile, ovate-globular, slightly pointed; valves very thick, ou ^ - 
side exceedingly rough from protuding angular blunt appressed-downy 
tubercles; cavity deeply foveolate; seeds roundish-ovate, on the outer 
side very prominently tuberculated, their membranous appendage 
narrowly decurrent on both sides. 
At or towards Mount Ragged; Miss S. Brooke. 
Probably of shrubby growth. Leaves spreading, firm, hardly ex- 
ceeding an inch in length, if not shorter, always smooth. Flowers 
umknown. Fruits fully an inch long and nearly as broad, reminding 
when unopened of those of Pandanus though in miniature; cavity 
about half as broad as the valves. Seeds black, about V 3 lon g> 
the terminal portion of the appendicular membrane as long as the 
nucleus. „ 
The singulär manner in which the surface of the Iruit-valves is 
broke up, giving it a corky appearance, has lts counterpart only in 
H. pandanocarpa, which species however produces flat leaves, larger 
fruits and a seed-membrane passing broadly all around the nucleus, 
irrespective of likely floral dinerences, yet to be ascertained. 
Hakea Macraeana. Branchlets glabrous or scantily silky; 
leaves rather long, thinly filiform, glabrescent, underneath traversed
