[Cupressaceae] CONIFERAE:

Callitris verrucosa, R. Br.

In Memoir. du Mus. Paris 13, 74. It is supposed that it is this species, which was seen on the River Finke, Lake Amadeus, and in the MacDonnell's, Gill's, Rampart's, Musgrave's and Gosse's Ranges, as it is the only one hitherto recorded from Central Australian collections.

LILIACEAE:

[?] Thysanotus sparteus, R. Br., Prodr., 283. Between Mount Olga and Barrow's Range. [?] Anguillaria Australis, F.M. Fragm. 7, 74. Between Lake Eyre and the River Finke. A species of Xanthorrhoea, reaching a height of twelve feet, was seen on the ranges along Rudall's Creek, but no specimen for examination was secured.

[?] PALMAE:

[?] Livistona Mariae, F.M., Fragm. 9, ined. Glen of Palms. Height up to 60 feet.

TYPHACEAE:

Typha Muelleri, Rohrb. in Verhandl. Brandenb., 1869, page 95. It is probably this species which is recorded in the Journal as occurring in the swamps of Rawlinson's Range.

[Poaceae =] GRAMINEAE:

[?] Andropogon laniger, Desf., Fl. Atlant. 2, 379. Between the Alberga and Mount Olga. Eriachne scleranthoides, F.M., Fragm. 8, 233. Mount Olga. [?] Pappophorum commune, F.M. in Greg. Rep. on Leichh. Search, App., page 10. MacDonnell's Range. [?] Panicum Pseudo-Neurachne, F.M., Fragm. 8, 199. Lake Amadeus. [?] Eleusine cruciata, Lam. Encyc., t. 48, f. 2. Lake Eyre; between the Alberga and Mount Olga. [Aristida browniana] Aristida stipoides, R. Br., Prodr., 174. Between the Alberga and Mount Olga. Bromus arenarius, Labill., Specim. 1, 23, t. 28. Between the Alberga and Mount Olga. Festuca irritans, F.M., Chath. Isl. Veget., 59 (Triodia irritans, R. Br. Pr., 182). Dispersed widely through the deserts, and called Spinifex by the explorers.

CYPERACEAE:

[?] Cyperus textilis, Thunb., Prodr. Pl. Cap., 18. MacDonnell's Range.

[Class: Pteropsida] FILICES:

[Polypodiaceae]

Cheilanthes tenuifolia, Swartz, Syn. Fil., 129. Rawlinson's Range; between the Alberga and Mount Olga. Cheilanthes vellea, F.M., Fragm. 5, 123. Between the Alberga and Mount Olga; also on MacDonnell's Range. C. Reynoldsii, discovered by Mr. Gosse, does not occur in Mr. Giles's collection, and is probably very local.

Mr. Giles's collection contains also species of the genera Vigna, Tephrosia, Melaleuca, Callistemon, Haloragis, Pterigeron, Brachycome, Dampiera, Ipomoea, Morgania, Enchylaena, and Atriplex; as also additional species of Rulingia, Abutilon, Sida, Dodonaea, Euphorbia, Spyridium, Acacia (many), Eucalyptus, Scaevola, Goodenia, Eremophila, Heliotropium, Rhagodia, Ptilotus, Hakea, and Panicum, but none in a state sufficiently advanced to admit of ascertaining their precise specific position.
