The specimens collected being male only, they are not discernible from A. Mo- quiniana Web., which species according to Bentham differs from A. stipitatum by its fruiting bracteoles. Male clusters in open spikes. Flowers yet unopened. Kalgoorlie (No. 336, 10. Oct. 1914). 6. A. rhagodioides F. v. Müll., Benth. Fl. Austr. V (1870) 172. Of this frutescent and mealy-white species two specimens are present in the collection. The first, No. 346, is a female specimen without any male flowers, but whith numerous fruits clustered along the branches. The bracteoles are without dorsal appendages, thickened to the top or nearly so, a narrow strip of thin tissue being sometimes left. The outline varies from rhomboid to nearly semiorbicular and broader than long; a medial point or blunt angle is always present. Width of bracteoles about 5—6 mm. — Most of leaves in this plant are hastate-lanceolate, but entire ones are also found. The second plant, No. 347, is male, nevertheless some few fruits are found. The male flower-clusters are terminal, globular; only on the main shoots more are combined, so as to form some- thing like a spike or panicle. — The leaves are lanceolate and entire, only the uppermost ones are angular below.
