24/6/81.

In looking over some supplement-collections of Grasses, dear Prof Tate, I find that the following are omitted for S.A. from the country west of the Darling-River passing over the S.A boundary:

Plant names, except the first one, are marked with a tick. Tate (1892b), p.103 uses M's information, but the alignment of the species names, collectors and locations does not match this MS: for example, Tate gives Setaria macrostachya from River Finke collected by Kempe. A search of AVH (accessed 7 March 2024) for Setaria macrostachya returned MEL 583812 (Verbena macrostachya) collected by Kempe at Finke River in 1880.

Eriochloa annulata Hamilton.

Panicum helopus Trinius.

Panicum spinescens RBrown.

Aristida leptopoda Bentham from the Finke-River, (Kempe)

Setaria macrostachya from near the Glenelg River

Eragrostis Brownii Kunth. the latter collected in S.A. by myself

Regardfully
