[Our Tatura2 correspondent reports:— "Samples of a thistle apparently new to this district were forwarded by the secretary of the North-Eastern and Goulburn Valley Agricultural and Pastoral Association on the 4th inst. to the secretary for agriculture, and by him transmitted to the Government botanist,3 who reports that the thistle is botanically known as 'Centawnea cateitrupa,'4 and in Britain it is commonly called 'star thistle.' It extends from the south of England to the countries on the Mediterranean Sea and to North-Western India. It can be prevented from spreading by cutting and burning the plants before seeding.]
