present, are, as Mr. Bennett describes in his able paper, of a 
curved oval form, with jdark granular extremities. Of P. 
dacrydioides Y have seen only very old and perhaps mutilated 
grains, which were certainly trigonous with three opaque 
nuclei, very-much like those of Microcachrys.

This is a very distinct species, though possessing neither 
flower nor fruit; still the habit and appearance are altogether 
like P. spinulosa, Br., and the woody tissue presents a single 
series of minute glandular dots. The twigs are slender, the 
leaves nearly half an inch long, slightly curved, about two 
lines broad, of a pale green, somewhat glaucous underneath. 
I have been anxious so far as materials exist for that pur- 
pose to record in this Natural Order the names of those 
individuals’ who have done most for the Botany of this 
island. Since the days when Mr. Brown collected his extra- 
ordinary herbarium, and first brought to light a host of Tas- 
manian plants in the * Prodromus Flore Nove Hollandiæ,” 
there has been no more successful Botanist for the time than 
the late Mr. Lawrence, who commenced forming a herba- 
rium of the whole island, a work which Mr. Gunn has al- 
most concluded.

colony. 
This elegant tree, like its New Zealand congener, seldom 
exceeds 50-60 feet in height; the trunk is slender and quite - 
erect, very useful for small masts. The bark is also used to 
tan leather with, for which purpose it is well adapted. The 
pollen-grains of this species are similar to those of P. £r 
manoides; they are less curved, much broader th 
à Podocarpus, and also flatter and more transpar
