An asterisk signifies that the plant is not included in Prof. Trail's 

 list, or is not given in Topographical Botany, while a dagger 

 means that the plant is possibly introduced. 



A considerable number of plants are still awaiting critical examina- 

 tion, and on these I hope to report at no distant date. 



The Rev. H. J. Riddelsdell was my companion on the above 

 expedition, and I owe him many thanks for assistance.
