306 A LIST OF THE INDIGENOUS PLANTS OF THE MUDGEE DISTRICT. 



The last is, I believe, the only order in this district with more 

 species than in Sydney. 



Among the orders not mentioned above, the following are more 

 strongly represented in Cumberland in the proportions indicated. 

 RuTACE^ ... ... ... ... 32 to 5 



Labiate 

 euphorbiace^ 

 e.hamnace.e 

 Sterculiace^ 

 Lauraceje ... 



24 to 9 

 21 to 9 

 11 to 3 

 10 to 1 

 7 to 1 



The following species are extremely local in their occurrence 

 here : — Plttosporum undulatum. Acacia amcena, Eucalyptus glob- 

 ulus, Sambucus xanthocarjm, Solanum stelligerum, S. campanu- 

 latum, Nicotiana suaveolens, Woodwardia caudata at Mulla- 

 muddy ; Pittosjyorum phillyroides, Geijera salicifolia, and Prostan- 

 thera linearis at Two Mile Flat ; Acacia lunata, Corysanthes 

 Hamiltonii, Pterostylis striata and Caladenia arenaria, in the Beau- 

 desert Hills ; Baeckia Cunninghamii and Pterostylis clavigera at 

 Biraganbil ; Dodonoia lobulata, Exocarpus strictus, and Grevillea 

 Jlorihunda at Cullenbone ; and Acacia triptera and Melaleuca nodosa 

 at Reedy Creek. Cooyal has about 92 species not found else- 

 where in the district. 



Doubtless there are many more species both at Cooyal and all 

 over tlie district which T have not succeeded in collecting, but if 

 I should meet with such I will include them in a supplementary 

 paper at some future time. 



If any member of the Linnean Society would compile a list of 

 the indigenous plants round Wellington and Dubbo, it would be 

 very interesting to compare with the above, and would undoubtedly 

 be of great service in making out the geographical range of Aus- 

 tralian plants. More would be learned from a comparison of two 

 local floras not far removed, than in the comparison of two with 

 such a wide gap between them as those of Cumberland and 

 Mudgee.
