this splendid plant, and to Mr. Gunn for magnificent specimens. It is known to very few of the inhabitants 

 of the colony, in consequence of the remoteness and inaccessible nature of the localities it inhabits. Amongst 

 the bushrangers it is called " cabbage- tree," and was always described by them as resembling an American aloe 

 placed on the top of a long pole. I shall have a further opportunity of making some remarks upon it in the 

 Flora of Tasmania.
