158 CONTRIBUTION TO A SOUTH QUEENSLAND FLORA, 



territory without reaching Brisbane. Some of our northern 

 forms of vegetation are here too localized. Thus it is like a place 

 of meeting of the Northern and Southern Flora. There are few 

 which are so local, as to have no representatives either South or 

 North. From the few facts presented by the habitat of these 

 plants, there is no room to make an attempt at generalization. Any 

 particular remark which might be deemed worthy of notice will 

 be appended after each plant. No new species are here described ; 

 nor is it likely that we shall find many new ones in this locality. 

 The South Queensland Flora is not isolated, since the South 

 and North Flora meet here, and these being already known from 

 the thorough search instituted elsewhere, little remains unknown. 

 Neither are all the species here mentioned, which while 

 existing elsewhere belong likewise to our Flora. Many in- 

 accessible places are as yet unexplored, many scrubs are not as 

 yet penetrated, many heights are not scaled, many swamps have 

 not been waded through. If it falls to my lot to come by them, 

 I shall present another handful of them, and thus help to a 

 compilation of the Flora of this locality. 



Dilleniace^. 



Hihlertia dentata, E. Br. 



A southern plant, which extends from Victoria through New 

 South Wales into Queensland. Only very sparingly to be found 

 in South Queensland. The northernmost station in which I 

 have met it is Tambourine mountain, thirty miles south of 

 Brisbane ; it is more frequently to be seen as we proceed further 

 South. It flowers very early in spring. 



Crucifer^e. 



Cardamine stylosa, DC. 



Like the preceding, a southern plant ; it is observed from 

 the eastern coast of Tasmania, through Victoria and New South 

 Wales. Its entrance into Queensland was first noticed by Mr.
