Stray Notes 

 from the Tropical West Australia. 



By 

 C. H. Ostenfeld. 



1 he flora of the tropical part of West Australia is — as 

 mentioned in the Introduction (p. 3) 1 — not well known. While 

 the flora and vegetation of the extra-tropical, south-western part 

 have been investigated by many botanists, no professional bota- 

 nist has explored that part of W. A. which lies north of the tropic 

 of Capricorn. 



Our main special sources for the knowledge of this flora are 

 some plant lists published by the late F. v. Mull'er 2 on the ma- 

 terial brought home by the late Sir John Forrest from his 

 audacious exploration journeys. Of course, during such expedi- 

 tions not much attention can be paid to botanical collecting, and 

 it is really admirable how much Sir John Forrest did do in the 

 way of securing herbarium specimens.
