Bimberi Peak. — Writing from memory, the summit of this 

 granite-mountain is approximately a quarter of a mile long, by 

 about 200 or 300 yards wide, the highest point being 6,264 feet 

 above sea-level. 



On viewing the flora of this elevated spot on the 15th January, 

 1912, the feature which impressed me most was the high colour- 

 ing of the flowers and their great numbers. Masses were to be 

 seen of flowering examples of Brachycome scapigera (a Yellow 

 Daisy), and these were blended with others of Senecio, Podolepis, 

 and Helichrysum, the hill being charmingly crested and bright- 

 ened with a profusion of yellow and white, distributed amongst 

 a groundwork of countless, graceful, grey flowers of the Snow 

 Grass. 



The only species of Eucalyptus found on the summit was F. 

 coriacea (No. Si70), occurring as spreading, dwarfed trees of from 

 1 to 20 feet high, and flowering, the branches being intensely 

 glaucous. This species grows at a slightly higher level on 

 Kosciusko, but it is doubtful if any other Eucalypt grows at an 

 elevation exceeding that of Mount Bimberi. This was also the 

 only Eucalyptus found on the summits of Tidbinbilla and Coree. 

 Helichrysum ledifolium was seen only on the summit, and this 

 species, which occurs in Tasmania, had not been previously re- 

 corded for New South Wales.
