The following is a list of plants noticed on Bimberi, and in 

 most cases also collected, above the 6,100 feet level, though doubt- 

 less several species were overlooked : — 



PoLYPODiACEiK : Polystichum aculeatum (a common fern in the 

 cold areas of Southern New South Wales). 



GRAMiNEiE : Poa ccespiiosa (Snow-Tussock, or Snow-Grass, in 

 flower all over the summit). 



RESTiONACEiE : Festuca Hookeriana, Hypolcena lateriflora (a 

 weak, straggling, wiry plant of a few feet high, growing in masses 

 in damp or swampy places, and slightly resembling Caiistis flex- 

 uosa, a common Sydney plant). 



ORCHiDACEiE : Thelymitra venosa (a blue Orchid). 



PROTEACEiE : O^ntes lancifolia, Grevillea aitstralis (a very nar. 

 row-leaved form. This is the only Grevillea which occurs in Tas- 

 mania, the genus being one which favours a warm climate). 



PiTTOSPORACEiE : Mariauthus procumhens. 



PoLYGALACEiE : C omesperma retusum. 



THYMKLiEACEiE : PimeUa ligustrina. 



MYRTACEiE : Eucalyptus coriacea (Snow-Gum), Callistemon 

 Sieberi (the flowering was just over), Bceckea Gunniana. 



Umbellifer^ : Aciphylla si77iplici folia. 



EPACRiDACEiE : Epacris paludosa, E. microphylla, Richca 

 Gunnii. 



Labiat^e : Prostanthera cuneata (with whitish flowers).

 Daisy), Brachycome scapiyera, B. discolor, Podolepis longipedata, 

 Leptorrhynchos squamatus, Helichrysiwi scorpioides, H. ledi- 

 folium, Erechtites quadrideutata (a broad-leaved form), Senecio 

 pectinatus, Microseris Forsteri. 



Thirteen species of ferns were found within the Territory, the 

 most of them being in sheltered portions of the mountain-slopes. 



Of the Graminese or grasses, twenty-one species were noticed, 

 four of which were naturalised. Probably several native species 

 escaped notice during my hurried visits. Boa ccespitosa, the 

 Snow-Grass or Snow-Tussock, is an interesting plant in view of
