Up till now the furthest-south point at which any plant has been found is 78' 

 South Latitude and 162° East Longitude, at a height of 5,000 feet. The lichen 

 brought back from this point by SCOTT'S Antarctic Expedition of 1901 — 1904 was 

 Lecanora subfusca (L.) Ach. (DARBISH. Ant. Arct. p. 6). 



It may be briefly stated here that the localities enumerated above under Tierra

 under South Georgia are also to be classed as subantarctic, the rest being purely 

 antarctic.
