This paper completes Vol. i. ' Botan}^ of New South Wales,' 

 being botanical surveys of about 219,660 square miles comprising 

 two-thirds the area of the State, including the portion so seldom 

 visited by botanists on account of its great distance from Sydney. 

 The extent of these surveys is shown by the shaded portion of 

 the accompanying map (Plate i.). 



These surveys have added to the indigenous plants not hitherto 

 recorded for New South Wales one Order, Pedalinece, four 

 genera, Datura, Josephinia, Plagiosetnm, and Triumfetta, and 

 fifty-three species. I have described three of them, as they were 

 new to science. This does not take into account the large number 

 of species indigenous to this State which had not been hitherto 

 recorded from those areas. The number of indigenous species 

 for New South Wales now amount to 3,259. 



The accompanying table shows the percentage of the indigenous 

 Plianerogamia and the vascular Cryptogamia of the north-west 

 compared with the similar flora of New South Wales.
