Let us now take the Tasmanian flora as a representative of the 

 vegetation of South-east Australia : 



SPECIES. GEXEEA.

5 Orchidea) 71 . . 27

2 Graminea) 42 . . 17

10 Bubiacese 14 .. 5 



8 Euphorbiaceae 10 .. 9 



Here the same orders have the position very much altered, and 

 some cannot be considered so representative or characteristic as 

 Goodeniacece, sp. 13, gen. 6; TkymeUce, sp. 18, gen. 3 ; UmbeUiferce, 

 sp. 21, gen. 12; SorophularincB, sp. 18, gen. 8; Zabiatce, sp. 14, 

 gen. 8. The same orders at Brisbane are only poorly represented. 

 GoodeniaceceksLSS]). 11, gen. 5; Thi/melece, sp. 4, gen. 2; Umbelliferce, 

 sp. 14, gen. 8 ; Scrophularince, sp. 8, gen. 7 ; Labiatce, sp. 9, gen. 7. 

 Some of all the preceding are introduced. 



On the other hand we have the following unexceptionally 

 common Indian orders represented in the Brisbane flora. Anonacece 

 Menisjjermece, Celastrinece, Melastomacece, Araliacece, Myrsinece, 

 Acanthacece, Dioscoridew, which are entirely absent from the 

 Tasmanian flora.
