State botanists in our work, so that when finally adopted, the names may 

 have the widest possible range. As matters stand at present the final list 

 will, on receiving the approval of Mr. Maiden, the Government Botanist 

 of New South Wales, Mr. Rodway, the Government Botanist of Tasmania, 

 and Mr. Stoward, the Government Botanist of Western Australia, be 

 published in full and have ofticial recognition at least in Victoria, New 

 South Wales, Tasmania, and West Australia, and perhaps in the remaining 

 States also. 



As this work is not being done by one individual but by a committee, 

 it may perhaps be as well to state that the working committee by whom 

 the final decisions are made is constituted as follows: — 



Chairman: A. J. Ewart, D.Sc. ; Ph.D.; F.L.S. 

 Hon. Secretary: C. S. Sutton, M.B., Ch.B. 

 Committee : Messrs. F. G. A. Barnard, G. Coghill, J. A. Leach, 

 M.Sc, J. P. McLennan, F. Pitcher, P. R. H. St. John. 

 and J. R. Tovey. 



In addition, many valuable suggestions have been received from 

 Messrs. J. H. Maiden, W. R. Guilfoyle, H. B. Williamson, L. Rodway, 

 R. T. Baker, Maplestone, St. Eloy D 'Alton, ,and A. R. Vroland, also 

 from Dr. Morrison, the Rev. R. Thorn, the late Mr. F. M. Reader, and 

 from a large number of State school teachers. 



Opportunity has been taken at the same time to include data, wherever 

 such were available, in regard to any economic properties possessed by the 

 native plants mentioned on the present list, as these data may prove to 

 be of general use and may lead to further inquiry. 



It will be noted that no great departures have been made from the 

 system of naming and classification adopted by the late Baron von Mueller, 

 since to have made all the changes that may ultimately prove necessary 

 in the present list would have made it largely unintelligible to Victorian 

 botanists and plant lovers.
