Botanical Report by J. W. Audas. 



From Porepunkah, which is about 920 feet above sea level, 

 and the nearest railway station to the Eurobin Falls, there is 

 a fairly good road leading to the summit of the Buffalo Mountain, 

 some 3,500 feet higher. Along the Eurobin Creek, which runs 

 at the base of the range, fine specimens of Eucalyptus amygdalina 

 and E. viminalis were seen, some of which reached a height of 

 150 feet, with a circumference at the base of 25 feet. The fol- 

 lowing shrubs were also observed along the Buffalo Range : — 

 BcBckea crenatifolia, B. Gimniana, Trachymene Billardieri, Pros- 

 tanthera citneata, Lomatia longifolia, Micrantheum hexandrum, 

 Mirhelia oxylohioides, Kimzea corifolia, Pultencea mollis, P. fas- 

 ciculata, Hovea longifolia, Grevillea parvi flora, and Bauer a 

 rubioides. Only a small volume of water was coming over 

 the Buffalo Gorge, owing to the fact that the Government 

 authorities were engaged forming a lake, which is intended for 

 the purpose of providing ice-skating in winter. 



The township of Bright lies about ten miles to the east of the 

 Buffalo Mountains, and has an elevation of just 1,000 feet. The 

 eucalypts growing in the vicinity embrace the following 

 species : — E. amygdalina, E. Gunnii, E. viminalis, E. ruhida, 

 E. elcBophora, E. Stuartiana, E. pauciflora, and E. stelhdata. 

 the one most in evidence being E. viminalis, the Manna Gum, 

 which in nearly every instance is the host of the parasitical 

 Mistletoe, Loranthus pendidiis. Scarcely a single tree is free 

 from this pest ; several species are attacked by it, but in a lesser 

 degree than E. viminalis. 



Worthy of mention also are the wattles, which will be a mass 

 of glorious blossom in about a month's time. Two species are 

 very numerous — the Silver Wattle, Acacia dealhata, and the 

 Ovens Wattle, A. pravissima. The former, unfortunately, is 

 subject to infestation by a lichen, Usnea barbata, which may
