EXCURSION TO STUDLEY PARK 



Ten members attended the excursion to Studley Park on 17th 

 September, meeting at the Johnston-street Bridge, and 

 scrambling along the left bank of the river in the direction of 

 Richmond. The day was pleasant, and the flora sufticiently 

 varied to be interesting. On account of the steepness of the 

 river bank in this part, the vegetation remains in a condition 

 somewhat resembling its virgin state, and quite a number of 

 shrubs which one would hardly expect to find so close to the 

 city (just two and a half miles from the G.P.O.) were found 

 growing luxurianth'. The most i)revalent were, roughly in 

 order : — Dodoncea viscosa, with purplish-red masses of fruit ; 

 Knnzea pediincularis. Hymenanthera Banksii, Poniaderris apetala, 

 BuYsaria spinosa, Melaleuca ericifolia, Callistemon salignus. 

 Coprosma Billardieri, Myopornm viscosum. Acacia acinacea (in 

 great profusion). A. pycnantha, A. decitrrens, and Exocarpiis 

 ciipressiformis. Among smaller plants may be mentioned 

 Dianelia revoluta, Indigofera australis, Nicotiana suavculois, 

 and Clematis microphylla. 



At the kind invitation of Mr. Gabriel, the party climbed the 

 bank, passing the fish-ponds, and took tea at his house, over- 

 looking the footbridge leading to Victoria-street ; and, much 

 refreshed, afterwards crossed Studley Park-road into the Park 

 above the Falls, exploring another steep bank at the far end 

 of the reserve. Nothing, however, was noticed here that had 

 not been previously seen, and the party soon made its way 

 back to the city in good time! after spending a very jileasant 

 afternoon. — (\ S. Sutton.
