Tetragonia expansa, Murr. Dog Island : T. K.

Celmisia lindsayi, Hook.f. The reputed Lake Harris station 

 for this fine plant is very doubtful indeed, the plant being 

 purely littoral. In "crevices of the trap rocks at the 

 Nuggets," the specimens are small, sometimes not more 

 than 3m.-4in. high, but on the tops of the cliffs at the 

 back of the pilot's house, Catlin's River, it forms huge 

 masses 6ft. -8ft. in diameter or more, with the branches stout 

 and woody at the base. Probably common on the north 

 side of Foveaux Strait. One of the most beautiful species 

 of the genus.
