Daisy Tree {Euryhia lirata, D.C.) A shrub 8 to 12 feet 

 high, with rather narrow leaves 3 to 6 inches long, and a pro- 

 fusion of clustered, daisy-like flowers. 



Hairy Tetratheca (Tetratheca pilosa, Lab.) A hairy- 

 little plant, with pale or dark Hlac cruciform flowers, growing 

 from the axils of the leaves, on the upper part of the stems. 



Button G-rass (G-ymnoscTicenus splLceroceiiKaluSj Hook, fil.) 



There are other plants which might be enumerated, and 

 which may be much more characteristic of bad land, in some 

 localities, than those I have named. 



INFERIOR PASTURE LANDS. 



Native Lily (Dvplarrhena Morcea, Br.) 



She Oak (Casuarina quadrivalvis, Lab.) 



He Oak (Gasuarina suberosa, Otto et Dietr.) 



Native Cherry Tree (Exocarpus cupressiformis, Lab.) 



Peppermint Tree (Eucalyptus amygdalina, Lab.) 



White Gum Tree (Eucalyptus viminalis, Lab.). 



Black Wattle Tree (Acacia mollissima, Willd.) 



Indigo Plant (Indigofera Australis, Willd.) 



Clover Tree (Goodia lotifolia, Lab.). — A shrub 5 to 8 feet 

 high, with pinnated leaves and yellow flowers — similar in 

 appearance, especially when in flower, to a small Laburnum. 



Epacris or Heath (Epacris impressa, Lab.) — Stunted and 

 scattered plants. 



LoMATiA (Lomatia tinctoria, Br.) — A yellowish- green shrub 

 2 to 4 feet high, with deeply-cut leaves, often crowded at the 

 top of the stems, and rather large racemes of cream-colored 

 flowers, followed by pods which turn black after bursting and 

 remain thus a long time on their stalks. 



GOOD PASTURE LAND. 



Honeysuckle Tree (BanJcsia Australis Br.) 

 Silver Wattle Tree (Acacia dealhata, Lind.) 

 Curly White Gum Tree {Eucalyptus radiata, Sieb.). — 

 Known among sawyers, I believe, as a " bastard white gum." 

 The trunk is often twisted, the timber curly, and the branches 

 weeping. It may be distinguished from small specimens of 

 the Wliite Gum-tree — such as the Manna Gum-tree in the 

 Domain, Hobart Town — by the number of seed vessels being 

 5 to 8, with the valves not projecting. 



Wild Easpberry (Buhus macropodus, Ser.) 

 Prickly Beauty (PultenoRia juniperina, Lab.). A juniper- 

 like plant, 3 to 7 feet high, with small, prickly leaves, and 

 small yellow pea-flowers. 



Common Buttercup {Ranunculus lappaceas, Sm.) 

 Common Burr Accena Sanguisorhce, Yahl.) 

 Common Daisy {Brachycome decipiens, Hook, fil.) 

 Bachelor's Button {Craspedia Bichea. Cass.) 

 Native Eib Grass {Plantago varia^ Br.) This is the species 

 with long, narrow, sometimes toothed leaves, and long spikes 

 of flowers. 



Xerotes (Xerotes longifolia, Br.) Commonly but erro- 

 neously called " Sedges," vulgo " Sags," and sometimes
