JEpacris acuminata^ Benth. Flor. Austr. iv. 240. New Nor- 

 folk ; Mt. Wellington; N. W. Bay; Gunn and J. Hooker. 



Ricliea sjjrenr/eloides, F. M. Fragm. vi. 68. Mt. Field East, 

 3-4000'. Seldom above 3' high. Corolla yellowish-white. 



Ricliea acerosa, F. M. Fragm. vi. 69. Mt. Field East, 

 3-4000', on Alpine flats. A shrub l|-3' high. Corolla nearly 

 white. 



Richea scoparia, J. Hook, in Lond. Journ. of Bot. vi. 273. 

 Mt. Field East. 



Ricliea Gtmnii, J. Hook, in Lond. Journ. vi. 273. Mt. 

 Field East. 



Ricliea dracoph/IIa, Br. prodr. 555. Lake Fenton. 



Ricliea iDandamfolia, J. Hook. Fl. antarct. i., 50. Under the 

 shelter of the highest alpine ridges of Mt. Field East, at 

 4,800' and descending to 4000' on the slopes towards Lake 

 Fenton. This magnificent plant is said to occur also on the 

 back parts of Mt. Wellington, but possibly Dracophyllum 

 Milligani, which attains on Mt. La Perouse a height of 40', 

 may have been confused with this Eichea, both being so 

 similar in habit. I noticed on Mt. Field stems clothed to 

 the length of 12 feet, with the very aged leaves and panicles, 

 which thus are shown to be sometimes persistent for many years. 

 The auxiliary inflorescence is remarkable. The flowers 

 occur as often brilliantly red as white, and in all intermediate 

 shades. Mess. Eayner contend that they had seen this Eichea 

 attaining a height of about 70 feet in the rich alpine valleys 

 of the Grordon Eiver. 



Fernettya Tasmanica, J. Hook, in Lond. Journ. of Bot. vi., 

 268. At Mount Field East, from 3000' to 4000' elevation. 



Solatium vescum, F. M. in Transact. Vict. Inst. 1855, 69. 

 King's Island ; also towards the Eussell's Falls. Probably 

 hybrids between this species and S. avidilare may occur. It 

 produces occasionally white flowers. 



Ourisia integrifolia, Br. pr., 439. On the highest alpine 

 brooks of Mt. Field East sparingly, but on the summit of 

 Mt. Wellington frequently occurring. The habitual aspect 

 of this neat plant is almost that of a G-eutian. It attains a 

 height of fully six inches, with occasionally three pairs or 

 whorls of cauline leaves. Corolla pure white. 



Gratiola nana, Benth. in Cand. prodr. x., 404. Mt. Field
