 Spicer. 



Fagus Chinnii. Lake Pedder, Johnston. 



VaUisneria spiralis, Linn. The Eiver Jordan, at Pontville, 

 W. W. Spicer. 



** Anacharis canadensis, Planch. Was first introduced into 

 the colony about the year 1862, when specimens were dis- 

 covered in the reservoir, supplying the basin in the Franklin 

 Gardens, Hobart Town, where they are still thriving. It has 

 now found its way to the Eiver Jordan, at Pontville, and will 

 no doubt soon be heard of in other localities. W. W. Spicer. 



Dipodium pimctatum, E. Br. Gould's Country, A. Simson. 



Pterostylis prtxcox, Lindl. Goshen, A. Simson, 



Caleana major, E. Br. George's Bay, A. Simson. 



Acianthus ersertus, E. Br. Gould's Country, A, Simson. 



Lyperanthus nigricans, E. Br. Gould's Country, A. Simson. 



Spiranthes Australis. South Esk, Johnston. 



Thehjmitra aristata. On the Derwent, W. W. Spicer ; Port 

 Arthur, J. Coverdale. 



Chiloglottis Gunnii. Eiver Picton, Johnston. 



Corysanthes pruinosa, Eich. Cunningham, in the New 

 South Wales magazine. No. 1 ; Lindl. gen. and sp. of archid., 

 pi. 393. This is the Tasmanian species, so well figured by 

 the late hon. W. Archer. To Mr. Eob. Fitzgerald, the 

 Deputy Surveyor-General of New South Wales, belongs the 

 credit of having first clearly distinguished C. pruinosa from 

 C. fimbriata in his fine work on Australian orchids. The 

 former species is now also known from Flinders' Island. 

 Whether more than one Corysanthes occurs in Tasmanian 

 territory remains to be ascertained, four occurring in New 

 South Wales. These minute and tender plants, while early 

 flowering in the season, are easily overlooked in the secluded 

 haunt, in which they delight to conceal themselves. 



Gastrodia sesamoides, between Circular Head and Arthur's 

 Eiver, F. v. M. ; Eiver Picton, Johnston. 



Caladenia congesta. Omitted as a species of doubtful value 

 from the census ; but the writer had recently an opportunity 

 to examine this plant from the mountains of the Murrum- 

 bidgee, where it was collected by Miss Chamberlin ; and as 

 the characteristics of the labellum seem not subject to any 

 great alteration, it will probably be best to admit the species. 



Patersonia glauca, E. Br., Gould's Country, A. Simson. 



U'lmodorum distichophyllum, Huon Plains and Lake Pedder, 

 Johnston.
