50 CONTRIBUTION TO THE FLORA OF MOUNT PERRY, 
ORDER CYCADACE. 
Cycas media, R. Br, 
This graceful and interesting species is gradually disappear- 
ing from the district, a circumstance which I attribute to the 
destruction (1) of the cones by insects, (2) of the young leaves 
by marsupials, and (3) of whole plants, by boys, who often 
thoughtlessly cut them down, or otherwise injure them when 
they come in their way.
