tain places dense forests of these valuable trees occur. In ad- 
dition, there are several other Myrtaceous trees and beautiful 
flowering shrubs. The genus Acacia furnishes fifteen species, and 
several of them attain large proportions. Shrubby Leguminose are 
fairly numerous, and many exotic species, perennial and annual, 
have become acclimatised, and now are apparently wild. The 
white clover (Trifolium repens, Linn.) is a very common plant in 
most of the pastures. Composite are well represented, and in 
spring time a great deal of the country is covered with these 
beautiful flowers, which make a grand floral display. Species 
of the genera Olearia, Brachycome, and Helichrysum are fairly 
abundant, and many exotic species of this order have established 
themselves almost all over this area. Hpacridee are represented 
by several genera, and the same may be said of Labiata. Several 
genera of Proteace@ are conspicuous in many places, but singular 
to say, that of forty-three species of Grevillea recorded for New 
South Wales, only one up to the present has been found in New 
England. Huphorbiacee comprise a larger proportion of the 
indigenous flora than one would expect to ‘find in such a climate. 
Amongst the Monocotyledone@ the genera Dendrobium, Diuris, 
Prasophyllum, Pterostylis, and Caladenia of Orchide@ are par- 
ticularly well represented. Under Liliacee are arranged man 
genera, and several beautiful flowering species are found both on 
the mountains and in the valleys. Cyperacee@ are numerous 
almost all over this area, whilst Graminee are particularly well 
represented. Species of the genera Panicwn, Andropogon, 
Deyenaxia, Danthonia, and Eragrostis are growing in most of 
the pastures. The grasses of New England are of a rich and 
varied character, and have a high reputation amongst stock- 
owners. Several exotic species have become acclimatised, and 
may be collected in many places. <Acotyledonew are repre- 
sented by arborescent ferns, and many species of the genera 
Pteris, Aspidiuwm, Asplenium, Polypodium, &e. The census 
that was prepared of the fiora of New England includes many 
plants not hitherto recorded from that portion of New South 
Wales, and there is little doubt that when many of the deep 
gorges and other almost inaccessible places are botanically ex- 
plor ed new plants will be found. The list included all the known 
Phanerogamia and the vascular, but not cellular, Cryptogamia. 
There is an excellent and an almost unexplored field for the 
cryptogamic botanist in New England. The Muse: and Fungi 
are numerous, and the Lichens include such genera as Collema, 
Cladonia, Usnea, Parmelia, Physcia, Lecidea, tbe As this was 
the first census of the flora of New England, the writer hoped it 
would be found useful to Australian botanists, and that it would 
stimulate others to attempt similar productions in different por- 
tions of this continent, where the indigenous vegetation showed 
a character distinct from that of the surrounding districts. The
