7.— BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THB<^«EMISTRY OF 



INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIAN VEGETABLE 



PRODUCTS. 



By J. H. Maiden, F.L.S., F.C.S., Curator of the Technological 

 Museum, Sydney. 



INTRODUCTORY NOTES. 



The genera have been arranged as in the " Census of Australian 

 Plants," by Baron von Mueller, but differences of synonymy 

 between that work and the " Flora Australiensis " have been 

 noted. The New Zealand species have been placed in the same 

 classification. 



A few references to chemical reseai-ches on non- Australian 

 species belonging to well-known Australian genera have been 

 given, as they may prove suggestive. Such references are marked 

 with an asterisk, and no attempt has been made to give a 

 complete bibliography of them.
