Swanport. Cladium melanocarpimi, accepted on the 

 authority of R. Brown's Prodromus as a Tasnianian 

 plant, seems not to occur in the island. 

 Cladium tetraquetrum. — J. Hook, fl. Tasin., II. 95, 1. 149. 



To this is referable Lepidosperma tetragonuin, 

 Lepidosijerma concavum. — R. Br., pr. 234. 



This described with extreme briefness by Rob. Brown, 

 includes L. Sieberi. 

 Lepidosperma laterale. — R. Br., pr. 234, and L. Oldfielclii, J. 

 Hook, fl. Tasm. II. 91. t. 146 A, are both admitted by 

 Bentham (flor. Austral. VII. 389 et 393) unless the 

 former should prove referable to L. globosum (Labill. 

 I. 16 t. 14). 

 Garex acicularis. — Booth, in J. Hook, flor. Nov. Zeaknd, 

 I. 280, t. 63, 

 Bentham regards this distinct from C. Pyrenaica of the 

 Northern Hemisphere. 

 Carex paniculata. — L. sp.pl. edit., sec. 1383. 



As shown already in my vegetation of the Chatham Islands, 

 p. 57 (1864) C. appressa is merely a form of the European 

 C. paniculata. 

 Garex flava. — L. sp. pi. 975. 



Includes C. cataractae of R. Brown, the great similarity of 

 both being also noticed in the fragm. (viii. 251.) 

 Garex Bichenoviana. — Booth, in J. Hook, fl. Tasm., II. 101. 

 Acknowledged by Bentham (fl. Austr. VII. 446) as a 

 peculiar Tasmanian species only as yet known from 

 Woolnorth. 

 Eh'hartajuncea, Spreng. syst. II, 114 



An older appellation for E. tenacissima of Hendel. It may 

 here be observed that the true Stipa micrantha from 

 South East Australia apj^ears not to extend to Tasmania. 

 Agrostis scahra, Wield, spec plant I. 370 



This name was given already in 1797, as shown by General 

 Munro (in Benth. fl. Austral. VII. 576) to an American 

 grass, now found to be identical with R. Brown's A. 

 parviflora. 

 Hierochloe Fraseri, J. Hook, flor. antarctic I. 93. 



According to Bentham's views this is the Tasmanian species 

 recorded as H. alpina, and probably distinct from that of 

 the northern hemisphere. 

 Hemarthria compressa, R. Br. pr. 207. 



The H. uncinata proves, as long suggested by the writer, a 

 mere variety. 

 Gonferva homhycina, Ag. syst. alg. 83. 



In water reservoirs near Hobart Town. Rev. W. Spicer. 

 A large variety, allied to C. Sandvicensis of G-audichaud.
