THE WEEDS OF NEW SOUTH WALES. 19 



It is, of course, very difficult to prepare a proclaimed list of weeds to which 

 no objection can be taken. Australia is a continent of three millions of 

 square miles, and in her borders we may have severe frosts and tropical 

 conditions, droughts, and a superabundance of rain, while the soils vary 

 from the richest to the very reverse.
