I am not aware whether fern trees exist in King's Island ; 

 if so, then likely out of the ferns and their close allies — known 

 to the number of fully 60 from Tasmania — many would 

 accompany the arborescent kind, together with the so-called 

 Pepper Tree, Sassafras, Musk Tree, Huon Pine, and a host of 

 other plants, occurring only in springy and shady glades. 

 It seems not even known yet whether any Casuarinas, the 

 "Wattle and Blackwood Acacias, the Oyster Bay Pine, and 

 Xanthorrhoeas extend to the island, nor have we learnt how 

 many species of Eucalyptus occur there. The Mistletoes, 

 advancing to the extreme South of Australia, may perhaps 

 exist in King's Island. Of about 50 Tasmanian kinds of 

 grasses, 60 of sedge-like plants, and 70 of orchids, many would 

 likely be found in an insular area of half a hundred miles in 

 length, containing doubtless great diversity of soil ; further 

 searches should therefore be instituted in various localities 

 and throughout all seasons, especially during the spring, and 

 the records on the Tasmanian flora would thus far also 

 become gradually completed in reference to the outlying 

 islands.
