Cardamine radicata, J. Hook, in icon, plant, t. 882. Near 

 Lake Petrarch ; Hon. J. R. Scott. 



Drosera pygmcea, Cand. prodr. i, 317. Ascends the Alpine 

 elevations about Lake St. Clair ; Th. and B. Gulliver. 



Drosera hinata, La Bill. Nov. HoU. plant, spec, i, 78 t. 105. 

 Advances also to Alpine heights at Lake St. Clair. This and 

 the preceding species with numerous other Alpine plants 

 might be readily naturalized on the highland-moors of Britain.

Scleranthus hijlorus, J. Hook. fl. Nov. Zel. I. 74, King's

Olaytonia australasica, J. Hook, in icon, plant. 293 ; var.

JRicinocarpus pinifolius, Desf. in memoir, du musee Paris, 

 iii., 459, t. 22. Swanport ; Dr. Story. Mr. G. Bentham 

 mentions in the 6th volume of the Flora Austral., p. 135, as 

 Tasmanian ; on the authority of La Billardiere — Adriana 

 quadripartita (Gaudich Bot. Freycinet Voyage, 489 ; Croton 

 quadripartitum, La Bill, Nov. Holl. pi. sp., ii., 73, t. 223.) 

 But in La Billardiere's work several plants from the vicinity 

 of Cape Leuwin have been erroneously recorded as Tas- 

 manian, and as this Adriana is not foundagain in anylocalityin 

 Tasmania, visited by D'Entrecasteaux's expedition, it was most 

 likely obtained in West Australia. But the writer of these 

 lines has fully 20 years ago observed and recorded this 

 Adriana from Wilson's Promontory, and therefore a search 

 after the plant on the Tasmanian smaller islands in Bass's 

 Straits might not prove in vain. On the specific limits of the 

 Adriana some remarks were offered in the transact. Edinb. 

 Bot. Soc, vii., 481-482. Eicinocarpus major (Miill. Arg. 

 in Linnaea xxxiv., 59) is another dubious euphorbiaceous 

 plant, said to have been found by Yerreaux in Tasmania.

Eucalyptus ylohulus, La Bill, voy. i., 153, 1. 13. The geo- 

 graphic limits of this highly important tree, almost restricted 

 to Tasmania and Victoria, seem in the island yet imperfectly 

 known. It is according to Mr. Stephens confined to the S. 

 and S.E. districts, having its northern boundary about 

 Falmouth on the East Coast, and Spring Hill, near Oatlands, 

 on the eastern inland tracts, abounding between this and the
