also in Tasmania along with the Cyathea. The latter is very 

 remarkable for its great height, combined with extreme 

 slenderness of stem and paucity of fronds. Its occurrence in 

 Tasmania was indicated some time since by the writer from a 

 specimen kindly sent by Eonald Gunn, Esq., in Mr. Thomas' 

 creditable little book printed for Tasmanian tourists. Mr. 

 Scott found the Cyathea to have a stem 40 feet high. The 

 species may have been passed in other parts of Tasmania and 

 Australia in dense fern groves of the ranges. Its discovery 

 in Tasmania came not altogether unexpected.

 remarked, that the name Hutchinsia, bestowed by Bishop 

 Agardh on this genus in 1817, should be restored, inasmuch 

 as those species of Eob. Brown's cruciferous genus, which 

 have accumbent cotyledons are referable to Thlaspi, while all 

 those with incumbent cotyledons, belong to Capsella.
