it to the Antarctic regions; just as the endemic alpine Floras of Tasmania and Victoria are to an 
appreciable degree composed of altered lowland species, or vice versa. Taking for example such an 
eminently antarctic genus as Acama,\ which is not known in the northern hemisphere, except in 
America and the Sandwich Islands (but which is elsewhere in that hemisphere represented by 
Poterium and Sanguisorba), its distribution is very wide and disconnected, yet it is so universally 
present in all high southern lands, both under the forms of temperate, alpine, and antarctic species, 
that it is impossible to regard it under any other category than the vague one of antarctic. 
Premising that the so-called antarctic vegetation is that of the islands south of New Zealand, 
West Chili south of Cape Tresmontes, Fuegia, the Falklands and other islands south of them, 
Tristan d'Acunha, and Kerguelen's Land, I shall proceed to indicate which of the plants of these 
countries are actually present, or are represented by allied genera or species in Australia.— E pre-
