Alge, by W. H. Harvey.) FLORA OF TASMANIA. 325 
Disrris. Western Australia. Port Phillip Heads. 
A beautiful species, elegantly perforated like an 4garum. I first found it in Western Australia, and afterwards 
collected it in greater plenty at Port Phillip Heads. It appears to be of very rare occurrence in Tasmania. (Local 
name, ** The Holy Coat.”) 
2. Kallymenia Tasmanica (Harv. MSS.). 
Has. Georgetown, JF. H. H. 
Fragments of a Kallymenia of large size, resembling X. Harveyana, are not uncommon at Georgetown, but I 
have as yet seen no specimen sufficiently perfect to enable me to characterize the species. One of my specimens is 
18 inches broad, about 12 inches long, broadly foliaceous, lobed and lacerate at the margin; another, of somewhat 
smaller size, is deeply laciniate, and divided into numerous narrow lobes and segments. There seems to be no very 
definite outline. "There is a short stipes, soon widening into the cuneate base of the frond. The colour is a deep 
crimson. The substance is soft, and the plant adheres firmly to paper.

A very fine species, sometimes 18 inches long, three or four times pinnate.

I have no specimen of this plant, which was described some years ago from a specimen in Herb. Hooker, 
which I have not recently seen. It may possibly be referable to G. flabellata.

Fronds 3-4 inches high, scarcely a line in diameter, strongly compressed, two-edged, excessively branched in 
a repeatedly, but very irregularly, pinnate manner; all the branches and their divisions distichous, and very patent 
or divaricate. In young specimens the ramuli are strictly subulate, but in older examples they are frequently fili-
