Hovea longifolia ; and Boeckea gunniana and Grevillea australis, 

 both in bud, and Westringia senifolia and Drimys aromatica, in 

 leaf alone, were the only others identified. 



On the whole I am inclined to say that BuUer botanically 

 hardly repays a visit like other mountains, such as Bogong, 

 Buffalo, Hotham, the Grampians, or the Baw Baws, and although 

 the season was somewhat late, and my visit rather early, I think, 

 beyond the plants I have mentioned, would afford very little else 

 to the botanist coming to it even at Christmas time. 



As, notwithstanding the difficulties we had encountered, only 

 six hours had been occupied in our journey up, we felt we could 

 afford to waste a little further time before starting back, and 

 accordingly spent it exploring the spot most likely to furnish 

 interest — the scrub at the springs where we had left the horses^ 

 but, alas, without finding anything not already seen. So, picking 

 up the trailing bridles of our horses, we made the best of our way 

 back, noticing on the way, in addition to those plants already 

 mentioned, Leptospermum lanigerum and scoparium, Lomatia 

 longifolia, Pimelea axiflora, and Cymhonotus lawsonianus, among 

 others, and only pausing to gather several specimens of Gentiaua 

 saxosa, bearing nearly white flowers, a single specimen of Gas- 

 trodia sesamoides, Sahcenus apogon, and Carex ccespitosa, arriving 

 back at our starting point after a 12-hours' absence, if not with a 

 well-filled portfolio, at least well pleased with a very delightful 

 day, and with a very satisfactory appetite for our evening meal.
