Donatio, novcezelandiis, H., whose dense green cushions are 

 exactly like Abrotanella Jvrsterioides, H., so common on 

 Mount Wellington, is very abundant throughout these ranges. 

 This plant has a much wider Tasmanian distribution than has. 

 hitherto been recorded. It extends from Cradle Mountain to 

 La Perouse, and from the Hartz to Mount Reid. 



Archeria serpillifolia, H., appears at the back of the Calf. 



Trochocarpa disticha, Spreng., T. gunnii,, P. v. M., and 

 Prionotes cerinthoides, are very abundant. 



Richea pandanifolia, H, is also very abundant, and R. 

 milligani, P. v. M., occurs in quantity in the dip between 

 Hartz and Adamson's. 



Dracophyllum milligani, H., is tolerably common at the 

 back of the Calf. By some mistake Bentham records this as 

 attaining the height of Richea pandanifolia, and the Bev. 

 Spicer, in his handbook, refers to the plant being erect, and 3 

 to 49 feet high. The habit of the plant is creeping, sub- 

 terranean, sending up flowering branches that reach a height 

 of 1 to 4 feet. 



Cenarrhenes nitida, Lab., and Agastachys odorata, E. Br., are 

 very common. 



Arthrotaxis selaginoides, Dou., occurs sparingly on the 

 Harfz and the northern spur of Adamson's ; but in the latter 

 locality there are very many old dead stems, the remains of a 

 forest that was destroyed many a long year ago. The oldest 

 inhabitant says it was due to an extraordinarily hard winter. 



Microcachrys tetragona, H, Podocarpus alpina, R. Br., and 

 Phyllocladus rhomboid 'alls, Rich., are the only other conifers 

 observed. 



Milligania densiflora, H, is very common, and nearly re- 

 places the more widely distributed Astelia alpina, B. Br. 



Milligania stylosa, P. v. M., occurs on the eastern side of 

 Adamson's. The perianth segments are quite 4 to 5 lines 

 long. In the original description they are recorded as about 

 2 lines. 



Juncus capillaceus, Hook, forms dense patches. 



Centrolepis monogyna, Hook, also is most abundant, at least 

 on Adamson's. 



Gaimardia fitzgeraldi, P. v. M. et B., which has hitherto 

 only been found sparingly on Mount Geikie by W. Pitzgerald,
