228 Alpine ^iiryhia. of the Aiidralian Continent, 



colony of Victoria I explicated those forms wliicli seemed 

 new, whilst I pointed in my annual reports to those iden- 

 tical with species of Van Diemen's Land or New Zealand, or 

 of both conjointly. 



With a view of completing gradually those fragmentary 

 notes, I beg to transmit to the Royal Society of Tasmania, 

 accompanied with specimens, the definitions of two fine 

 Eurybise peculiar to the Australian alps, being under the 

 impression that the plants comprehended in this interesting 

 genus are particularly valuable to the botanists of Tasmania,, 

 since the Eurybise-species are so beautifully developed in 

 that Island.
