Caltha introloba (F. v. M.). — This dwarfed, stemless herb 

 is restricted to the snowy regions at elevations of 5000

 High Plains; also at Mount Hothani, 6015 feet; Mount

Hibbertia stricta (R. Brown). — This widely-distributed

Hibbertia linearis (R. Brown). — Common along with H. 

 diffusa on the open sunny northern slopes of mica-

Hedycarya Cunninghami (Tulasne). — This is the " Rurnai "

Barbaraea vulgaris (R. Brown). — Frequent on damp culti- 

 vated ground, and on springy spots along the western 

 affluents of Livingstone Creek, on metamorphic-schist 

 formation; at elevations of 1600 to 3000 feet. 



Arabis glabra (Crantz). — At elevations of 2000 to 3000 feet

Violacke (De Candolle). 



Viola Caleyana (G. Don). — Common on Hinnomunjie Flat,

Hymenanthera Banksii (F. v. M.). — The marked difference 

 between the lowland and alpine form of this shrubby 

 species renders it an object of interest to the phyto-
