and their Habitats. 7 



Callistemon, the principal shrub vegetation fringing 

 the margin of the Cobungra, Bundara, and Big 

 Rivers ; at elevations of from 3000 to 4000 feet ; on 

 metamorphic and basaltic soils. Its strong orange 

 odour and fuchsia-like flowers render it easily 

 recognisable. 

 1. Z. Smithie (And.). — On moist heads of gullies along 

 the Dividing Range, at an elevation of 3000 to 

 4000 feet, it is most abundant. Its axillary 

 panicles of white scented flowers and trifoliate 

 lanceolar leaves at once distinguish it amid sur- 

 rounding vegetation; on Silurian soils princi- 

 pally. 



1. B. Algida (F.v.M.). — Abundant on the rocky ridges in- 



tersecting the Bogong High Plains; 5600 feet; on 

 basaltic formation. 



2. B. polygalifolia (Sm.). — Scrubby spurs of Dividing- 



Range, at head of Livingstone Creek and Victoria 

 River ; altered Silurian soils. Its palmately com- 

 pound leaves distinguish it ; the small white and 

 light pink flowers are scented. It ascends to 4000 

 feet. 



1. E. Crowea Saligna (F. v. M.). — Abundant on Mount 



Sisters, near Omeo Plains ; metamorphic granite 

 formation. Altitude, 3600 feet. 



2. E. myoporoides (D. C.) ; 3. E. umbellatus (Turc). — 



Both to be met with on Dividing Range, margin- 

 ing Omeo Plains ; on quartz porphyry formation ; 

 3000 to 4000 feet. 



No. 11 — Linile (De Candolle). 



Genus — Linum. 



1. L. marginale ( ). — Abundant on all soils (paleozoic 

 and igneous) during January ; ascends to 5000 

 feet. It has a tenacious bark, useful for paper 

 manufacture. 



No. 12 — Geraniace^e (A. L. de J.). 



Genera — Geranium and Pelargonium. 



1. G. dissectum (L.). — On Dividing Range, margining 

 Omeo Plains ; quartz porphyry formation, and near 

 Omeo on metamorphic schist soils ; between 2000 

 and 4000 feet.
