The species of this order are for the most part natives of the 
tropics, but, in genera not extending to Australia, they are found 
in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. In 
Australia the species are more numerous within the tropics, but 
a few occur in Victoria and South Australia, whilst tvfo (^Dodoncea 
vucosa and 1). ericifolia) extend to Tasmania, D. ericifolia being 
limited to that island. According to the Census of Baron Mueller, 
there are 16 genei’a, including 102 species, of the order in 
A ustralia ; but only three of the genera are represented in W. 
Australia, viz., Ueterodendron, Diplopeltis, and Bodoncea, though 
it is probaVjle that, as the tropical parts become better known, 
others may be discovered. The genera with the respective species 
are thus enumerated in the Census : — Cardiospermum, 1 •, Gan-j- 
phyllutn^ 1 j Atalaya, 6 ; Diploglvttis, 1 ; Erioglonmm, 1 ] Castano- 
spora, 1 ; Allophyllus, 1 ; Cupania, 23 ; Nephelium, 12 ; Hetero- 
dendron, 2 ; Uarpullia, 4 ; Akania, 1 ; Diplopeltis, 2 ; Dodonaa, 
42; Distichostemon, 1; and Blepharocarya, 1. The species are 
disti'ibuted in the following order : — Queensland, 61 ; N. S. 
Wales, 40; W. Australia, 19; N. Australia, 19; S. Australia, 
1 1 ; and Victoria, 8. 
In N. S. Wales the following genera are thus I'epresented : — 
Atalaya, 3 .species ; Diploglottis, 1 ; Cupania, 8 ; Nephelium, 5 ; 
Ueterodendron, 2; Harpullia, 3; Akania, 1; Dodonma, 17. Of 
these, however, the larger species do not extend far beyond the 
northern borders of the colony — Cupania semiglauca, F.v.M.,
