Naturalised Plants. 



No serious attempt has yet been made to collect the naturalised plants of the

 more are casually mentioned in Kirk's papers or in other communications dealing 

 with the flora. From these references and from information supplied to me by 

 various members of the expedition I have compiled the following list : —
