Cryptocarya, of the Perseace, is common to New Zealand, South Africa, and South 
America. Of the Cypress sub-family of the Coniferee the genus Callitris is found in 
Africa, Madagascar, and Australia, and Fitzroya in Chili and Tasmania. Todea 
barbara occurs at the Cape of Good Hope and in Australia; Lomaria alpina at the 
Cape, Australia, and South America; Fuchsia and Passifora in New Zealand and 
South America.” Respecting the last-named genus, Passifora, Mr. Forbes might also
