Of the tropical Australian plants nearly 500, included under 273 genera, are either identical 

 with continental or insular Indian species, or are so very closely allied to them as to require a further 

 examination to distinguish them.* To make this list more useful, I have given the extra- Australian 

 and extra-Indian distribution of the species : — 



Ulenispermeas. 

 Stephania hernandifolia (Africa). 



Nympli(Baeem. 

 Xelumbium speciosutn, Willd. (Afr., Eu., Am. ?). 

 Brasenia peltata, Pwsh (Xorth America). 



Cruciform. 



Xasturtium terrestre, Br. (Eur., Afric. Amer.) . 

 Senebierat integrifolia, DC. ? 



Capparideee. 



Polanisia viscosa, DC. (Africa, America). 

 Capparis sepiaria, L. 



Droseracece. 

 Drosera Burmanni, VaJil (Africa). 

 Drosera Finlaysoniana, Wall. 



Tiolaeeoe. 

 Ionidium sufl'ruticosum, Gvng. (Africa). 



Polygahce. 

 Poly gala arvensis, L. (.Africa). 

 Polygala crotalarioides, Ham. 

 Polygala Japonica, Th. 

 Polygala leptalea, DC. (Africa). 

 Polygala rosmarinifolia. TV. 8f A. (Africa). 



* 1 must caution my readers that this catalogue, being a first attempt, does not pretend to anything like 

 absolute accuracy : it enumerates Australian species which a closer examination may probably prove to be different 

 from Indian, and omits other plants that will be found eventually to be common to these countries. I have had no 

 materials of any consequence to help me, but such as the herbarium affords ; and I have had, for almost ever} 7 species 

 enumerated, to examine a very extensive suite of specimens often from various parts of the world. To render such 

 a list worthy of as much confidence as is attainable in the present state of specific botany, would be a work of years. 



t Found on Cato Keef, where Plinders's ships were wrecked ; also in China, and believed to be the S. integrifolia 

 of Madagascar.
