The most curious point in this list is the number of European species it contains, amounting to 

 seventeen, of which most are British ; there are besides two other species which inhabit the north 

 temperate zone of the New World, Triglochin triandrum and Crantzia lineata ; Apium austra/e is in 

 some of its states with difficulty distinguished from A. graveolens. 



The genera that are most characteristic of the Antarctic regions amongst them are, — Colobaa- 

 thus, Acana, Donatio:, Nertera, Forstera, Leptinella, Ourisia, Drapetes, Fagus, Oreobolus, and Carpha. 

 Only one {Lomatia) can be said to betray any generic affinity between the peculiar Flora of Australia 

 and the Antarctic regions ; though Forstera, as belonging to StyUdiece, may be classed with Austra- 

 lian representatives.
