FLORA. OF TASMANIA. 



[European Plants 



in any truly tropical climate, and a few only enter the temperate plains of north-western India. All 

 of them are temperate plants in Australia, and several of them subalpine or alpine ; few inhabit 

 south-west Australia, and as a whole they are characteristic of the coolest parts of south-east 

 Australia and Tasmania, the latter island alone possessing 28 out of the 37. New Zealand possesses 

 15 of them, and the Antarctic regions 13; but few are South African. 



It is a singular fact that some of the best-marked of these plants do not inhabit any part of 

 India, except the extreme north-western Himalaya, and others occur nowhere in the old world 

 between northern Europe or Asia and Australia; one, Alchemilla vulgaris, though not Himalayan, 

 is found on the Nilgiri mountains and those of Ceylon. 



Neither New Zealand, temperate South America, nor South Africa, present so large an assem- 

 blage of well-marked European species, but these countries and the Antarctic islands contain several 

 that are not found in Australia; and since we must look to one general cause for this southern 

 migration of northern forms into all the south temperate lands, I shall add a list of all other such 

 genera and species as are known to me.
