this order, whicli are growing in the Botanic Garden, and will 

 be described as they come into bloom. Amongst the Acotyle- 

 dons will be found several new Lichens, for the determination 

 and drawing of which I am indebted to Dr. Chas. Knight, a 

 Lichenologist of world-wide reputation. 



The list is further enriched with additional fungi, identified 

 by Mr, C. E. Broome, the celebrated Mycologist, and by the 

 enumeration of several plants extracted from Baron von 

 Mueller's " First Annual Supplement to the Systematic Census 

 of Australian Plants."
