through more extended searches there all the year round, although the number of 
absolutely new forms still to be brought to scientific light will probably prove very 
limited. But when in the progress of settlement all the interior tracts, and particularly 
also the most Northern portions of West Australia, shall be occupied and become 
thereby accessible to inquiries of science also, it will probably be found, that such an 
increase to our numeric lists of West Australian plants will take place as to demonstrate, 
that fully half of the many thousand different plants which constitute the natural 
vegetation of the Australian continent, are as indigenous also represented in some 
portion or the other of the wide West Australian dominions, rendering them in diver- 
sified floral treasures some of the richest of the Globe.
