Drimy8, a small genus of only three species, one of which, the celebrated 
Winter's Bark (D. Winteri), is confined to Fuegia, and another has 
recently been found so far north as the alpine mountains of Borneo ; 
but the New Zealand plant, (D. axillaris) is very closely allied to a 
kindred plant much nearer home (one of another very small genus of 
two or three species,) the Tasmania aromatiea of Tasmania. Ilymman- 
ihera , (a genus of only four species,) has a species in New Zealand, one 
in Norfolk Island, another in Tasmania, and another in Australia. Pittos- 
porum , has about a dozen species in Australia, and one in Tasmania, 
but “the maximum of this genus will probably be found in the Pacific 
Islands."* Colobanthus Billardieri , is also found in Tasmania and 
Campbell's Island. Playian thus has a few species in New Holland and 
Tasmania. E lew car pus has several species in tropical India and the 
Pacific Islands, and one species in New South Wales. Aristotelia has 
species in Chili, and one in Tasmania. Pemiantia, a genus of only 
three species, one of which ( corynibosa ) is in New Zealand, one in Nor¬ 
folk Island, and one on the coast of West Australia. Alectryon excclsum 
is said (by D’Candolle, with some degree of doubt) to have a single 
allied species in New Holland — Dysoxylum (Hartighsea), has a species 
in Norfolk Island, and (perhaps) another on the east coast of New Hol¬ 
land. Pelargonium clandestinum is also found in Tasmania, Tristan 
d’Acunha, and the Cape; to which countries this extensive genus is 
almost wholly confined. Oxalis Magellanica is also found in Tasmania 
and Fuegia. Coriaria , two, at least of its species, are common in south 
Chili. Pomaderris has several species in New Holland and Tasmania, 
j Discaria, a small genus, is found in South America, Australia, Tasmania, 
and the Gallapago Islands. Clianthus , another small genus, is only 
again met with in Norfolk Island and New Holland. Edwardsia 
( Sophora) grandijlora, is common in Chili, Chiloe, and Juan Fernandez; 
but, curiously enough, the genus is not found in Tasmania or Australia, 
where plants of the same natural order are so very common ; this small 
genus only possesses some six or seven species, two of which, according 
to LVCandolle, are confined to the Isle of Bourbon. A cana has two 
species in Tasmania and Australia, (one of them being the common New 
Zealand one,) and several in South America, and in the Antarctic and 
Kerguelen’s Islands. Fuchsia , a large genus; yet, out of New Zea¬ 
land, is only found in South America, from Mexico to the Straits of 
Magellan. Epilobium, an extensive European genus, is also found in 
Flora Tasmania, vol. I., p. 88.
