II. Dammara, Lain. 1. D. australis, Lamb, the Kaudi, 
Coxodie, or Kauri Pine of New Zealand, grows on the mountainous 
regions in the Northern Island of that group. Mr. Hinds, in liis 
description of the vegetation of the Fejee Islands, mentions a 
species said to exist there. (Vide Lond. Journ. Bot. v. 1, p. 671.) 
? III. Juniperus, L. 1. J. uvifera, is described by Don as a 
native of Cape Horn. This, however, must be considered a very 
doubtful species. A second is mentioned by Mirbel, J. Capensis, 
Lam. 
IV. Thuja, L. This genus, in the Southern Hemisphere, 
belongs almost exclusively to South America. 1. T. Chilensis, 
Hook, (T. cuneata, Dombey mss. ? T. Andina, Poappig,) grows 
on the mountains of S. Chili, Valdivia, &c. 2. T. tetragona. 
Hook, is the famous “ Alerse” of Chili and of the Island of 
Chiioe.* 4. T. Doniana, Hook, is a native of the northern 
island of New Zealand. 
?V. Cupressus, L. 1 C. Africana, Mill, mentioned also by 
Mirbel, is probably a species of the following genus. 
VI. Pach yi.epis, Brongn. Three species are enumerated by 
Brongniart, who founded this genus.f 1. P. Commersoni, from 
Mauritius. 2. P. cupressoides , and 3. P. juniperoides, both from 
the Cape. The latter is doubtful, and perhaps not distinct from 
the former. Besides these there is another Cape plant in the 
Hookerian Herbarium, named Callitris stricta, Schlect. mss. 
(Dr&ge); but as the scales of this genus vary much in form with 
age, I could not pronounce the imperfect specimens distinct. Dr. 
Wallich has sent another Pachylepis from South Africa certainly 
distinct from P. cupressoides, which may however be theC. stricta. 
VII. Callitris, Vent. Of this genus there are probably at 
least twelve or fifteen individuals in Australia. The North African 
C. quadrivalvis, is still retained in Callitris, by M. Brongniart, 
who removes the S. African species to Pachylepis. I am, how¬ 
ever, inclined to think that the forms from these three widely 
separated localities will eventually prove to belong to one and the 
same genus. Spach more recently breaks up Callitris into three
