South-east and South-west Australia, in western South America, in the 
AntarcticIslands, and in Tasmania ; but “is more abundant in New Zea- 
land than in any other part of the globe ;’* the six species found in Tas- 
_ mania are all natives of New Zealand. Haloragis, is found in South-east 
Australia, Tasmania and Juan Fernandez. Jfetrosideros,in South Chili, the 
Capeand Australia. Leptospermum,in South-east Australia and Tasmania. 
Myrtus in Chili and at Cape Horn,  Afontia fontana, the only plant of 
this genus, is also abundant at Cape Horn, Kerguelen’s Land, the Antarctic 
Islands and Tasmania. Weinmannia, at the Cape, Madagascar, the 
Isle of Bourbon, Tahiti, and South Chili. Zigustiewm and Angelica, 
several speciesin the Antarctic Islands. Panax.—Our New Zealand species 
have close alliance with species in the Antarctic Islands and Chili ; one 
small species alone of this genus is found in Tasmania, the only repre- 
sentative in that island of the natural order (Araliacee) to which it 
belongs! of which order also, only 8 or 10 species are found in 
Australia! Meryta, a singular genus of only 4 or 4 species, two 
of which are found in Norfolk Island, and one in Tahiti. The fine 
Composite genera, Olearia and Celmisia, are also found in Australia and 
Tasmania ; the latter genus, however, so well developed in New Zea- 
land, is only feebly so by a single species in each of those two countries. 
Of the smaller Composites, Lagenophora, a small genus, is also found 
in Antarctic America, the Falkland Islands, Australia and Tasmania. 
Abrotanella is confined to New Zealand, Tasmania, the Antarctic 
Islands, Fuegia, and Kerguelen’s Land ; and Microseris, a genus of only 
two species, is found in Tasmania and West Chili. Olea has a closely 
allied species in Norfolk Island, and others at the Cape, Mauritius, and 
Bourbon. Sapota costata is also found in Norfolk Island. orstera is 
confined to New Zealand, Tasmania, and Fuegia, Dracophyllum, so 
well developed in New Zealand, extends south to the Antarctic Islands, 
east to the Chatham Islands, and north to New Caledonia ; one species 
is also found in New South Wales. The large tropical genus Myrsine, 
containing above 80 species, of which 50 are Brazilian and Indian, and 
30 insular,—from the West India Islands to the Sandwich Islands and 
Borneo, and southwards in Norfolk Island, New Zealand, and the An- 
tarctic Islands, is not found in Tasmania, (where there are no plants of 
the whole natural order,) and has only three species in Australia. 
Geniostoma, a small and wholly insular genus of only 3 species, one 
of which is found in the Isle of Tanna, and another in the Isle of
