Abstract

In the following pages the first part of a statistic essay on
Tasmanian plants is submitted to the Royal Society. This
portion of the essay is limited to a list of those plants which
hitherto have become known from the main island and the
smaller isles under its political jurisdiction, as far as Di- and
Mono-cotyledoneae and Ferns are concerned. The arrangement
is effected chiefly in accordance with the Candollean
system, which in most respects represents that of Jussieu in a
reversed series. But the apetalous orders of Jussieu or the
Monochlamydeae of Candolle have been distributed, with the
exception of the amentaceous orders, in the other large
systematic divisions, and thus several ordinal groups of plants,
which by adherence to the usual methods of arrangement
would stand far apart, have been brought into close proximity,
according to their nearest natural affinities.
