Abstract

The material for this third unpretensive addition to the
literature on Tasmanian plants has gradually been brought
together from various sources. It was intended to offer this
new contribution some considerable time ago, but the
harassing anxieties which arose during the last few years in
the writer's official life, and the impediment which thus
occurred to his work in all directions, must plead excuse for
the retarded appearance of this record of all those plants,
placed so kindly at his disposal by several disinterested contributors.
Some of the Algae now specially mentioned as not
known from Tasmania at the time when Dr. Jos. Dalton
Hooker's great work appeared, were already recorded in the
magnificent volumes of the late Dr. Harvey's Phycologia, on
the scientific elaboration and artistic embellishment of which
work he spent also on Tasmanian shores many of his valuable
days.
