Abstract

In the bye-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 Jussien in a reversed
series.

In 1843 the Horticultural and Botanical Society of Van Diemen's Land was founded and became the Royal Society of Van Diemen's Land for Horticulture, Botany, and the Advancement of Science in 1844. In 1855 its name changed to Royal Society of Tasmania for Horticulture, Botany, and the Advancement of Science. In 1911 the name was shortened to Royal Society of Tasmania.
