Abstract

Among a number of Samoan plants placed for elucidation
at my disposal by the Rev. S. T. Whitmee,
occurs a whortleberry-bush the
first member of the order of Vacciniere, as yet known
from that group. The Royal Society of Tasmania has
favoured me on former occasions by promulgating notes on
plants not always Tasmanian, and, perhaps, this privilege
will be continued at this and future opportunities to render
known remarkable undescribed plants through the pages of
its publications, while this advantage will be all the more
appreciated, inasmuch as the praiseworthy regularity and
punctuality with which the Tasmanian Society issues its
papers, affords the most favourable vehicle in Australia for
the early record of new observations.
