Abstract

The following notes on a few Queensland plants, I am in
hopes may not prove uninteresting to some Members of the
Society. Some of our trees, &c., are met with far away from
what would be supposed their habitat, and not, so far as
known, on intermediate country. Others again, which have
always been supposed to have been introduced by cultivation
are met with at so great a distance from where cultivation is
being carried on as to make one think that mode of introduction
impossible. Again the soil and situation in which we
find a tree growing, are at times so very different that it
would lead one to suppose them planted in these situations by
the erring hands of man, and not by the unerring hand of
nature.
