Abstract

The first thing that strikes the student of botany when
he observes the more conspicuous vegetable growth of Tasmania
is what would naturally be expected, namely, the
close relationship between the flora of this and nearest extensive
tract of land, the south-eastern portion of Australia,
Another feature of interest is the vast number of European
aliens which have established themselves, and, in the more
settled centres, threaten to exterminate the native growth,
at least of the herbaceous plants.
