flora of the Cape of Good Hope occur. At the Cape of Good Hope
very few European species, believed not to have been introduced by man, and on the
representative European forms are found, which have not been discovered in the intertropical parts of Africa.
On the Himalaya, and on the isolated mountain-ranges of the peninsula of India, on the heights of Ceylon, and on the volcanic cones of Java, many plants occur, either identically the same or representing each other, and at the same time representing plants of Europe, not found in the intervening hot lowlands. A list of the genera

raises a picture of a collection made on a
in Europe! Still more striking is the fact that
Australian forms are
represented by
growing on the summits of the mountains of Borneo. Some of these Australian forms, as I hear from Dr. Hooker, extend along the heights of the peninsula of Malacca, and are thinly
on the one hand over
and on the other
far north as Japan. |

| On the southern mountains of Australia, Dr. F.
has discovered several European species; other species, not introduced by man, occur on the lowlands; and a long list can be given, as I am informed by Dr. Hooker, of European
found in Australia, but not in the intermediate torrid regions. In the admirable 'Introduction to the Flora of New Zealand,' by Dr. Hooker, analogous and striking facts are given in regard to the plants of that large island. Hence we see
