There may be other European plants in S. America North of Chiloe and Patagonia — but they would hardly together with these, equal the Australian lists I presume.— very curious to see how so many same species have fought through America to S. & India to Australia.

Very interesting to see so many European & N. American plants — There seems none common to Europe without being also f in N. America (It is so)
