LAID UPON THE COUNCIL TABLE BY THE CHIEF SECRETARY, BY COMMAND OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR, AND ORDERED BY THE COUNCIL TO BE PRINTED, IVovemlier, 1S55. 19s ^utSorits: JOHN FERRES, GOVERNMENT PRINTER, MELBOURNE. A.— No. 10. \ EEPOKT OP THE GOVEENMENT BOTANIST. Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, 25th June, 1855. Sib, I do myself the honor of transmitting for communication to His Excellency the Governor my Third General Report. Having received, in October, 1854, His Excellency’s sanction for a more extensive phytologic exploration of the Australian Alps, I left for Gipps’ Land on the 1st of November, 1854. Whilst travelling along the hanks of the La Trohe River and the Avon, I had ample opportunities for convincing myself that an extensive tract of that country, on account of the fertility of its soil, the mildness of its climate, and the facility of clearing land there for agiiculture, is undoubtedly destined to become, when the internal communication there has been more facilitated, the abode of a large and prosperous population. Proceeding along the ranges of the Avon, which are generally barren, scrubby, and in many places densely timbered, I ascended Mount Wellington, the most southern summit of the Australian Alps, on the( ^2n(^ Novembcr, 1854, from whence I added some highly interesting plants to our botanical collections. At the elevation of about 4000 feet above the sea level, or at a subalpine altitude, a striking change is perceptible in the vegetation, since the valleys and plateaus, stretching from Mount AVellington to the north, and more or less westerly and easterly, are well saturated with moisture, both fr'om the attraction of clouds, and from the dissolving snow, which, lying there for many months in the year, has given to these locahties the appellation of “ The Snowy Plains.” The route thus followed is the most practicable for penetrating from this part of Gipps’ Land into the central mountains of the Alps, although an easier access yet may be found to them from Omeo, by following the generally grassy ranges to the ‘westward from a few miles above the jimction of the Livingstone River with the Mitta Mitta. Proceeding on a second journey along the Darga, which flows through some luxuriantly grassed recesses of the mountains, I advanced through a difficult country to the Bogong Range, the culminating point of the westerly systema of the Snowy Mountains ; a dense scrub, and the total absence of water on the crest of the Wentworth Ranges, rendering the progress tedious, until I reached the Dividing Range towards the sources of the Cabongra, where again the feature of the country changes on the northern slopes of the mountains, or along the sources of the Murray tributaries. Here open valleys give access to the central ranges in almost every direction, and a profusion of Botant. — b . 4 grass and water attracts cattle during the summer months far into these mountains. The low scrubby underwood disappears with stringy bark, and box, eucalj^ti, and the dwarf forests of mountain gum trees, which rejilace them, may either he avoided or offer hut little obstruction to the progress of a traveller. According to a special report, which I had the honor of transmitting to the Government, dated Omeo, 16th December, 1854, I succeeded in reacliing not only two of the main sources of the Mitta Mitta, but also the two most elevated heights of the Bogong Range ; these perhaps not even previously trodden by the aborigines, since game and brushwood cease far below the summits. The two higliest mountains, which I had the honor hv His Excellency’s sanction, to distinguish as Mount Hotharn and Mount La Trohe, are along the terminal ravines covered with eternal snow. It will be unnecessary to repeat here the respective bearings which I took from these all-commanding heights, since they are detailed in my special report ; but it remains for me to confirm my computation wdth regard to their altitude. My calculations, based on the boiling water jioint, proved, after my return, that the summits of the Bogong Range are unsurpassed by any other known of this continent, approaching to the altitude of 7000 feet^ahove the level of the ocean. A depressed Glacier Flora, imitating in some degree the botanical features of the European and other Alps, covers scantily the icy tops. The bearings from the summit of Mount Tambo, instituted on the 17th December, 1854, gave the position of Mount Flotham due W. of Mount La Trohe, W. 4° S. From Omeo I resumed my journey into the north-easterly systema of our Alps, through a delightful suhalpine countiy, opening into wide valleys at the mam sources of the Snowy River, many of these valleys well adapted and partially used for summer pastures. I ascended the most northern alpine hill of the Munyang Mountains on the 1st of Januaiy, 1855, and traversed iu the weeks subsequent most of the principal elevations of these prodigious mountains, adding also there again not inconsiderably to our herbarium. Here on very many places the waters of the Murray and the Snowy River are rising in the closest proximity. Descending, in the latter part of January, along the Snowy River to the lower country, I advanced as fiir easterly through the coast tract as the boggy nature of the country permitted, and I devoted my attention here ao-ain to the Flora of the Palm Tree Country, to improve my knowledge of the Intel esting plants discovered here previously iu a more advanced season. But the full botanical investigation of the south-tastern portion of this 0 ony, which, under tlie mildest climate, abounds in subtropical plants, can o y e accomplished from the New South Wales frontier. Returning from the Snowy River, I deemed it more promising to piosecute my operations on the coast, along which I proceeded to Lake Kino-, eie 0 solved, amongst other rare and unknown plants, some fine trees of cronjc iia, a genus known from Eastern Australia and New Caledonia renim va 1 e or its splendid wood and tlie aromatic property bv which the species are pervaded. i. i j . A most severe illness frustrated my intention of ascending Mount ow ow, a w , locky, isolated summit at the south-western slope of the 5 Australian Alps, hitherto unexplored, and perhaps the only locality from which additions may he expected of importance to our knowledge of the Alpine Flora. Reflecting on the general results of this journey, I trust to he justified in considering them not without some importance, at least for the geography of plants. The expedition was planned more with a view of ascertaining the alliance between the vegetation of the Alps of Australia and plants of other countries, than with anticipations of largely enriching thereby the number of plants already under notice. Still, by referring to the enumeration annexed to this document, and to my former annual reports, it will be observed, that the total amount of either truly alpine, or at least subalpine plants of this country, exceeds 100 species, and it is pleasant to perceive that half of these are endemic, or not yet elsewhere discovered ; whilst by fixr tlie greater part of the other half comprises such as inhabit Tasmania, or are likewise natives of Xew Zealand. A much smaller proportion is identical with plants found exclusively in New Zealand, or Lord Auckland’s Group, or Campbell’s Island. The genus Drapetes, for a long time only known in Fuegia, is now ascertained to exist, with other plants from the cold zone of South America, in the Australian Alps, New Zealand, Tasmania, and Borneo, and many other instances might be adduced to show tlie typical resemblance of many plants from the Alps of Australia with those of distant countries. /^As a most surprising fact in this regard, I beg to allude to the sudden rcappeai'ance of several European plants in the heart of the Australian Alps, plants which may be searched for in vain in the intervening country, viz. ; — Turiitis glabra, Sagina procumbens, Alchemilla vulgaris, Veronica serpillifolia, Carex Pyre- naica, Carex echinata, Carex canesceus, Carex Buxbaumii, and Botrychium Lunaria^ I may also advert to ‘the occun-ence of Lysimachia vulgaris in tbe Gipps’ Land morasses as another singular instance of the enigmatic laws wliich rule the distribution of plants, and I cannot suppress my opinion that such facts tend to annihilate all theories in favor of migration of species from supposed centres of creation. The Index which I have annexed comprises also a large number of seaweeds, discovered by Professor Harvey, and adds thus 96 genera and 327 species to my previous enumerations, advancing the number of the former to 776, a sum which, as excluding all yet introduced plants, all fungi, and many undetermined genera of the lower orders, must be considered eminently large. The number of species ascertained to occur in Victoria exceeds, under the exclusions alluded to, already 2000. Excluding all algm, 15 genera have been added to the Flora of this continent, two of them new to science — Caltha, llowittia, Colobanthus, Dichopetalum, Pozoa, Diplaspis, Seseli, Diodia, Nertera, Decaspora, Pajderota, Drapetes, Herpolirion, Astelia, and Andiaea. Seeds of native plants were collected, whenever obtainable, and have been distributed (in more than 1000 lots) with a view of increasing by interchange the supply for our own establishment to the best advantage. It is my pleasing duty to acknovvdedge here the valuable contributions for our gardens, received in return for my former collections, amongst which contribu- tions those of Sir William Hooker, from the Royal Gardens at Kew, are prominent. 6 Engagements in the botanical perlustration of tropical Australia, for which His Excellency has been pleased to sanction my absence for the next and the current year, render it impossible to devote any time for the most desirable researches into the utility of so many of our native plants ; but I have succeeded in finishing my systematic labors on the Flora of Victoria, so far as the material for it was accumulated, and an outline of the more interesting new plants has been furmshed for the Journals of the Philosophical Society and the Victorian Institute. A more extensive information on our native plants was forwai'ded to Sir William Hooker, and I trust that, on account of the great alliance of the Victorian and Tasmanian plants, these manuscripts will prove to be useful in the elaboration of the Flora of Van Diemen’s Land, which is now to be published, under the auspices of the Imperial Government, by Dr. J. Hooker. A splendid collection of Algse, procured on our shores by Professor Harvey, fonns a valuable addition to our herbarium. The whole of the col- lections may at all times be consulted in the Botanic Garden ; and I hope sincerely that the labor which I have bestowed on these collections will not be in undue proportion to the information which they are intended to convey. A regular transmission of botanical specimens to Kew has also been continued. Steps have likewise been taken to procure from other countries such plants as promise to become of use to the Colony ; and it is gi'atifying to know that Nature has favored us with a soil and with a climate in which aU treasures of the vegetation dispersed through extra-tropical countries may be reared in perfection and abundance. I have the honor to be. Sir, Your most obedient and humble Servant, FERDINAND MUELLER, Government Botanist.
