Marchantía polymorpha, Liuu., is stated by Dr. Gottsche, in ‘ Plantæ Muellerianæ,’ to occur in Tasmania, but
all tbe specimens yet seen appear to belong to M. tabularis, Nees, which differs more in appearance than in any
decided character from the European species.

Fedunculus bi-trilinearis, basi squamosus. Receptaculum latitudine bilineare, margine crenulatum.
The plant referred to this species coinesponds so nearly in the size, colour, and areolation of its fronds, that
there seems little reason to doubt its being tbe male of that ali-eady described in the ‘ Flora of New Zealand.’

These specimens present no differences from the British states of the species, and, like them, have the fronds
frequently constricted in an articulate manner.

The great characteristic of Tasmauian Fungi, of which 275 species are here enumerated, is tlieir identity
with or close relation to European forms. A very few ouly partake of a subtropical nature, while no
considerable number of species exhibit any striking peculiarity. Folyporus sanguineus is almost wholly
replaced by P. cinnabarinus, and though there are a few of those forms which are universal in the tropics,
some of the most common species, as Folyporus xanthopus, are altogether wanting. A few are commou to
Tasmania, with Chili, but very few of the peculiar species of New Zealand occur. The Agarics are numerous.
I have several species which I could not insert, from possessing only imperfect specimens. The
three genera which abound most iu species are Agaricus, Folyporus, and Feziza. About 8 species only can
be considered as peculiarly Australian. The predominance of European forms will be seen from the following
analysis; aud of the e.xtra-Europcan forms about 11 ouly can be considered as at all tropical.
