Additions to the Tasmanian flora

The few additions here made to our flora are all cryptogamic.<br>Of the true mosses Fissidens tasmanicus and Amblystegium austro-serpens are endemic, and recently described by Prof. V. F. Brotherus, of Helsingfors. The second genus was not previously represented in Tasmania.<br>Of the Hepatics, the presence of Palluvicinius connivens on our mountains is another connecting link with New Zealand flora. Chiloseyphus kirkii also was hitherto only recorded from New Zealand. Calypogeia tasmanica adds a new genus as well as species to our list. Of the two fungi it is not surprising that the Geoglossum appears as it is common in Australia, but the Mitrula has not hitherto been recorded south of the equator.<br>We now claim two Geoglossums and three Mitrulas.<br>Geoglossum glabrum, Pers.; Geoglossum hirsutum, Pers.; Mitrula berterii, Mont.; Mitrula curullata, Fries. and Mitrula olivacea, Sacc.
