From Ferdinand von Mueller to the Journal of botany, British and foreign   24 Apr 1868

In a volume published on the results of the intercolonial Exhibition of Victoria, an index was given of 950 trees ascertained to exist in Australia.1 During last year, discoveries, especially in Queensland, have furnished material for a short supplement to the lists, the species being either new or not formerly known to attain the height of trees. The letters following the scientific name indicate the name of the colonies in which the trees are found.
