The rich and vividcolouring of the more northern flowers, and that soft and exquisitegradation of their tints, for which they are so singularly distinguishedhold with those here, but in a less eminent degree. The two countriespresent a perfect similarity in this, that the more barren spots are themost gaily adorned. The curious florist, and scientific botanist, wouldfind ample subject of exultation in their different researches in PortDalrymple. [* In this particular they differ from the flower...ing shrubs ofNew South Wales; none or very few of which were ever found, beautifulas they were in other respects, to possess the smallest particle ofodour. ] Except in these places, the grass grows not in tufts, but covers the landequally with a short nutritious herbage, better adapted, possibly, to thebite of small than of large cattle. The food for the latter grows in thebottoms of the valleys and upon the damp flats. A large proportion of thesoil promised a fair return to the labours of the cultivator, and alesser ensures an ample reward; but the greater part would perhaps bemore advantageously employed, if left for pasturage, than if thrown intocultivation; it would be poor as the one, but rich as the other.
