A single stem. Bush, Kaipara, near Auckland, North I., 1904 (Blackwell, 
No. 34). These plants agree with specimens of Th. hastatum in the British 
Museum, е. g., Australian specimens, collected by F. Müller, in. Hampe's 
Herbarium. The rigid habit, the deeply plicate, rigid stem-leaves, and the 
golden-red colour seem to have some distinctive value, According to Paris, 
Mitten made ГА. hastatum a synonym of Th, furfurosum (Hook. f. & Wils.) ; 
but if the only evidence of this is the guarded statement in the * Handbook.’ 
it is rather too strong a conclusion to draw, though the plants are closely 
allied. 
Ти. FULYASTRUM (Mitt.), Jaeg. Lake Wakatipu, South I. (Meiklejohn, 
No. 4): det. Brotherus. А very striking plant in habit, whatever the 
structural characters may be worth. The branches are excessively crowded, 
tetracladous, and almost exactly uniform in length (roughly a quarter of an 
inch), so that the frond, 2-3 inches in length, is of a regularly linear-oblong 
compact outline ; the stem is densely packed with crowded leaves and 
multiform paraphyllia (often approaching the leaves in size), rendering it 
very tumid and conspicuous on the under side of the frond. I cannot help 
thinking that the rather wide distribution for this species given in the 
‘Handbook’? is somewhat illusory. There are no specimens in Wilson's 
Herbarium, and none in the British Museum Collection. It is probably 
rare.
