systematic botany of the New Zealand subantarctic islands, now in the 
Press, otherwise I had intended describing it, as I had previously ex- 
pressed the opinion it was distinct from A. linearis (Cockayne, 18). 
4. Ranunculus Crosbyi Cockayne, I. c., p. 42. 
Il can, unfortunately, give no diagnosis, the living plants growing in 
my garden having died. The species was only noted at the summit of 
Table Hill. It is a small plant with radical leaves hairy — so far as I 
remember, with reddish hairs. The scape is short and 1-flowered. Na- 
med after Mr. J. Crosby-Smith, F. L. S., of Invercargill. 
5. Cardamine heterophylla (Forst. f.) O. E. Schultz var. uniflora (Hook. f.), 
Cockayne, |. c., p. 42. 
Cardamine hirsuta L. var. uniflora Hook. f. in Handb. N. Z. Flora, p. 12. 
6. Rubus subpauperatus Cockayne, l. c., p. 42. 
Frutex scandens ramis gracilibus aculeis rubris aculeatis, foliis ter- 
natis foliolis lineari-lanceolatis petiolis gracilibus aculeatis, paniculis parvis 
5 cm longis floribus dioicis sepalis ovatis pilosis. 
New Zealand, South Island: Common throughout. Stewart 
Island: Forest, Mason Bay; rare. 
At first sight easily confounded with R. cissoides A. Cunn. var. pau- 
peratus, and frequently a companion plant, but distinguished by its 
prickly stems, those of the last named being unarmed, reddish, not 
yellowish, priekles, and smaller panicles. Bushes in the open produce 
flowers, whereas those of R. cissoides var. pauperatus seldon or never 
do so. 
1. Epilobium neterioides A. Cunn. var. minimum (T. Kirk) Cockayne, 
l. e, p. 43. 
E. nummularifolium var. minimum T. Kirk in „Students Flora“, p. 174. 
This very distinct plant is only known from the south coast of the 
South Island and Stewart Island. It might well be considered a species. 
8. Gunnera albocarpa (T. Kirk) Cockayne, L c., p. 43. 
Gunnera monoica Raoul var. albocarpa T. Kirk in Trans. N. Z. Inst., 
vol. XXVII, p. 344, 1895. 
New Zealand, South Island: West coast, common; Southland. 
Stewart Island: Common. 
This is a very well-marked species, and distinguished at once by 
the small globose white fruits tipped with the black calyx-lobes. It 
grows frequently on wet banks dripping with water. 
9. Nothopanax parvum (Kirk) Cockayne, l. c., p. 43. 
Panax simplex Forst. f., var. parvum T. Kirk in „Students Flora*, 
P. 217, 1899. 
New Zealand, North Island: Waimarino Forest. South Island: 
West coast, Stewart Island: Yellow-pine association. Nowhere 
abundant. 
Differs from Nothopanax simplex (Forst. f.) Seem., in its more shrubby 
habit, much smaller leaves, and few-flowered umbels. The leaves are 
narrow, oblong to ovate, and from 2—5 cm long. I have not noted a
