318 Vermischte neue Diagnosen. 
collected long ago at Dusky Sound by Mr. Reischek, who gave Mr. T. 
F. Cheeseman some pices not in flower or fruit, and I have seen 
flowerless specimens from the neighbourhood of Puysegur Lighthouse. 
882. Aciphylla pinnatifida Petrie, l. c., p. 254. — Caulis 15—20 cm 
altus, gracilis, sulcatus. Folia 5—8 em longa, trifoliolata, usque ad 
summam vaginam divisa; segmenta linearia, pinnatisecta; pinnis lineari- 
bus, brevibus, integris, subremotis; vaginae haud in spinas laterales 
productae, — New Zealand: End Peak, Lake Hauroko. — I have seen 
only three specimens of this very distinct plant, collected by Mr. J. 
Crosby Smith, F. L. S. One bears no fruit, and may be a staminate 
plant; the others are pistillate, but few ripe carpels are left on them. 
883. Gentiana flaccida Petrie, 1. c., p. 255. — Herba perennis, gra- 
cilis, flaccida, indivisa, erecta, + 10 cm alta. — Folia radicalia nu- 
merosa, 2—3 cm longa, tenuia, obovato-spatulata, gradatim in petiolos 
latiores per-flaccidos lamina duplo longiores attenuata. Folia caulina 
radicalibus similia, petiolis brevioribus, superiora acuta in paribus oppo- 
sitis disposita. — Flos terminalis, solitarius, grandis, ad 2 cm longus. 
— New Zealand: End Peak, Lake Hauroko. — I have seen only a 
single specimen of this plant, but it is so clearly distinct from any of 
its native congeners that I feel little hesitation in describing it. It is, 
of course, uncertain if the specimen | have seen represents the typical 
form of the plant. Its nearest ally is G. lineata T. Kirk, a plant that 
was first collected by myself on Stewart Island in 1877. The present 
species was collected by Mr. J. Crosby Smith, F. L. 5. 
884. Euphrasia australis Petrie, l. c., p. 255. — Herba tenuis, sub- 
rigida, parce foliosa, ad 8 cm alta, sparse pubescens, a basi ramosa; 
rami laterales parce subdivisi. Folia. in paribus oppositis remotis dis- 
posita, suborbicularia, crassiuscula, basi subito contracta, — Flores ma- 
juseuli, axillares, pedunculati, plerumque in paribus oppositis dispositi, 
albidi; peduneuli foliis subduplo longiores, maturi ad 1!/, cm attinentes. 
— Capsula calyce persistente brevior, late obovato-cuneata. — New 
Zealand: End Peak, Lake Hauroko. — I have not seen good specimens 
of this plant, which was collected by Mr. J. Crosby. Smith, F. L. S., 
during an adventurous and laborious visit to Lake Hauroko and its 
neighbourhood. Owing to difficulties of travel, they are so mouldy and 
indifferently dried that I cannot be sure of the glabrous condition of the 
leaves or of the exact colour of the corolla. The species finds its 
nearest ally in E. Cockayniana Petrie, from which it differs in the sub- 
orbicular differently cut leaves, the more diffuse branching, and the 
elongated curved peduncles. 
885. Euphrasia umbellata Petrie, 1. c., p. 256. — Herba annua, ra- 
mosa, gracillima, glabra. Caulis gracilis, 11/,—2 cm longus, deinde um- 
bellato-ramosus; rami gracillimi, patentes v. ascendentes, 5- 10 cm longi, 
parce subdivisi. — Folia in paribus oppositis subdistantibus disposita, 
viridia, tenuia, trinervia, anguste cuneata, ad apicem in 5—7 breves 
subulatos subacutos dentes secta. — Flores solitarii, longe pedunculati;
