mosus, 1,5—3,5 m altus. Rami graciles, foliosi, non tortuosi nee inter- 

 texti; ramulis, foliis subtus, et inflorescentia argenteo-tomentosis. Folia 

 alterna, 3—5 cm longa, elliptico-oblonga vel oblongo-Ianceolata, petiolis 

 brevissimis. Flores fasciculati vel in paniculas terminales paucifloras 

 dispositi, circa 10 mm diam., petalis oblongo-lanceolatis. Drupae ob- 

 longae, 7 mm diam., 10 mm longae, rubrae. — New Zealand. 

 North Island: Spirits Bay, North Cape district; T.P.C.! Tauroa, in 

 woods; H. B, Matthews! H. C. — Flowers: October-November. — This 

 description applies to the type specimens, but the plant appears to pass 

 by regular gradations into C. cotoneaster on the one hand, and into C, 

 buddleoides on the other, with a tendency in one form to a broadening 

 of the leaves, bringing the species very close to the Chatham Island 

 C. macrocarpa. At present I have not seen the fruit of the last-men- 

 tioned form. — The typical form is very distinct. From C. buddleoides 

 it differs in its smaller size, smaller and proportionally broader leaves, 

 which are usually more obtuse, in the fewer-flow^ered and less-leafy 

 panicles. From G, cotoneaster it is distinguished by the absence of tor- 

 tuous and interlacing branches, those of C. Cheesemanii standing out 

 straight at an angle of 45, by the larger, oblong, and usually api- 

 culate leaves, by the usually paniculate inflorescence, and by the ob- 

 long drupe. 



1044. Thelymitra Matthewsii Cheesem., 1. c, p. 277. — A dainty and 

 apparently rare species, known only from a very restricted area between 

 Lake^Tangonge and the west coast. The small size and the curious spiral 

 twist of the leaf distinguish it from its congeners. — New Zealand. , 



1045. Corysanthes Carse! Cheesem., 1. c, p. 277. — This is a very 

 tiny plant, V3— ^/s in- h'gh, rather difficult to find. It occurs in wet 

 peat associated with Lycopodium Drummondii, Drosera spathulata, Utri- 

 cvlaria ddicatvla, etc. It was discovered by Mr. H. B. Matthews and 

 myself in a morass adjoining Lake Tangonge. — New Zealand. 



1046. Acalypha striolata Lingelsh. in Mitt. Thiir. Bot. Ver. N. F., 

 XXIX (1912), p. 48. — Suffrutex metralis, dioicus, caulibus lignescenti- 

 bus, teretibus, nigro-striolatis, glaberrimis vel sparse pilosis. Folia 

 chartacea, ambitu oblongo-Ianceolata, e basi cuneata apicem versus 

 sensim acuminata, 7-14 cm longa, 1—4 cm lata, supra plumbeo- 

 viridia, juvenilia excepta glaberrima, subtus laete viridia simulque secus 

 nervos leviter pilosa, margine crenata, petiole 2-8 cm longo canali- 

 culate instructa; stipulae minimae, 1 mm longae, setiformes. Racemi 

 masculini spiciformes, laxi, 6-8 cm longi, axillares, tenuiter pilosi, pe- 

 dunculati; pedunculus 1,5 cm longus. Flores vix 0,1 cm diametientes, 

 fere sessiles. Flores feminei ignoti, - Siidbrasilien, Rio Grande do 

 Sul: Neu-Wiirttemberg, lichter Wald, 450 m (A. Bornmuller no. 543!). 



Gehort zu den wenigen zweihSusigen Arten der Gattung und ahnelt 

 in der Tracht der A. diversifolia Jacq., unterscheidet sich aber schon 

 durch die langen Blattstiele von dieser Spezles.
