929. Dracophyllum virgatum (Cheesem.) Cockayne in Transact. N. 
Zeal, Inst., XLIV (1911), 1912, p. 53. — D. uniflorum Hook. f. var. vir- 
gatum Cheesem. in „Manual of the New Zealand Flora“, p. 427 (1906). 
— New Zealand: South Island: Westland—Swamp near Lake Brun- 
Beh L. C . 
930. Pittosporum divaricatum Cock., 1. c., p. 54 (nom. nud.) — This 
attains considerable dimensions. One example was 2,5 m tall. and had 
a trunk 12,5 cm in diameter. I am not sure but that the Westland 
form is distinct from that of the steppe climate of Canterbury. The 
Seedling leaves are more deeply cut (see Plate VIII, Article I, in this 
volume). — New Zealand: South Island: Westland—Otira Valley, in 
low forest. LG, 
931. Anisotome Enysii (T. Kirk) Laing, 1. c., p. 66. — Cockayne and 
Laing (loc. cit.) have restored the genus Anisotome for the southern 
species of Liyusticum; hence the necessity for this alteration, and the 
following. — New Zealand. 
932. Anisotome Enysii (T. Kirk) Laing var. tennysonianum Laing, l. c., 
p. 66. — Foliis pinnatis, ambitu deltoideo-ovatis, pinnis inferioribus 
trifoliolatis, foliolis minus argute dentatis minus crassisque, quam in 
forma typica, latioribus autem rotundioribusque. — I have hesitated 
Whether to describe this plant as a fresh species or only as a variety 
of A. Enysi. I have adopted the latter course, because on examining 
Specimens of A, Enysii from Central Otago and Banks Peninsula I find 
that they differ considerably, and probably contain more than one ele- 
mentary species. Further, I have not seen any type specimens of A. 
Enysii from Castle Hill, and consequently cannot be sure that any of my 
Species truly represent the original type. Until, therefore, the limits of 
the species 4. Enysii are better defined it will perhaps be safer to in- 
clude this under it as a variety. — A small spreading plant 5 cm to 
15 em high, with stout tap-root. Leaves subcoriaceous, glaucous, glabrous, 
aromatic, pinnate, with lower pinnae ternately divided, upper ternately 
lobed, the whole leaf deltoid-ovate in outline. Petiole as long or longer 
than the blade, terete, strait, with short broad membranous sheath, 6 mm 
broad at the base. Lower petiolules 10 mm to 15 mm long, upper 
Shorter, ultimate divisions broadly cuneate, flabellate, dentate, teeth sub- 
acute not piliferous. Flowering-stems, several, compound, much ex- 
ceeding the leaves. Peduncles with 1 or 2 bracts, the lower, if present, 
One-third of the distance from the base, usually with 3 linear lobes and 
a broad clasping base, upper bract set midway on the peduncle and 
Smaller. Umbels compound, primary rays 2—3, with a simple linear 
bract at the base of each ray. Secondary rays 5—7, somewhat unequal, 
Pedicels rather longer than the fruit, 1,5 mm to 2,5 mm. Fruit sur- 
rounded with an involucre of small linear acute bracts. Head hetero-
