192 Vermischte neue Diagnosen. 
floriferi graciles, ascendentes, 30—45 cm alti. Folia radiealia numerosa, 
longe graciliterque petiolata, 7—15 cm longa, supra et infra pilis albidis 
obsita; folia caulina minora, superiorum sessilia. Racemi terminales, pe- 
dunculati, simplices aut rarissime furcati. Flores flavi, breviter pedi- 
cellati, Calyx elongatus, cylindraceus, lobis linearibus. Corolla anguste 
campanulata, 16 mm longa, 10 mm lata; tubus cylindraceus, fauce 
gibbis emarginatis instructa. Stamina 5, sub fauci affixa; filamentis 
elongatis; antheris majusculis, linearibus, — New Zealand: South 
Island: Kaikoura Mountains; J. Buchanan!  Wairau Gorge; T. F. C. 
Lake Tennyson; R. M. Laing! Altitudinal range from 2500 ft. to 4500 ft. 
938. Corysanthes Carsei Cheesem., l. c., p. 162. — Ab C. uuguiculata 
R. Br. differt floribus angustioribus, labello apiculo minore, sepalo postico 
emarginato. — Planta perpusilla, acaulis, florifera 8—12 mm alta. Folium 
solitarium, membranaceum, ovato-cordatum, acutum, 6—10 mm longum. 
Flos solitarius, pro planta majusculus, horizontalis vel deflexus, supra 
folium subsessilis. Sepalum posticum basi angustum, tunc lato-cuculla- 
tum, apice incurvatum et emarginatum. Sepala lateralia parva, linearia. 
Labellum magnum, 10 mm longum, orbiculatum, marginibus valde 
involutis. Columna brevis, curvata. — New Zealand: North 
Island: Peaty swamps between Lake Tongonge and the coast, Mongonui 
County; H. Carse and H. B. Matthews! — This is a very curious little 
plant, closely allied to the Australian C. unguiculata; but, judging from 
Mr. Fitzgerald's beautiful drawing, that species has a much broader 
flower, the upper sepal is wider and not incurved or emarginate at the 
tip, the projecting lamina at the apex of the lip is much smaller, and 
the papillae within the lip are confined to the median line, whereas they 
also form a broad patch to the right and left of the median line in C. 
Carsei. There is also a relationship to C. Matthewsü; but, among other 
differences, it has a much narrower dorsal sepal, and the lip wants the 
projecting lamina of C. Carsei. 
939. Colobanthus monticola D. Petrie, l. c., p. 179. — Planta musci- 
formis, humillima, dense caespitosa, ramosa, glaberrima. — Folia arcte 
imbricata, paribus oppositis basi in vaginam membranaceam brevem 
connatis, 6—8 mm longa, lineari-subulata, acicularia, viridia, marginibus 
stramineis valde incrassatis, cetera evenosa. — Flores laterales breviter 
pedunculati, pedunculis fructiferis elongatis. — Calyx alte 4-partitus; 
lobis anguste lineari-subulatis, acicularibus, foliis subsimilibus, — Sta- 
mina 4, inter calycis lobos disposita, lobisque dimidio breviora, — Styli 
4, breves, stamina vix superantes, — Capsula 4-loculata, sepala aequans 
matura. — New Zealand: Rocky faces of the Sealey Range, 
Mount Cook district, at 5500 ft. — The present species is closely allied 
to C. canaliculatus T. Kirk. It differs in the number of sepals and 
stamens, which are uniformly 4; in having the stamens and styles much 
shorter than the sepals; and in the form of the calyx-lobes, which are 
linear-subulate and acicular.
