formly grey-pubescent; and the drupes are smaller, globose, and bright 
red. It is a very distinct plant, and the leaves are quite characte- 
ristic.

Fyffe, Seaward Kaikouras, at 4000 ft. — For specimens of this 
species I am indebted to Dr. L. Cockayne, who collected them so long 
ago as 1892. I have put off describing them, in the hope that further 
material might be procured, but the plant has not been met with since, 
Its affinity is with C. hieracifolia Hook f. In form the leaves recall those 
of some states of C. Sinclairii Hook. f., but they are more coriaceous 
and much less distinctly dentate. The abundant glandular pubescence 
of the scape and its members relates it more clearly to C. hieracifolia, 
from which it differs in the whitish tomentum and in the smaller nar- 
rower spathulate more acute leaves.

Sealey Range, Mount Cook district, in tussock meadow, about 
5000 ft.; T. F. Cheeseman, Mrs. F. Bowe, and D. P. — This species 
is dedicated to Mrs. F..Bowe, a keen observer and ardent lover of our 
native alpine and subalpine plants, who first directed my attention to it. 
Mr. T. F. Cheeseman, F. L. S., collected it a good many years ago, and 
he considers it a form of C. Monroi Hook. f, This view I am unable to 
entertain. It differs from C. Monroi in the narrower, less coriaceous, 
more acute leaves that are green above and very distinctly grooved or 
finely wrinkled; in the yellowish loosely appressed tomentum that clothes
