the under-surface of the leaves and the scapes; and in the more slender 
flexuous scapes. 
945. Gentiana Matthewsii D. Petrie, |. e., p. 183. — Planta sub- 
gracilis, ramosa, glaberrima, annua (?), 1!1/,—2!/, dem. alta. — Caulis a 
basi ramosus; rami graciles, adscendentes vel suberecti, subquadran- 
gulares. — Folia radicalia pauca, subrosulata, spathulata, tenuia, 2—4 cm 
longa, + 6 mm lata, obtusa vel subacuta; caulina sessilia, late ovata vel 
ovato-triangularia, subacuta, basi semi-amplexicaulia, 8—12 mm longa, 
in paribus distantibus disposita. — Flores subnumerosi, solitarii, albi, 
10- 15 em longi, ramulos ultimos terminantes. — Calycis lobi ovato- 
oblongi, subacuti, corolla persistente fere dimidio breviores. — Capsula 
matura breviter rostrata, corolam superans. — New Zealand: 
Moist grassy slopes near Lake Harris, Routeburn Valley, Lake Wakatipu, 
4000 ft. — This species is somewhat closely allied to G. Grisebachii 
Hook. f., differing in the stouter more erect stems and ‘branches, the 
much larger flowers, and the shorter broader calyx-lobes. 
946. Euphrasia Laingii D. Petrie, l. c., p. 184. — Planta perennis, 
erecta vel basi decumbens, 1—2 dcm alta, a basi tantum ramosa, bi- 
fariam pubescens. — Folia in paribus distantibus disposita, erecta, 
cuneata, 8—10 mm longa, 4—6 mm lata, sessilia, glaberrima, subcoriacea. 
obtusa, apice triloba (lobo medio lato, lateralibus angustis), subrecurva. 
— Inflorescentia racemus spiciformis, elongata (5—10 cm longa), multi- 
braeteata, bracteis foliis similibus. — Flores axillares plerumque in pari- 
bus oppositis dispositi, pedicellati, pedicellis folia aequantibus et + bi- 
fariam pubescentibus. — Calyx bracteis aequilongus, breviter 4-lobatus, 
lobis acutis vel subacutis, manifeste venosus, venis ad 10. — Corolla 
infundibuliformis, 12—15 mm longa, limbo valde dilatato, venis mani- 
festis. — Capsula cuneato-oblonga, bracteis aequilonga, calycis tubum 
Vix vel omnino aequans. — New Zealand: Mount Peel and Mount 
Winterslow, R. M. Laing; Craigie Burn Mountains, at sources of 
Broken River, L. Cockayne and D. P.; Hooker River, Mount Cook district, 
T. F. Cheeseman and D. P. — This species is intermediate between 
E. Monroi Hook. f. and E. revoluta Hook. f. The pedicellate large flowers 
are like those of the latter, while the erect stems, the subcoriaceous 
leaves, and the capsule resemble those of the former. The elongated 
inflorescence, the pedicellate large flowers, the erect habit, and the 
characteristie cuneate leaves unequally 3-lobed at the tips, form its most 
distinctive characters. The plant may be easily identified by the leaves 
alone,
