basi ramosa; ramis pilosis, foliosis, subgracilibus, erectis v. ascendenti- 
bus, + 8 cm longis. — Folia radicalia pauca, lineari-oblonga, a parte 
inferiore + angustata, ad 4 cm longa, 5—6 mm lata, obtusa, vix recur- 
vata, superne dense piloso-hispida, infra pilis subfirmis plerumque re- 
flexis minus dense pilosa; caulina sessilia, subconferta, a summis cauli- 
bus condensata, radicalibus similia sed breviora angustioraque, circa 
2 cm longa, 4 mm lata, — Racemi inter folia summa immersi, brevis- 
simi, dense molliterque pilosi; floribus densissime congestis. — Calyx 
+ turbinatus, alte 5-lobatus, lobis subulato-oblongis. — Corolla pur- 
purascens, longitudine calycem vix aequans; tubo lato, ad tertiam 
partem in 5 lobos rotundatos secta, squamulis perobscuris (v. nullis?). 
— Stamina 5 longa, subsessilia, ad corollae faucem pertinentia. — 
Stylus gracillimus, staminibus aequilongus, subcapitatus. — New Zea- 
land: —  Shingle Range, Upper Awatere (Marlborough), 5000 ft. 
Flowers December and January. — This well-marked species was col- 
lected by Dr. L. Cockayne, F.R.S., F. L.S., to whom I am indebted 
for specimens, The flowers examined are perhaps not fully developed. 
and may elongate somewhat when more mature. The anthers are, ho- 
wever, fully formed. 
1015. Gentiana tenuifolia D. Petrie, I. c, p. 270. — Caules 30—40 em 
alti, 2—3 mm in diam., subteretes. — Folia radicalia. numerosa, Con- 
ferta, majuscula, anguste obovato-spathulata, 8-14 cm longa, 2—3![ em 
lata, tenuia, obtusa v. subacuta, nervis 3—5 arcuatis venisque reticu- 
latis manifestis. Folia caulina in paribus oppositis paucis longeque 
distantibus disposita, sessilia, anguste triangularia, subaeuta, semi-am- 
plexicaulia, superiora gradatim minora. — Flores vix numerosi, in um- 
bellis bracteatis caulem pedunculosque laterales terminantibus. — Calyx 
+ 1 em longus, in lobos 4 lineari-subulatos ad tres partes divisus. — 
Corolla alba, alte secta, lobis acutis. — Stamina pistillo crasso dimidio 
breviora. — New Zealand. —  Lyell Creek, 1000 ft, and Boun- 
dary Peak, near edge of scrub (south-west Nelson), 4000 ft. — Mr. 
William Townson has kindly lent me his specimens of this plant. 
which he collected in the two localities mentioned above. He did not 
succeed in finding plants with the flowers expanded, but the stamens 
in the partially closed corolla have already shed their pollen. The 
leaves are unusually large and thin, and the intervals between the 
cauline leaves remarkably long. I have what may be the same plant 
from Mount Blairich, collected by the late Henry J. Matthews, but the 
Specimens are too immature to warrant a decided opinion,
