sacrifice to his zeal, being drowned in crossing a swollen 
river in the province of Canterbury, when on a botanizing 
expedition with Dr. Von Haast. It has also been found at 
Hawke’s Bay by Mr. Colenso. 
I am indebted to Mr. Isaac Anderson Henry for this very 
interesting plant ; he raised it from seed, which flowered in 
June of the present year at Hay Lodge, near Edinburgh ; 
and who has, since this plate was engraved, sent a specimen 
with twice as many flowers on the truss. The other New 
Zealand species, C. repens, Hook. f., is also a native of the 
Northern Island (forests of the Ruahine range); itis a small 
creeping very delicate and small-flowered plant. 
Descr. A tall very slender straggling herb, one to two feet 
high, pubescent all over. Stem rounded, weak, ascending, 
sparingly branched from the base. Leaves very membranous, 
long-petioled, two to four inches long, oblong or ovate- 
oblong, obtuse, crenate-toothed or lobulate on the margin, 
the teeth or lobules denticulate, base rounded or slightly 
cordate often oblique, dull green, under surface paler; 
petiole one to three inches Jong. Peduncles very long and 
slender, bearing loose subcorymbose heads of long pedicelled 
flowers. Calyx very small, about one-fourth of an inch in 
diameter ; lobes four, broadly ovate, subacute, spreading 
and reflexed. Corolla puberulous, one-third to one-half of 
an inch in diameter, between hemispherical and campahu- . 
late, shortly two-lipped, very pale lilac or flesh-coloured 
externally, within spotted with red-purple; upper lip 
emarginate, lower rather longer, concave, very obscurely 
three-lobed, tube villous at the base within. Stamens 
inserted at the very base of the tube, filaments very short ; 
anthers didymous. Ovary shortly conical, acute, pubescent. 
Capsule conical, membranous.—J D. H.
