as an inspection of tab. 6390 shows. Indeed, I am not at 
all sure that two species do not lurk under the name of 
Traversii, that figured as above, and a larger flowered, 
longer pedicelled one (the fig. 5 of this plate). 
V. Colensoi was discovered by the distinguished botanical 
explorer of the New Zealand Flora whose name it bears 
in the Ruabine Hills of the Northern Island nearly half a 
century ago, and it has since been collected in the Alps of 
the Middle Island, from Nelson southwards, at elevations 
of three thousand to five thousand feet. The specimen 
here figured flowered in my own garden near Sunningdale, 
in July of last year. It was sent to me by Mr. Lynch, 
from the Cambridge Botanic Gardens. My friend Pro- 
fessor Balfour, informs me that a rich collection of New . 
Zealand Veronicas, amounting to upwards of forty 
species, is cultivated in the Royal Botanic Gardens of 
Edinburgh, and has kindly promised to forward to me 
specimens of these as they flower for figuring in this 
Magazine. Being evergreen shrubs of remarkably close 
habit, they are well adapted for the rock-garden, which 
they ornament in winter especially.—J. D. H.

Nore on ExaruENa macrantha, figured on t. 7291.—Mr. Engs informs me 
that this plant does not grow in the Chatham Islands; and that the 
erroneous habitat given for it must have been owing to a mistake in labelling 
the seeds. In the last line of the first paragraph of the second page of the 
description of that plant, for “ between,” read ‘* beneath.”
