BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 31 
panied by a coloured chart of the South Circumpolar regions, 
showing the discovery tracks of Cook, Weddell, and Ross. 
The subjects of the first part were mentioned at p. 148 of our 
last volume of the Journal; and in future we must, in gene- 
ral content ourselves with a notice of such species as are 
figured, they being the most novel and the most remarkable. 
Tab. 9-10 represents a second species of the new genus Aniso- 
tome, A. antipoda, Hook. fil. (Ligusticum antipodum, Hombr. 
et Jacquinot). Tab. 11. Pozoa reniformis, Hook. fil., a pecu- 
liar genus of Umbellifere, hitherto supposed to be confined 
to extra-tropical South America, unknown to the Floras both 
of New Zealand and Australia. Of Araliacee, a Panax 
(P. simplex, Forst.), and an Aralia (A. polaris, of Hombron 
and Jacquinot, Voy. au Pole Sud, Botan. t. 2, without de- 
scription, a not very appropriate name, seeing that the islands 
where it grows are no nearer the South Polethan London and 
Paris are to the North Pole). This our author describes as 
“ one of the most handsome and singular of the vegetable pro- 
ductions in the group of islands it inhabits, which certainly 
contain a greater proportion of large and beautiful plants, 
relatively to the whole vegetation, than any country with 
which I am acquainted. Growing in large abundant masses, 
on rocks and banks near the sea, or amongst the dense and 
gloomy vegetation of the woods, its copious bright-green 
foliage and large umbels of waxy flowers, often nearly a foot 
in diameter, have a most striking appearance.” Tabs. 13, 14, 
15, and 16 are devoted to four Coprosmas, and no less than 
six species are described as inhabiting these islands. Tab. 17. 
Trincuron spathulatum, Hook. fil., a singular little composite 
plant, which grows on the summits of the mountains ; while 
Tab. 18, Ceratella rosulata, Hook. fil., is a no less remarkable 
plant of the same order and from the same localities, though 
confined to Campbell’s Island. Tab. 19, Leptinella lanata, 
Hook. fil. Tab. 20, L. plumosa, Hook. fil. Tab. 21, Helich- 
rysum prostratum, Hook. fil. Tabs. 22 and 23, Pleurophyl- 
lum speciosum, Hook. fil., a name it well merits (Albinea 
oresigenasa, Hombr. et Jacquinot). Tabs 24 and 25, P. cri-
