 New Zealand (Middle Island). Tasman's Bay (lat. 40£ S.).— 1827, 

 D'Urville. 



This plant, a native of the south coast of Australia, is here ad- 

 mitted as indigenous also to New Zealand, solely on the authority 

 of M. Achille Richard, who has described a plant which was found 

 on the shores of Tasman's Bay in the voyage of L' Astrolabe, and 

 which he has referred to Stylidium. He says, " Nous avons rapport6 

 au Stylid. spathulatum de Brown un seul petit echantillon de ce genre 

 qui a e*t6 recueilli par le capitaine lui-meme a la baie Tasman. La 

 seule difference que notre echantillon nous ait presentee, e'est que 

 la hampe est legerement poilue dans sa partie infdrieure, tandis que, 

 selon la phrase du celebre auteur du ' Prodrome de la Nouvelle Hol- 

 lander elle serait tout-a-fait glabre. Mais cet difference est de trop 

 peu d'importance pour former un caractere distinctif." A.Rich.hcit. 



Of this genus, no species was detected in New Zealand, either in 



the several Voyages of Cook or in that of Vancouver, and the order 



has hitherto been represented on those islands by the following ge^ 



nus only.
