primum erecta, concava, demum patentia et ssepe revoluta, ciliata, a?stivatione imbricata, quincuncialia. Sta- 

 mina tot quot petala, prope basin corolla? inserta ; filamentis breviusculis, linearibus ; antheris ovato-lanceolatis, 



corolla, in all which respects it differs from D. Urvilleanum, but agrees with that plant in the few-flowered 

 spike. 



12. D. subulatum, n. sp. ; fruticosum, ramis fuscis parce foliosis gracilibus, foliis fasciculatis e basi lata 

 vaginante lineari-subulatis |-|-uncialibus strictis erectis rigidis subtriquetris, vaginis latiusculis sub lente ciliatis, 

 spicis J-i-uncialibus lateralibus ramulisque brevissimis terminalibus 2-fioris, floribus parvis approximatis, brac- 

 teis persistentibus florem superantibus foliolisque calycinis late ovatis acutis v. acuminatis, corolla? tubo campa- 

 nulato, segmentis latis. 



Hab. New Zealand ; mountainous interior of Northern Island : /. T. Bidwill, Esq., and IV. Colenso, Esq. 



A very distinct plant, readily recognised by the small size of all its parts. 



13. D. rosmarinifolium, Br. ; fruticosum, ramis apice foliosis, foliis 1^-uncialibus erectis rigidis coriaceis 

 apice obtusis dorso convexis subcarinatis striatis antice canaliculars basi modice dilatatis vaginantibus, floribus 

 sessilibus solitariis, bracteis lanceolatis acutis, corolla? segmentis ovatis obtusis. — Forst. MSS. in A. Rich. Fl.

 folia, Forst. Prodr. n. 69. 



Hab. " Summis Alpibus Nova? Zelandia? ;" G. Forster. 



" Ha?c forte species ex E. longifolia enata, solo ingratiore et frigidiore pumila evasit, foliaque longa flores- 

 que racemosos amisit." — Forst. MSS. I. c. 



In Lord Auckland's group the D. longifolium assumes no such form, and from the British Museum speci- 

 mens this appears to be an entirely different species from any other. 



14. D. recurvum, n. sp. ; suffruticosum, ramis ad apices tantum foliosis, foliis uncialibus e basi vaginante 

 linearibus gradatim attenuatis obtusis recurvis supra canaliculars subtus convexis. 



Hab. New Zealand ; Tongariro : Mr. Bidwill. 



Apparently a very small plant, 4-5 inches high, the branches terete, fuscous-black, above transversely 

 scarred. In consequence of the blunt apices of the leaves I have placed this near D. rosmarinifolium, but I 

 much regret having neither flowers nor fruit.

2. Richea pandanifolia, n. sp. ; caule erecto simplici 15-25-pedali apice tantum folioso, foliis crassis valde
