544 FLORA ANTARCTICA. [Fuec/ia, the 



subter tomento dense appresso lanatis, paniculis termiualibus, pedmiculis validis lanatis, capitulis 

 majusculis, fl. radii paucis inconspicuis, corollse tubo achreniisque villosis. (Charact. ex exempt. 

 Nov. Zealand.) 



Perhaps most nearly allied to the Eurybia erubescens of Tasmania in the foliage, though a very different 

 plant. The pappus is in a measure double, for I observe small setse mixed with or external to the longer : 

 this is the case with various Tasmanian species, and much diminishes the value of the characters dis- 

 tinguishing Olearia from Eurybia. 



The Auckland Island specimens have large and very obtusely dentate leaves, but are in other respects 

 so similar to those from the mountains of the north Island of New Zealand (collected byMr. Colenso), 

 that I have Httle hesitation in considering them specifically the same.

Hab. Auckland Island, M. le Guillou. 



I have examined a specimen of this plant in Mr. Gunn's herbarium (collected by M. Le Guillou, an 

 officer of Admiral D'Urville's expedition): it is small but similar; and much larger ones from various parts 

 of New Zealand appear to be specifically the same with others from Tasmania.

Hab. Auckland Island : M.le Guillou (in Hi. Gunn). 



Specimen in fruit only, but I think referable to this species : it is not an uncommon plant in various 

 parts both of the Northern and Southern Islands of New Zealand.

The above additions to the pubbshed characters are suppbed from a specimen gathered in Lord 

 Auckland Island by M. le Guibou, and given by him to Mr. Gunn of Tasmania. 



p. 69. Thelimytra? unifiora. — After the description add: — fobo sobtario tereti canabculato. 



A specimen of this plant, collected by M. le Gublou in Lord Auckland Island, is in no better state of 

 flower than those I gathered, the leaf is, however, in good preservation and similar to that of some other 

 Thelimytra;.

Though somewhat different in habit from the New HoUand species, I do not thiuk that tins can be 

 genericaUy separated from them. The flowers are shorter and less expanded, and the upper sepal larger 

 and more galeate, the remainder smaUer than in its congeners. The description is completed from 

 M. le GuiUou's specimens, in which the fobage is mrperfect.
