No. T.^The Rosette Plants : Part I, 

 By M. Winifred Betts, M.Sc. 



[fiearf before the Otago Institute, 9th December, 1919 ; received by Editor, Slat December, 

 1919 ; issued separately, 30th June, 1920.] 



At the end of 1918 the author was able, through the kindness of Dr. Chilton, 

 of Canterbury College, to pass a short time at the Canterbury College 

 Mountain Biological Station, at Cass. During this visit material was col- 

 lected for an account of all the rosette plants of the district, but the author 

 has been able to study only a few of the plants ; hence in the present paper 

 the anatomy only is dealt with. The author hopes, in a subsequent paper, 

 to work out the anatomy of the rest of the rosette plants, and to consider 

 the conclusions drawn from such anatomical study. 



The following list gives the names of all the indigenous rosette plants 

 to be found in the vicinity of the station. This list is taken from the list 

 of species compiled by Cockayne and Foweraker.*
