662 Transactions. — Botany. 



Eaoulia subulata, Hook, f — Not rare on the mountains of 

 the C. and W. at 4, 500ft. and upwards. Old Man Eange ; 

 Hector Mountains ; Mount Pisa ; Mount Tyndall ; &c. 



Eaoulia. eximia, Hook. f. — Mount Ida Eange, 4,000ft. I 

 have seen this nowhere else in Otago. It is the species bo 

 well known in Canterbury as the " vegetable sheep." 



Eaoulia hectgei, Hook. f. — Formerly common on all high 

 mountains of C, now rapidly dying off from the drying of 

 the ground through burning and close cropping. Mount St. 

 Bathan's ; Old Man Eange ; Hector Mountains ; Mount 

 Pisa; Ben Lomond; &c. (4,o00ft.-6,000ft.). 



Eaoulia glabea, Hook. f. — Eather rare on dry hills of E. and 

 C. Signal Hill (Dunedin) ; Waipori ; Lake Hawea. As- 

 cends to 2,000ft. 



Eaoulia subsericea. Hook. f. — Common on hills and plains 

 of C. and N., and spreading. Macrae's; Maniototo Plain ; 

 St. Bathan's; Ida Valley ; Cromwell; LakeWanaka; &c. 

 Ascends to 2,500ft. 



Eaoulia geandiflora. Hook. f. — Not rare, on all high moun- 

 tains at 4,000ft. and upwards. Eock and Pillar Eange ; 

 Mount Ida; Mount St. Bathan's; &c. 



Eaoulia bryoides, Hook. f. — Mount Pisa and Hector Moun- 

 tains, at 5,000ft. - 6,000ft. Otago specimens differ in 

 several respects from those from Marlborough, but there 

 is no doubt of the identity of the species. 



Eaoulia petriensis, T. Kirk. — Mount Ida and Mount St. 

 Bathan's (4,000ft.-5,000ft.). This plant has been seen 

 nowhere else than in these two neighbouring habitats. 



Eaoulia apice-nigra, T. Kirk.^ — Mount Pisa (4,000ft.). Forms 

 which I refer to B. monroi, and which are almost identical 

 with this, are common at much lower elevations near the 

 Kawarau Eiver and at St. Bathan's and Sowburn. 



Eaoulia parkii, J. Buchanan. — Common in shingly river- 

 beds and flats of the Lake District. What seem forms of 

 this also ascend the western mountains to 4,000ft. A 

 very glutinous form abounds on the top of the Old Man 

 Eange, forming extensive matted patches. 



Eaoulia goyeni, T. Kirk. — Mount Eakiahua (Stewart Island). 

 I have had specimens of this from Mr. Goyen, F.L.S., and 

 also from Mr. A. C. Purdie. 



Eaoulia youngii, Hook. f. — Eather rare at 5,500ft. to 6,000ft. 

 on the mountains of the W. Mount Pisa; Hector Moun- 

 tains. It seems not to extend east of the main valley of 

 the Clutha.
