sponding flora on the higher mountains west of the Clutha 

 Valley. 



I have not found leisure to enter on any discussion of the 

 questions of distribution which the facts recorded in the 

 present paper suggest. To this I may return at some future 

 opportunity. The only abbreviation used in the list that 

 needs explanation is C, which stands for the central region 

 of Otago.

 edin ; Otepopo ; Kaitangata.

Clematis maeata, Armstr. — In scrub of E. and C. Kurow ;
