Petrie. — Oil the Floirerlng Plants of Otago. 553 



Oreomyrehis haastii (?),Hook. f. — Mount Cardi-ona (4, 000ft.). 

 I doubt if this species is truly distinct froni the foregoing, 

 which is a very variable plant. 



Oreomyrrhis ramosa, Hook. f. — Common on hill-slopes and 

 in mountain valleys throughout. Dunedin ; Outram ; 

 Speargrass Flat ; Matukituki Valley ; &c. A very variable 

 plant. The fruits are sometimes glabrous and sometimes 

 hispid, and they vary much in length and stoutness. 



Aciphylla squarrosa, Forst. — Not rare in the E. and S. 

 Dunedin ; Palmerston S. ; Tuapeka, Maniototo, and Clutha 

 Counties ; &c. Now much less abundant than it was even 

 twenty years ago. Seedlings are readily cropped by sheep 

 and cattle, so that when old plants die off there are few 

 young ones to take their place. 



Aciphylla colensoi, Hook. f. — Common in hilly and moun- 

 tainous districts of C, S., and W. Dunedin; Waipori ; 

 Macrae's ; &c. Less a lowland plant than the preceding. 

 Ascends to nearly 4,000ft. on the mountains of C. and W. ; 

 descends to 600ft. near Dunedin.

 W. (3,500ft.-6,000ft.). Mount Ida ; Mount St. Bathan's ;

 Aspiring (4,000ft. and upwards). 



Aciphylla traillii, T. Kirk. — Mount Ida Eange (3,000ft.). 



Aciphylla kirkii, Buchanan. — Hector Mountains, at 5,000ft. 

 and upwards. I do not feel at all certain that this is dis- 

 tinct from A. monttma, Armstrong. 



Aciphylla simplex, Petne. — Mount Pisa and Mount Car- 

 drona (6,000ft.). 



LiGUSTicuM intermedium, Hook. f. — Catlin's; Nugget Point;
