Petrie. — On the Flowering -plants of Otago. 581 



carefully compared with the type of U. compacta by Mr. 

 C. B. Clarke, F.R.S., F.L.S., before I published it, and 

 was by him pronounced to be new. Later materials con- 

 vinced him that it was only a form of the present species, 

 as was also another form, for wluch he proposed the name 

 U. petriei. 



Uncinia austealis, Persoon. — Common in bush throughout 

 the district. Dunedin ; Catlin's; Lake Hawea ; &c. 



Uncinia fekruginea, Boott. — Not rare in forests of E. and 

 S. Dunedin ; Catlin's ; Stewart Island ; etc. 



Uncinia c^spitosa (?), Boott. — Not rare in bush in the E., S., 

 and "W. Dunedin ; Catlin's ; Lake Te Anau ; &c. 



Uncinia eupestkis, Raoul. — Common on clay hills and open 

 stations of E. and S. Dunedin; x\katore ; Kaitangata ; 

 Waipori; Blue Mountains ; &c. Up to 3,000ft. 



Uncinia filifokmis (?) , Boott. — Rather rare on mountains of 

 C. and W. Hector Mountains ; Maungatua; &c. 



Uncinia banksii, Boott. — Rather rare and local in bush in 

 the E. and S. Dunedin ; south of Stewart Island. 



Uncinia eubea, Boott. — Common in open lands of E. and S. 

 Dunedin; Maungatua; Kelso; Clinton; Catlin's; Bluff; 

 &c. 



Uncinia puepueata, Petrie. — Rather rare in the E. ; more 

 common on mountains of N.W. Signal Hill; Swampy 

 Hill ; Maungatua ; Macrae's ; Horse Range ; Mount Car- 

 drona ; Mount Tyndall ; &c. 



Uncinia eigida, Petrie. — Common in sci-ubby and open lands 

 of E., S., and S. central districts. Waitati ; Tokomairiro ; 

 Tuapeka ; Miller's Flat ; Akatore ; Kaitangata ; &c. This 

 plant, which has been referred by different authors to 

 U. rubra, Boott, and U. riparia, 13r., still seems to me 

 as distinct as any species of the genus that is to be found 

 in the colony. It is far more distinct from any of its con- 

 geners than U. ferruginea is from U. australis. 



Uncinia eipaeia, Br. — Not uncommon in bush and scrub in 

 the E., S., and W. Dunedin; Catlin's; Lake Hawea; 

 Lake Te Anau ; &c. To this may belong my U. laxiflora, 

 which is, however, quite unlike typical specimens of 

 Brown's plant sent me by Baron von Mueller, as well as 

 the figure of the latter in the " Flora Tasmanise." In my 

 view, Bentham has included more than one species in his 

 character of U. riparia, Br., in the "Flora Australiensis." 



Uncinia tenella, Br. — Clinton Vallev ; Matukituki Vallev.
