590 Transactions. — Botany. 



AsPKELLA GRACILIS, Hook. f. — Not rare in alluvial flats and 

 in the lower valleys of the E., C, and N. Dunedin ; Ewe- 

 burn Creek ; Waipori ; &c. 



AsPRELLA LiEVis, Petrie. — Catlin's ; Matukituki Valley. 



Triodia exigua, Kirk. — Not uncommon in dry plains and 

 river terraces of C. and N.W. Kyeburn Crossing ; St. 

 Bathan's ; Moa Flat ; Lake Hawea. Eanges from 300ft.- 

 2,500ft. 



Triodia australis, Petrie. — Clark's Diggings; Mount Car- 

 drona ; Hector Mountains ; Old Man Range ; Blue Moun- 

 tains ; Maungatua (3,000ft.-5,000ft.). A useful fodder- 

 grass, most abundant and very closely cropped on the Blue 

 Mountains. Elsewhere it grows chiefly by the sides of 

 shallow gently-sloping mountain brooks. 



Besides the foregoing grasses I have from Waikouaiti and 

 Deep Stream immature specimens of a grass that will no doubt 

 prove a new genus. Mr. T. Kirk, F.L.S., has gathered the 

 same plant in the Wellington District. I sent specimens of it 

 to Kew a number of years ago.
