Petrie. — Oil the Flowering Plants of Otago. 547 



Cakmich^lia corymbosa, Colenso, var. — Clinton Valley and 

 head of Lake Te Anau. The flowers are unknown. This 

 plant may prove a distinct species. 



Carmich^lia erecta, Petrie. — Waitaki Valley, above and 

 below Kurow, chiefly on the river-banks. 



CARMiCHiELiA DIFFUSA, Petrie. — Sea-coast north of Otepopo 

 Eiver. 



SwAiNsoNiA NOv^-ZEALANDi^, Hook. f. — Mount St. Bathan's 

 (4, 000ft. -5, 000ft.). I found this plant here eighteen years 

 ago, and have never succeeded in finding it again. 



SoPHORA TETRAPTERA, Aiton. — Alluvial flats of E. and S., and 

 river-terraces and dry hill-slopes of C. and N. The moun- 

 tain forms are in several ways different from the lowland 

 ones. 



RuBUS AUSTRALis, Forst. — Common in forests and scrubby 

 valleys throughout. Everywhere exceedingly variable. 



PoTENTiLLA ANSERiNA, L. — lu wet and swampy stations 

 throughout ; ascends to 3,000ft. I think this plant must 

 be considered truly indigenous. 



Geum urbanum, L., var. strictum. — Not rare by sides of low- 

 land streams up to 2,000ft. 



Geum parviflorum, Commerson. — Common in mountain 

 valleys of C. and W. (2,000ft.-4,000ft.). Most easterly 

 stations, Kurow and Kakanui Mountains.

 Mount Cardrona (above l,oOOft.).

AcENA ADSCENDENS, Vahl. — Not rare on the mountains and 

 in the higher mountain-valleys of C. and W. Old Man 

 Range ; Hector Mountains ; Mount Pisa ; Mount Car- 

 drona ; &c. (3,000ft.-5,500ft.). 



Ac-5:na microphylla, Hook. f. — Not uncommon in lowlands 

 and lower mountain valleys of C. and S. Rare near Dun- 

 edin. 



Ac^na buchanani, Hook, f . — Common in Clutha Valley 

 above Cromwell. 



Ac^na inermis. Hook, f.— Not uncommon in dry mountain 

 valleys of N. and C. Naseby ; Clyde ; Hunter Valley ; &c. 

 I do not think this specifically distinct from A. viicrophylla, 

 Hook. f. Complete series of intermediate forms can be 

 gathered in many districts.
