Festuca multinodis Petrie. 



Rocky places on the raised beaches eastwards of Cape Turakirae, Cook 

 Strait ; B. C. Aston and T. F. C. 



Asperella gracilis T. Kirk. 



Mr. H. B. Matthews has sent me specimens collected by him near 

 Kaitaia. It was not previously known north of Te Pahi, Kaipara. 



XCIII. Filices. 

 Doodia media R. Br. 



Mr. H. Carse has forwarded crested specimens of this gathered at 

 Maungatapere, Whangarei. 



Asplenium Trichomanes Linn. 



I am indebted to Mr. E. Phillips Turner for specimens collected on 

 limestone rocks near the Waitomo Caves. This is a slight extension of its 

 northern range. (See Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 43, 1911, p. 185.) 



Nephrodium glabellum A. Cunn. 



Specimens of this with the tips of the primary pinnae crested have been 

 collected at Mangatete, Mongonui County, by Mr. H. Carse. 



Polypodium Billardieri R. Br. 



Mr. Bedgood, of Kaitaia, has collected a remarkable sport in which the 

 tips of the pinnae are expanded and lobed or almost pinnatifid. 



Naturalized Plants. 



Ranunculus flammula Linn. 



Vicinity of Kaitaia ; H. B. Matthews ! Has been previously recorded

 H. Carse ! Edge of forest near Kaitaia ; Mrs. Foley ! In several places 

 near Kihikihi, Waikato ; N. M. Lethbridge ! A common South African 

 plant, now recorded for the first time from New Zealand. It is probably a 

 garden escape, although I cannot learn that the species has been in culti- 

 vation in any of the localities quoted above. 



Claytonia perfoliata Doun. 



Karori, Wellington ; J. S. Tennant ! This is the first record for the 

 North Island. Originally introduced into Europe from North America 

 about the beginning of the nineteenth century, it has now become natu- 

 ralized in many countries. 



Tribulus terrestris Linn. 



I am indebted to Mr. F. Hutchinson for a specimen of this, collected in
