Cockayne. — Some Hitherto-unrecorded Plant -habitats 63 



Helichrysum glomeratum (Hook, f.) Benth. & Hook. 



South Island : Canterbury — Mount Oxford. J. E. Holloway ! 



Korthalsella Lindsayi (Oliver) Engl. 



South Island : (1.) Nelson — Island in River Waiau, near Marble Point ; 

 parasitic on Angelica geniculata and Sophora microphylla. C. E. Christensen ! 

 (2.) Old forest of Canterbury Plain, near Christchurch (Deans' Bush). C. E. 

 Foweraker ! 



Mr. Christensen states that the plant grows far more luxuriantly on 

 Sophora than on Angelica, a happening obviously in harmony with the 

 smaller food-supply provided by the latter. 



Myosotis pygmaea Col. 



South Island : Canterbury— Fellfield, Mount Oxford. J. E. Holloway ! 



In my opinion, Myosotis antarctica Hook, f., of Campbell Island, is 

 amply distinct from any of the forms in New Zealand proper hitherto re- 

 ferred to that species, and as Colenso's M. pygmaea is obviously one of 

 the. forms of the aggregate species, and, so far as I know, the first name 

 published, I am using it for the present to include all the forms in New 

 Zealand of what have hitherto been called M. antarctica. 



Nertera Balfouriana Cockayne. 



South Island : Southland — Riverton flats. J. Crosby Smith ! 



Olearia arborescens (Forst. f.) Cockayne and Laing. 



South Island : Canterbury — Mount Oxford. J. E. Holloway ! 



Olearia ilicifolia Hook. f. 



South Island : Canterbury — Mount Oxford. J. E. Holloway ! 



Ourisia caespitosa Hook. f. 



South Island : Canterbury — Fellfield, Mount Oxford. J. E. Holloway !

Pittosporum Ralphii T. Kirk. 



North Island : Hawke's Bay — Growing on the banks of rivers in com- 

 pany with Sophora grandiflora and Hoheria sexstylosa, in the northern part 

 of the province. A frequent and characteristic plant. L. C. 



This species is mentioned not because the habitat is new. but in order 

 to emphasize the abundance of the species and to define its habitat con- 

 ditions. 



Pratia macrodon Hook. f. 



South Island : Canterbury— Fellfield, Mount Oxford. J. E. Holloway !
