This plant has now been recorded from so many stations far inland that 

 it can hardly be considered a coastal species.

Cotula fiiliformis Hook. f. 



This plant, recorded by me last year (Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 45, p. 254) 

 with a certain degree of doubt as to its true name, has since been compared 

 with the type at Kew by Dr. 0. Stapf, F.E.S., to whom I am greatly in- 

 debted. Dr. Stapf writes that it exactly matches the type. The plant 

 forms wide patches by means of its very slender, brown, wiry, creeping 

 stems furnished with short roots. The leaves are oblong, 1-2 cm. long 

 by 5 mm. wide or less in the widest part, green or stained brown near the 

 base, thin, glabrous, deeply pinnatifid, with the subulate segments either 

 entire or sparsely toothed on the upper margin ; the leaf-base is broad, 

 sheathing, pale and very thin, and encloses the bud. The scapes are fili- 

 form, slightly pilose, and at most 5 cm. long ; the head is about 4 mm. in 

 diameter. In cultivation the plant grows with great rapidity, and seems 

 well able to hold its own in competition with Oxalis magellaviica and Cotula 

 pyrethrifolia.
