Laing. — Subalpine Element in the Flora of Banks Peninsula. 59 



8. Lagenophora pinuatifida* Hook. f. Summit of French Peak, and at 



edge of beech forest, and on northern ridge of Waikerakikeri Bay. 



9. Gaultheria antipoda Forst. var. depressa Hook. f. Mounts Fitzgerald 



and Sinclair. 



10. Gunnera monoica Raoul. Ridges behind Akaroa. 



11. Libocedrus Bidivillii Hook. f. From Mount Sinclair to hills behind 



Akaroa. 



12. Myosotis pygmaea Col. Possibly not uncommon, but easily over- 



looked. Though elsewhere fourd at sea-level, this is only to be seen 

 on the hill-tops of the peninsula. Doubtless the greater amount of 

 moisture there has determined the situation. This is probably true 

 also of Lagenophora. pinnatifida, which I found only on the very 

 summit of French Peak, and on the top of the ridge elsewhere. 



13. Myosotis australis R. Br. Lyttelton Hills ; rare (with white flowers 



only). 



14. Nothofagus cliff ortioides* (Hook, f.) Oerst. Long Bay Ridge. 



15. Nothofagus Solandri (Hook, f.) Oerst. Long Bay Ridge. 



16. Nothofagus fusca (Hook, f.) Oerst. Stony Bay to Damon's Bay. 



17. Olearia ilicifolia* Hook. f. Mount Sinclair (2,500 ft,), Purple Peak. 



Sometimes found at lower altitudes on the peninsula. 



18. Ourisia macrophylla (forma) Hook. Common above 2,000 ft., forming 



matted patches which cover the ground to the exclusion of all other 

 vegetation. The plant is always creeping ; petioles, midribs, and 

 veins pilose, upper surface and margins of the leaves more sparsely 

 covered with short hairs. Leaves membranous, capsule \ in. long or 

 less. Flowers, December to February. The same form occurs at 

 Reefton, and doubtless elsewhere on the West Coast. 



19. Oxalis magellanica* Forst. Mount Fitzgerald. 



20. Pentachondra pumila R. Br. Brasenose only. 



21. Raoului australis Hook. f. Purple Peak only. Originally found by 



Raoul ; now apparently almost extinct. 



22. Raoulia glabra* Hook, f . Common above 2,000 ft, ; Lyttelton Hills, 



very rare. 



23. Schizeleima Hookeri* (Drude) Donin. Rare ; Mount Pleasant, Lyttel- 



ton, behind Governor's Bay, near sea-level in Checkley's Bush 

 (Akaroa) . 



24. Senecio lagopus Raoul. Turf hill-tops behind Akaroa. 



25. Senecio saxifragoides Hook. f. A common chasmophyte above 1,000 ft., 



generally on the south-west faces of the hills. 



26. Uncinia rubra Boott, in Hook. f. Tops of Mounts Fitzgerald and 



Sinclair, and probably elsewhere. 



27. Veronica Lavaudiana Raoul. Abundant, and coining down to 900 ft. 



28. Veronica Lyallii (forma) Hook. f. Forming dense patches, often cover- 



ing many square yards on the southern faces of the cliffs on Mount 

 Fitzgerald. Leaves ^ in. to | in. long, with only two serratures on 

 each. Racemes 1 in, to 2 in. long, rising from near the ends of the 

 branches ; apparently a dwarf form. The plant has the leaves of 

 V. Bidivillii, with the inflorescence of V. Lyallii. 



29. Wahlenbergia saxicola* A. D.C. Top of Mount Sinclair. Though else- 



where at sea-level, here only on the highest summits.
