Smith. — Phanerogamic Plants indigenous in Southland District. 221 



vegetation of New Zealand he is dividing this area into three botanical 

 districts — (1) Comprising that portion subject to the average western rain- 

 fall ; (2) tne part subject more especially to the south-western rainfall, and 

 in which many of the typical western plants are absent ; (3) Stewart Island 

 and the islets adjacent. 



It will be seen that this covers an enormous mountain area, of which 

 only a minute fraction has been trodden by the botanist ; hence there still 

 remains much to be done. It is probable that many more plants new to 

 science will be discovered in this region. These, from time to time, can be 

 collated and published as an additional list. It would have been impossible 

 for me to have presented this list without the personal assistance of Mr. D. 

 Petrie and Dr. L. Cockayne, F.R.S. To the works of Mr. T. F. Cheesenian. 

 F.L.S., F.Z.S., and the reports in the "Transactions of the New Zealand 

 Institute " on the Eyre and Garvie Mountains of Mr. D. L. Poppelwell 

 I am much indebted.
