 abounded.

Cyathea CunninghamU Hook. f. {I). 



Bush near Cooper's Knobs : A. Wall ! The identification is not 

 quite certain as yet ; but the fern discovered can scarcely be anything 

 else, though specimens sent to Mr. T. F. Cheeseman are pronounced to 

 be ])robably Hemitelia Smithii. 



Hemitelia Smithii Hook. f. [J. B. A. ; T. P. ; A. W.] 



Akaroa ; Wainui ; Kaituna Valley : Abundant in the last two 

 places, and probably elsewhere. It just crosses Gebbie's Pass to the 

 bush just below Cooper's Knobs.

 A. W.] 



Common on the peninsula, but almost extinct on the Lyttelton Hills.

 identification.

 phlla Colensoi by J. B. A. and T. P.
