Family Gramineae. 



°{^)Zoysia pungens Willd. [J. B. A.] 



Recorded by Cheeseman {Manual, p. 844). I have seen it growing 

 at Gore Bay, and have also seen specimens from New Brighton, and 

 consider that it probably still occurs on the peninsula. 



Microlaena avenacea Hook. f. [R. ; J. B. A. : L. C] 



Abundant on the forest-floor. (Akaroa is the habitat of the type.) 



Microlaena polynoda Hook. f. [J. F. A. ; J. B. A. ; L. C] 



Rare. Redcliffs, Caton's Bav, in scrub ; bush bevond Kennedy's : 

 A. W. 



Hierochloe redolens R. Br. [J. F. A. ; J. B. A.] 

 Common ; usually above 800 ft. 



'^Stifa arundinacea Benth. [J. F. A. ; J. B. A.] 



Pigeon Bay; Long Bay (near Peraki) : R. M. L. Akaroa: Lyall ; 

 Kirk. 



Slipa setacea R. Br. 



Sumner ; Heathcote Valley ; Cashmere Hills. Probably a recent 

 introduction . 



Echinopogon ovatus Beauv. [J. B. A.] 



Apparently not common. Lyttelton Hills : A. W. Caton's Bay ; 

 Island Bay : R. M. L. 



J. B. A. records {^)Agroslis canina and {^)A. quadriseta. These 

 should certainly be looked for. 



*Deyeuxia filiformis Petrie. [J. B. A.] 



Kaituna ; Mount Fitzgerald ; Stony Bay. 



*°Deyeuxia filifonnis Petrie var. pilosa Cheesem. 

 Banks Peninsula : T. Kirk. 



Dichelachne crinita Hook. f. [J. B. A. : L. C] 

 Common on rock-faces and drier hillsides 



Deschampsia caespitosa Beauv. [J. F. A. ; J. B. A.] 



Akaroa : Raoul. Tops of ridges, Lyttelton Hills : R. M. L. And 

 probably elsewhere. 



°Trisetiim antarcticum Trin. [J. B. A.] 

 Lyttelton Hills : Cockayne. 



*Danthonia Cunninghamii Hook. f. 



Mount Herbert and Mount Sinclair, 2,5(X) ft. Apparently not 

 hitherto recorded. 



Danfhonia Raoulii Steud. 



Akaroa (the habitat of the type) ; Mount Sinclair, above 1,000 ft. ; 

 Cooper's Knobs. 



I treated this previously as D. flavescens {Trans., vol. 46. p. 58), 

 but as the ])lant differs somewhat from the form as found elsewhere, 

 and as it is undoubtedly the D. rigida of Raoul, it is the type of 

 D. Raoidii and may be called var. rigida. 



Danthonia semi annularis R. Br. [R. ; J. B. A. ; L. C] 



Common in the tussock meadows, and probably increasing in quantity. 



Danthonia pilosa R. Br. [L. C] 



Abundant, and increasing (see introduction, p. 363).
