from H. nome-zealandiae in the much smaller size and more deeply 

 indented leaves. The species is very distinct in appearance and has a

 nowhere seen it in a natural habitat.

 at Mount Pleasant ; Castle Rock ; near Kennedy's Bush track ; and 

 elsewhere. 



J. B. A. gives also {'^)Pozoa {i.e., Azorella) hydrocotyloides — a very 

 unlikely plant to be found here.
