,, tomentosa, A. Cunn. 



Mr. Macallister, of the Telegraph Department, informed me 

 that this species was plentiful on the cliffs between Biwaka and 

 Waitapu, where it occurred in sufficient quantity to furnish the 

 framework of a small vessel built there a few years ago. I was 

 also assured by a surveyor that one or two trees were still 

 standing on a point between Takaka mud-flats and Collingwood. 

 At a point nearer Collingwood I found several stunted plants 

 froni 1 to 2 feet high on the face of a cliff ; but as the leaves had 

 not assumed the tomentose condition characteristic of the mature 

 state of this species, I hesitate to pronounce them identical, 

 although their leaves are broader than those of M. robusta, the 

 only species which could be mistaken for it.
