 with four other species of Fagus — F. Menziesii, F. fusca, F.

Thelymitra intermedia. 



Vicinity of Kaitaia ; R. H. Matthews ! Also a single

Thelymitra decora. 



This species has evidently a much more extended range 

 than I supposed when I first described it. Waimarino Plains, 

 and south-western base of Tongariro, growing sparingly amongst 

 T. uniflora and T. longifolia, altitude 2,500-3,700 ft. ; T. F. C. 

 Near Taumarunui ; T. F. C. Among Leptospermum scrub at 

 Cowes, Waiheke ; J. H. Harvey ! 



Thelymitra uniflora. 



The most abundant species on the Waimarino Plains, be- 

 tween Central Trunk Railway and Ruapehu ; altitude, 2,000- 

 3,500 ft. 



Most plentiful on boggy ground, amongst Schcenus pau- 

 ciflorus, Carpha, Oreobolus, &c, but not absent from the drier 

 portions of the plains as well. 



Pterostylis barbata. 



I am indebted to Mr. B. A. M orison, of Wanganui, for 

 sending me a sketch of what is undoubtedly this species, pre- 

 pared from specimens obtained by Mr. E. H. Atkinson at Day's 

 Bay, near Wellington. This is a marked southern extension 

 of the range of the species, which was not previously known 

 further south than the Upper Thames Valley. Mr. J. H. 

 Harvey forwards a 2-flowered specimen obtained on Waiheke 

 Island. 



Lyperanthus antarcticus. 



Moist places on the subalpine 5 meadows of Mount^Hector, 

 Tararua Range ; altitude, 3,000-4,000 ft. ; D. Petrie I 



So far as I am aware, this is the first record of the occurrence 

 of the species in the North Island.
