25. " Scirpus Carsei " Kiikentli. sp. no v. (In litt. Nov., 1913.) 



" Proxima S. pauciflorus Lightf. utriculis plano-convexis jnarginibus 

 non incrassatis evidenter rostratis distincte." 



Growing on muddy margin of channel leading to Lake Tangonge, 

 Kaitai^. H. B. Matthews ! 



This is a small leafy Scirpus, a few inches high. It got, almost by 

 accident, among a lot of sedges I was sending to Oberpfarrer Kiikenthal 

 some years ago, and was described from one small specimen. My own 

 opinion, in which I have the support of Mi*. Oheeseman's opinion, is that 

 it is merely a depauperated state of Scirpus lenticularis Poir., which occurs 

 plentifully in the adjacent lake. 



26. Schoenus Carsei Cheeseman. 



In morass, Wharekia, Rangaunu Harbour. Not previously reported 

 from north of Whangarei district, where I originally discovered the plant. 



27. Cladium glomeratum R. Br. forma major Kiikenth. form. nov. 



" Foliis crassioribus, inflorescentia longiore, habitu elatiore." (Kiiken- 

 thal in litt., 1913.) 



A much larger plant than the usual form. Leaves more numerous, 

 5-7 fti. long, compressed below ; stems 4-6 ft. high, much less numerous 

 than in the type ; panicle 6-16 in. long. Nutlets rather large. 



In wet places, Kaitaia and Tauroa ; not common. 



28. Cladium Huttonii T. Kirk. 



In swamps, usually near the sea ; plentiful. 



29. Cladium junceum R. Br. var. elatior Carse var. nov. 

 Culmus multo longior, 1-1*5 m., panicula ramosa 5-10 cm. longa. 



A very tall slender form with culms 3 ft. to 4 ft. 6 in. long. The 

 panicles are more branched than usually, and are 2-4 in. long. 

 Not uncommon in shaded woods, Tauroa. 



30. Lepidospermum filiforme Labill. 



I first noted this handsome sedge in New Zealand from the Peria Gum 

 Hills. It also occurs sparingly near Kaitaia, and plentifully on moor- 

 lands near the Rangaunu Harbour. 



31. Uncinia uncinata (L. f.) Kiikenth. var. laxior var. nov. 



A more robust plant than the type. Calms far overtopping the leaves, 

 2-3 ft. long. Spikes slender, 6 in. long. Lax throughout. 



Near to Kiikenthal's U. pedicellata, but a much larger plant in all 



points. 



From the North Cape to Ahipara ; rare. 



32. Uncinia riparia R. Br. var. affinis Kiikenth. 



In woods, Tauroa and Kaiaka ; not common. 



One form of this, identified by Kiikenthal, appears to me almost identical 

 with type specimens from the South Island ; this grows in woods near
