Art. XXIX. — Note on the Occurrence of the Genera 

 Gunnera and Myosotis in Chatham Islands. 



By L. Cockayne. 



[Read before the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury, 27th February r 



1901.] 



The genera Gunnera and Myosotis have not been recorded as 

 occurring in the Chatham Islands so far as I can ascertain, 

 notwithstanding there is a specimen of the latter, collected 

 by Mr. H. H. Travers, in the herbarium of the Christchurch 

 Museum. It therefore may be of interest to note that I met 

 with both during my recent botanical excursion to Chatham 

 Islands. 



Gunnera monoica, Eaoul, I found growing on the high land 

 some two miles east of the Ngaio. One patch was on wet 

 peaty ground, and another occupied the margin of a neigh- 

 bouring swamp.
