213. Epymenia wilsonis, Sond. J. Ag., Anal. Algol., p. 92. 



(E. obtusa : Fl. Nov.-Zel., p 249.) 



Common along the east coast of New Zealand from 

 Paterson's Inlet to Lyall Bay : B. M. L. 



Epymenia obtusa is stated by Agardh (loc. cit.) to be con- 

 fined to South Africa. He further emphasizes as one of the 

 chief differences between E. obtusa and E. toilsonis that in 

 E. wilsonis each fertile leaflet bears only one cystocarp, and 

 in E. obtusa numerous ones. I find on specimens of what I 

 take to be E. toilsonis, from Lyall Bay, that there are 

 several — sometimes four or five — cystocarps on each leaflet, 

 and these sessile when young, though provided with a very 

 short pedicel when old. Evidently we have not as yet got a 

 good definition of our common species of Epymenia.

This is possibly only a form of the preceding. I have also 

 a very distinct plant, apparently an Epymenia, from Welling- 

 ton Harbour. Agardh considered it as probably new.
