320 Transactions. — Botany. 



already published a note as to its seedling form (9, p. 373), 

 and shown it to be probably distinct from that of any other 

 hitherto described New Zealand species of Sophora. 



8. Geranium traversii, Hook, f., var. elegans, var. nov. 

 Petals pink, veined on upper surface with fine lines of 



darker pink. The typical G. traversii has white flowers. 



9. Linum monogynum, Forst., var. chathamicum, var. nov. 



Petals broadly striped or flaked with pale blue. The 

 type has white flowers. 



10. Olearia chathamica var. dendyi, var. nov. 



Tomentum (when dry) yellower and denser than that of 

 the type. Florets purple. The type has white florets, 

 which, when fading, are of a purplish colour. 



Hab. Pitt Island. Collected by Professor A. Dendy, 

 after whom I have much pleasure in naming this variety. 



11. Agropyrum coxii, Petrie, sp. nov. 



A description of this very distinct grass by Mr. Petrie is, 

 I understand, to appear in the same volume of the Transac- 

 tions as this paper. 



12. Poa chathamica, Petrie, sp. nov. 



Mr. Petrie considers this grass closely related to P. anceps. 

 A description is included in the same paper as that con- 

 taining Agropyrum coxii. 



Plants collected during the Author's Visit which had 

 not been previously recorded for the chathams. 



Acana nova-zelandice, T. Kirk. 

 Gladium gunnii, Hook. f. 

 Epilobiwn ccespitosum, Hausskn. 



„ peduncular e, A. Cunn.

„ novce-zelandia, Hausskn(?). 



Galium tenuicaule, A. Cunn. 

 Gunnera monoica, Raoul.

 Myosotis spathulata, Forst. So named in Kirk's hand- 

 writing in the herbarium of Christchurch Museum. 



There are probably also one or two undescribed species of 

 Veronicas amongst my collection.
