Cockayne. — Plants of Chatham Island. 321 



Species recorded in Buchanan's List the Occurrence 

 of which seems very doubtful. 



Epilobium confertifolium, Hook, f., var. a. 



Aciphylla lyallii, Hook, f., and Aciphylla monroi, Hook. f. 

 These two are most likely forms of A. traversii. 



Coprosma baueriana, Endl. = Goprosma chathamica, sp. 

 nov. 



Br achy come sinclairii, Hook. f. = perhaps Lagenophora 

 forsteri. 



Pratia macrodon, Hook. f. = Pratia arenaria, Hook. f. 



Dracophyllum rosmarinifolium, Hook. f. = depauperated 

 forms of D. paludosum, sp. nov. 



Gentiana pleicrogynoictes, Griesb. = G. pleurogynoides var. 

 umbellata, Kirk, which is probably a distinct species, as 

 suggested to me as possible by both Mr. Petrie and Mr. 

 Cheeseman. 



Veronica salicifolia, Forst. = V. gigantea, sp. nov. 



Myrsine nummularia, Hook. f. = M. coxii, sp. nov. 



Areca sapida, Sol. = Bhopalostylis baueri, Wendl. and 

 Drude('?). Whatever species the Chatham Island palm may 

 be, it is not B. sapida, for it differs altogether from that 

 species in the seedling form. 



Astelia cunning hamii, Hook. f. 



Poa folios a, Hook, f., var. a. 



Trisetum subspicatum, Beauv.
