 tane tussock steppe, local. L. C.

Ranunculus Godleyanus, Hook. f. 



South Island : Canterbury — Upper Rakaia ; but saw only one plant, 

 which was growing on the river-bed in a shallow stream. M. C. Gudex !

 the river.

Ranunculus Traversii, Hook. f. 



Mr. Willcox collected a plant on Mount Earnslaw with cream-coloured 

 flowers which may belong to the above. 



For some remarks re this "species," see my first paper of this series 

 (Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. xxxvii, p. 364 ).

The above seems to me much more closely related to B. subpauperatus, 

 Cockayne, than to R. schmidelioides, A. Cunn.
