Laing. — Revised List of tin Norfolk hi and Flora. 17 



A special note perhaps is required about Cynodon dactylon Linn., which 

 I r also exclude. It is the common pasture grass of the island, yet I did not 

 see it on Phillip Island, only three or four miles away. It is not recorded 

 before Maiden's list, and is probably not indigenous. Maiden includes the 

 grass both in his list of indigenous and introduced species. 



44. Andropogon refractus R. Br., M. 151, E. 55. 



Not uncommon. 



Australia, Malaya, Pacific islands. 



45. *Panicum norfolkianum Nees, E. 52, M. 144. 

 Apparently an endemic species ; not recently collected. 



46. Panicum crus-galli Linn., E. 51, M. 146. 



According to Cheeseman, who kindly identified this for me, an unusually 

 long-awned form. 



Widely distributed in the tropics. 



47. Panicum sanguinale Linn. var. ciliatum Retz.. M. 147. 



Norfolk Island, Phillip Island. 



I retain this, as I found it on the cliffs of Phillip Island, where it is 

 quite unlikely to have been introduced. 



Kermadecs, Lord Howe. New Zealand, Australia, and warmer regions. 



48. Paspalum scrobiculatum Linn. 



Norfolk Island, Phillip Island (R, M. L.). 



Kermadecs, New Zealand, Australia, Tonga, and warmer countries. 



49. Oplismenus compositus Beauv., E. 54, M. 149. 



Abundant in the forests. 



A common tropical and subtropical plant. 



50. Oplismenus undulatifolius (Kunth.) Be<;>uv.. M. 150. (=0. aemulus 



R. Br., E. 53.) 

 Scarcely distinct from the previous, and common on the forest floor. 

 Kermadecs. Lord Howe, New Zealand, Australia, Polynesia, and widely. 



51. Cenchrus calyculatus Cav. 



Edge of coastal cliffs, near Anson's Bay. 

 Kermadecs, Australia, New Caledonia, and warmer regions. 

 A new record for the island ; from its situation scarcely likely to have 

 been introduced. 



52. * Echinopogon ovatus Beauv., M. 154. 



This may have beeu introduced, but is a probable indigene. Recorded 

 by Maiden only. 



Lord Howe, Australia, New Zealand. 



53. Deyeuxia filiformis (Forster) Petrie. (= D. Forsteri Kunth., M. 156.) 



Damp ground. 



Though not' recorded previous to Maiden's list, I retain this. As one 

 of the Norfolk Island forms is very slender, and perhaps distinct enough 

 to be regarded as a variety, it is therefore scarcely likely to have been 

 introduced. The typical form also occurs. 



Kermadecs. Lord Howe, New Zealand, Australia.
