54. *Dichelachne sciurea (R. Br.) Hook, f., M. 157. (— D. montana 



Endl., E. 56.) 

 Kermadecs, New Zealand, Australia. 



55. * Dichelachne crinita (Forst. f.) Hook., M. 157. 



This has been found also in the Kermadecs and Lord Howe, and there- 

 fore is perhaps indigenous to Norfolk Island. 

 New Zealand, Australia. 



56. Agropyron Kingianum (Endl.) Petrie comb. nov. (= Triticum 



Kingianum, E. 58, M. 161.) 



As Mr. Petrie pointed out to me, this is a true Agropyron. I collected 

 it on the cliffs of Phillip Island. This is perhaps the first time it has been 

 collected since Bauer's visit in 1801-5. The grass seems to be completely 

 restricted to Phillip Island. 



57. *Agropyron scabrum (R. Br.) Beauv., M. 160, E. 57. 

 Lord Howe, New Zealand, Australia. 



Cyperaceae. 



58. Kyllinga monocephala Rottb., M. 135. 



Abundant in watercourses and wetter pastures. 



A common water-weed of warmer countries, and perhaps introduced. 



Lord Howe, New Caledonia, &c. 



59. Mariscus haematodes (Endl.) Laing comb. nov. (= Cyperus haema- 



todes Endl., E. 59, M. 132.) 



" Moo-oo grass " of the islanders. Formerly abundant on the banks of 

 streams, &c. Now getting scarce, as it is largely used for basket- and hat- 

 making. Also on Phillip Island (Bauer, R. M. L.). 



Lord Howe, Australia. 



I have transferred this to the genus Mariscus, as the glumes are per- 

 sistent, the rhachilla coming away finally above the two lowest. 



60. Cyperus congestus Vahl., M. 134. 



Common in watercourses. 



In the specimens examined by me there were only two stamens, instead 

 of three as in description. 



Australia, South Africa. 



G. rotundus, according to Maiden, also occurs on the island, but it is 

 probably an introduction. 



61. Eleocharis acuta R. Br., M. 136. 



Common in swampy ground. 

 Kermadecs, New Zealand, Australia. 



62. Scirpus nodosus (R. Br.) Rottb., M. 137. (= Ficinia guttata, E. 61.) 



Common, particularly on the coastal cliffs, Phillip Island (R. M. L.). 

 Kermadecs, Lord Howe, New Zealand, Australia, and widely in south 

 temperate zone. 



63. Scirpus lacustris Linn., M. 139. 



Creek Mission paddock and elsewhere. 



New Zealand, Australia, and in most warm and temperate countries.
