Art. XV. — Notes of a Botanical Visit to Herekopere Island, Stewart Island. 



By D. L. Poppelwell. 



[Read before the Otago Institute, 4th August, ]'J14.] 



On the 27th November, 1913, I visited this island, which lies in Foveaux 

 Strait, about five or six miles from Half-moon Bay. As it is one of the 

 few islands upon which Senecio Stewartiae grows, and is, moreover, the 

 most northerly known habitat of both that plant and Poa foliosa, a few 

 notes on the plant formations may prove interesting. 



We approached the island from the south-west, and thus had an oppor- 

 tunity of viewing its physiognomy from the weather quarter. The coast 

 from this side presents a series of rocky faces, only here and there traversable.
