Cyperaceae. Oreobolus R. Br. includes 4 species, 1 in New Zealand, 1 in New- 

 Zealand, Tasmania and Victoria, 1 in Sandwich Ids., 1 in southern Chile, Fuegia 

 and Falkland. The New Zealand species, 0. pumilio R. Br. and 0. strictus Berggr. 

 stand near the South American 0. obtusangulus Gaud. Carpha R. Br. (2), C. 

 alpina R. Br. in Auckland Id., New Zealand, Tasmania, Victoria, and New Guinea, 

 and C. schoenoides Banks et Sol. in Fuegia. Clarke considered these to be identical. 

 Schoenus L. (=±= 60, many in Australia and New Zealand). S. -pauciflor us Hook, 

 f. (New Zealand) hardly differs from S. antarcticus Hook. f. (Fuegia). Carex 

 Darwinii Boott var. urolepis (Franch.) Kiik. is found in Fuegia and in Chatham 

 Id. C. pumila Thunb. extends from New Zealand over Tasmania and Australia 

 to eastern Asia, and also occurs in Chile. C. trifida Cav. is found in Fuegia, 

 Falkland Ids., New Zealand, Auckland Id., and Campbell Id. Of the section 

 Bracteosae (6) 1 occurs in Mexico, 4 in South America (1 to southern Chile) and 

 1 in New Zealand. The section Echinochlaenae (20) has 16 species in New Zea- 

 land, 1 in Tasmania, 1 in Australia, 1 in Juan Fernandez, and 1 in southern Chile. 

 Of the section Unciniaeformes subsection Aciculares (4) 3 are Andine (= 2 extend 

 to the Falkland Ids.) and 1 is found in New Zealand, Tasmania, and Victoria. 

 The genus Uncinia Pers. (24) is confined to America (Mexico and West Indies 

 to Fuegia), Tristan d'Acunha, New Zealand, and Australia. One species reaches 

 New Guinea, and 1 Kerguelen and North Amsterdam Id., both belonging to the 

 section Stenandrae, including 17 species. Of these 13 occur in New Zealand 

 (7 being endemic), 4 in temperate and subantarctic America, 1, U. macrolepis 

 Dene, is found in Chile and in New Zealand. 



Restionaceae. Leptocarpus R. Br. (21) : 1 in New Zealand, 11 in Australia, 

 1 in eastern Asia, 7 in South Africa, and 1 in Chile. 



Centrolepidaceae. Gaimardia Gaud. (3), G. australis Gaud. (Fuegia, Falk- 

 land Ids.) corresponds to G. setacea Hook. t. in New Zealand. The third species 

 in Tasmania. 



Juncaceae. Marsippospermum Desv. (3), M. gracile (Hook, f.) Buch. in 

 New Zealand, Auckland and Campbell Ids. is nearly related to M. Reichei Buch. 

 (Patagonian and Fuegian Andes). The third species, M. grandiflorum L. f. occurs 

 in Patagonia, Fuegia and the Falkland Ids. Rostkovia Desv. (monotypic), R. 

 magellanica (Lam.) Hook. f. in Magellan, Falkland, South Georgia, and Camp- 

 bell Id. J uncus L. J. planifolius R. Br. in Auckland Id., Chatham Id., New 

 Zealand, Tasmania, Australia and south Chile. In the Pflanzenreich Buchenau's 

 29th Section of this genus comprises 7 species, all nearly related; of these 2 be- 

 long to the New Zealand district and 5 to the southern Andes, some reaching 

 Fuegia, Falkland Ids., and South Georgia. One of the American species, J. 

 scheuchzerioides Gaud., is reported from New Zealand, and the Auckland, Camp- 

 bell and Antipodes Ids., but there is reason to doubt the identity of the plants 

 from these localities. Luzula racemosa Desv. typica occurs from Mexico to 

 Fuegia; the varieties Traversii Buch. and ulophylla Buch. represent the species 

 in New Zealand. 



Liliaceae. Astelia Banks et Sol. (12) has its headquarters in New Zealand, 

 with 6 species; the others being in Australia, Fiji, and the Sandwich Ids., with 

 1, A. pumila R. Br. in Fuegia and the Falklands Ids. The last-named species 

 has been considered as corresponding to A. linearis Hook. f. (New Zealand, 

 Auckland Id., Campbell Id.), but the two do not seem to'be very near each other.
