et Sol. has been found in south Chile, Falkland Ids. (the author in 1907), New- 

 Zealand, Chatham Id., Auckland Id. R. crassipes Hook. f. (Kerguelen Id., Mac- 

 quarie Id.) is so near R. biternatus Sm. (Fuegia, Falkland Ids., South Georgia, 

 Marion and Crozet Ids., New Amsterdam Id.) that most authors consider them 

 to be identical. However, I do not join in this judgment. The leaves are very 

 different, the first mentioned generally has tetramerous flowers, the latter pen- 

 tamerous. Unfortunately the material of R. crassipes at hand is too scanty for 

 confirming my impression that there are other differences in the flower and fruit. 

 Cheeseman kept them separate in his Flora (1906), but later (Subantarctic Ids. 

 of New Zealand II, 1909) reduced them to 1 species, pointing out that Mac- 

 quarie Id. specimens have their leaves almost as much divided as R. biter- 

 natus from Punta Arenas, figured by Wildeman in the Botany of the Belgica 

 Expedition (plate xii). However, Wildeman' s determination is incorrect, for 

 the plate in question represents quite another species, R. fuegianus Speg. 



Magnoliaceae. Drimys Forst. (17) : 3 in New Zealand, 4 in Australia, 1 in 

 New Guinea, 4 in New Caledonia, 1 in Lord Howe Id., 1 in Borneo, 1 in Venezuela, 

 1 in Brazil, 1 in South America from Mexico to Fuegia. D. winteri Forst. some- 

 what corresponding to D. axillaris Forst. in New Zealand. 



Monimiaceae. Laurelia Juss. (3): L. Novae Zelandiae A. Cunn. in New 

 Zealand, L. sempervirens Tul. and L. serrata Phil, in south Chile. It is very near 

 the Australian Atherosperma. 



Cruciferae.. Cardamine glacialis (Forst.) DC. is found in Chile to Fuegia, 

 and Falkland Ids., in New Zealand, Auckland and Campbell Ids. 



Droseraceae. Drosera L. sect. Psychophila (3) : 1 in New Zealand, 1 in 

 New Zealand, Tasmania and Australia, and 1 in south Chile, Fuegia and Falk- 

 land Ids. 



Crassulaceae. Crassula moschata Forst. (Chile to Fuegia, Falkland Ids., 

 Kerguelen Id., Marion, Id., New Zealand and Subantarctic Ids.) is circumpolar. 



Rosaceae. Geum parvifloriwn Sm. and G. magellanicum Comm. in south 

 Chile, Fuegia and New Zealand. Of the former I have compared specimens from 

 both regions; the New Zealand ones are more villous, with very long hairs, the 

 others have the leaves sparingly pubescent and a much shorter and denser pu- 

 bescence on the upper part of the scapes. I have seen no materal of G. ■magel- 

 lanicum from New Zealand. A third species, G. albiflorum (Hook, f.) Cheesem. 

 (Auckland Id.) is very near G. parviflorum.. Acaena L. sect. Acrobyssinoidae 

 includes 6 species in Chile and Fuegia (1 also in South Georgia) and 1 in 

 Tasmania. Acaena sect. Ancistrum, subsect. Euancistrum has two groups (17) 

 ranging from temperate South America to Falkland Ids., 1 (2) in New Zealand, 

 1 (3) with 1 in New Zealand, Tasmania and Australia, 1 in New Amsterdam Id., 

 and 1 in Tristan d'Acunha. The group Laevigatae includes 1 in south Chile, 

 Fuegia and Falkland Ids., and 1 in New Zealand. Whether A. adscendens Vahl 

 (Magellan, Falkland Ids., South Georgia, Prince Edward and Crozet Ids., Ker- 

 guelen Id.) really occurs in Macquarie Id. is an open question. 



Legxjminosae. Sophora tetraptera Ait. coll. with varieties or subspecies in 

 New Zealand, Lord Howe Id., Easter Id., Juan Fernandez and south Chile. 



Geraniaceae. Geranium, L. sect. Chilensia (23): 22 are found in South Amer- 

 ica (most of them are Chilean) and 1 in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. 

 Near this section stands sect. Australiensia with 1 in Java, 1 in Australia, Tas-
