NOTES ON SUB ANTARCTIC FLORAS 137 



species, of them 67 are endemic in New Zealand, 1 in New Zealand and eastern 

 Australia, and V. elliptica Forst. in New Zealand and the Subantarctic Ids., 

 Fuegia and Falkland Ids. I have compared a set of specimens in flower and 

 fruit from New Zealand, Fuegia and Falkland Ids. The Falkland plants differed 

 in having slightly shorter, broader and much more obtuse calyx and corolla lobes 

 and a shorter style, but the Fuegian specimens agreed very well with those from 

 New Zealand. The rather variable Veronica salicifolia Forst. from New Zealand 

 also includes V. Fonckii Phil, found in south Chile between 44° and 45° S. {Eu- 

 phrasia antarctica Benth. has been reported from South America and New Zealand, 

 but Wettstein showed that the latter plant is a very distinct species, E. zealandica 

 Wettst. All the species in New Zealand and Australia belong to Sect. I, Eueu- 

 phrasia, while the Chilean and other plants form Sect. II, Trifidae). 



Plantaginaceae. Plantago L. sect. Plantaginella (13) : 9 Andine (Mexico, 

 to Fuegia and Falkland Ids.), 1 in New Zealand, 1 in New Zealand, Auckland 

 Id., and Tasmania, 1 in Tasmania, and 1 in Australia. 



Rubiaceae. Nertera Banks et Sol. (8-9): 2 in eastern Asia, 1 or 2 in the Phil- 

 ippine Ids., 1 in Australia and 4 in New Zealand, among the latter N. depressa 

 Banks having a very wide distribution (New Zealand, Auckland and Campbell 

 Ids., Tasmania, Australia, Tristan d'Acunha, Mexico to Fuegia, Falkland Ids., 

 Juan Fernandez, and the Sandwich Ids.). 



Campanulaceae. Pratia Gaud. (20 ="=): 3 in New Zealand, 4 in Australia, 

 1 in New Guinea, 3 in Asia, 1 in the Philippine Ids., about 8 from Andine South 

 America to Fuegia and Falkland Ids. 



Goodeniaceae. Selliera Cav. (2) : 1 in West Australia, the other, S. radicans 

 Cav. in New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia, and Chile. 



Stylidiaceae. An order nearly confined to the Australian region, especially 

 richly developed in West Australia; 3 species of Stylidium (103) in the monsoon 

 region. Phyllacne Forst. (4): 3 in New Zealand (1 also in Auckland Id. and 

 Campbell Id.), 1 in Fuegia. 



Donatiaceae. A monotypic order. Donatio, Forst. (2) : D. fasciculata Forst. 

 in south Chile and Fuegia, D. Novae Zelandiae Hook. f. in New Zealand (and 

 Tasmania?). 



Compositae. Lagenophora Cass. (16): 6 in New Zealand, 4 in Australia, 

 1 in Fiji, 1 in Sandwich Ids., 4 in Andine South America (1 extending to Fuegia 

 and Falkland Ids.). L. Forsteri DC. (New Zealand) stands rather near the Chil- 

 ean species. Cotula L. (50-60) sect. Leptinella: well developed in New Zealand 

 (17), some of the species, especially C. plumosa Hook. f. (New Zealand, Sub- 

 antarctic Ids., Crozet Id., Kerguelen Id.) is near C. scariosa (Cass.) Franch. 

 (south Chile to Fuegia and Falkland Ids.). Abrotanella Cass. (14): 7 in New 

 Zealand, 2 in Tasmania, 1 in Victoria, 1 in Rodriguez Id., 3 in subantarctic 

 America. A. muscosa Kirk (New Zealand) is closely allied to A. emarginata 

 Cass. (Fuegia, Falkland Ids.), others, as A. caespitosa Petrie and A. spathulata 

 Hook. f. (New Zealand), are related to the Fuegian A. linearifolia Gray and 

 A. submarginata Gray. 



There are 49 natural orders represented in the above list. 

 Even if, as I hope, a number of new examples have been added,
