Cheeseman. — On the Flora of the Kermadec Islands. 17 -J 



69. Carex sp. 



Sunday and Macaulay Islands. The specimens are not 

 sufficient to determine the species, but the leaves much 

 resemble those of the Norfolk Island C. neesiana. 



70. Carex sp. 



Sunday Island. Smaller, and with narrower foliage 

 than the preceding. 



38. Gramineje. 



71. Paspalum scrobiculatum, L. 



Denham Bay, Sunday Island. New Zealand, Australia, 

 Polynesia, tropical Asia and Africa. 



72. *Panicum (Digitaria) sanguinale, L. 



Sunday Island ; plentiful, and apparently truly native. 

 Lord Howe's Island, Australia, Polynesia, and most warm 

 countries. 



73. *Panicuni (Digitaria) sp. 



Shaded places on Sunday Island. 



74. *Oplismenus compositus, Beauv. 



Shaded places on Sunday Island ; abundant. Lord Howe's 

 Island, Australia, Polynesia, and most tropical countries. 



75. Oplismenus setarius, Roem. and Sch. 



Sunday and Macaulay Islands ; common in shaded places. 

 New Zealand, Norfolk Island, Lord Howe's Island, Australia, 

 Polynesia, and most tropical countries. 



70. ''■' Cenchrus calyculatus, Cav. 



Sandy flat on the north side of Sunday Island. Polynesia, 

 from the Sandwich Islands to New Caledonia and Tonga. 



77. *Imperata arundinacea, Cyr. 



Cliffs on the north side of Sunday Island ; plentiful, 

 Australia, Polynesia, and many other temperate and tropical 

 countries. 



78. *Polypogon monspeliensis, Desv. 



Macaulay Island ; not uncommon. Not seen on Sunday 

 Island. This is usually considered to be a very doubtful 

 native of the Southern Hemisphere, although Bentham gives 

 it a place in the " Flora Australiensis." Had it been observed 

 on Sunday Island, I should have considered it naturalized ; 

 but it is hard to see how it could be carried to Macaulay 

 Island, which has always been uninhabited, and which is 

 perhaps not landed on once in ten years. Temperate and 

 sub-tropical regions of the old world ; Australia ? 



79. Dichelachne sciurea, Hook. f. 



Macaulay Island ; not uncommon. New Zealand, Norfolk 

 Island, Australia.
