694 THE FLORA OF NORFOLK ISLAND, 



scattered literature of the botany of this very interesting ocean 

 island, I trust that the present contribution may be found useful. 

 " Stick " is the term used in Norfolk Island for what on the 

 mainland is universally known as the "bush."'

1. Clematis glycinoides, DC. — New for the Island. 

 '-'■Clematis hidivisa, Willd., in Dec, Prod, v, 1, p. 5. C. inteyri- 



/olia, Forst. non Linn. Common on the Cascade Road," is 

 quoted from Allan Cunningham's Notes by Heward (lo, p. 121) 

 as having been found })y Cunningham in Norfolk Island, but I 

 did not find it. Perhaps a slip of the pen for C. glycinoides, DC. 

 " C. coccidifob'a, A. Cunn., in Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. i, iv. 260, 



from Norfolk Island has most of the leaves simple 



and orbicular" (B.Fl. i. p. 7). This is a New Zealand species, 

 and its occurrence on Norfolk Island should be confirmed. 



2. Ranunculus parviflorus, Linn. — In mud at the Cockpit 

 and in many other places. New for the Island.

Drimys Hoiceana, F.v. M.,Fragm. vii. 17, is recorded from Nor- 

 folk Island by Tate. I have not seen a specimen.

Stephania discolor, Spreng., Syst. iv. Cur. Post. 31 G (6'. her- 

 nandicefolia, Walp.*), occurs in Lord Howe Island and in many 

 places to the north of Norfolk Island, but I am not aware that 

 it has been recorded for the latter Island. 



* This name is given in B.Fl. i. 57, and in "Die Flora der Deutscher 



Schutzgebiete in der Siidsee " (Schumann and Lauterbach).
