Distribution. 

 Cakmichaelia. 



It is remarkable that, while six species of Garmichaelia 

 are common to the North and South Islands, no species 

 extends over the entire area of the genus. 



C. austra.lis, E. Br., is found from the North Cape to the 

 northern part of the Wellington District, and has a solitary 

 outlying habitat in Queen Charlotte Sound, South Island. 

 It ascends from sea-level to 3,000ft. 



C. odorata, Col., occurs from the Euahine Mountains to 

 Cook Strait, with a single outlying habitat in Pelorus Sound, 

 South Island. 



G. flagelliformis, Col., is found from the East Cape to 

 Milford Sound and Te Anau Lake, which can hardly be its 

 extreme southern limit. 



G. diffusa, Petrie, which is scarcely satisfactory as a 

 species, has a single habitat in the Wellington District, and 

 is also found in Canterbury and Otago, although remarkably 

 local. 



G. suhulata, n.s., occurs on the East Cape, if the identifi- 

 cation be correct, but is plentiful in Marlborough and Canter- 

 bury. 



G. enysii, T. Kirk, is found on the Eangipo Plain, in the 

 North Island, and in several localities in Canterbury and 

 Otago. 



G. nana, Hook, f., occurs from Taupo to Central Otago, 

 and is probably more plentiful over a wider area than any 

 other species. 



The following are restricted to the North Island : — 



G. williamsii, T. Kirk. Only found at the northern ex- 

 tremity of the East Cape ; is the rarest and most local of all 

 the species. 



G. acuminata, n.s. White Eock, East Coast. 



G. hookert, n.s. Akitio Eiver to Pencarrow Lagoon. 



The following are only found in the South Island : — 



G. uniflora, T. Kirk. Nelson ; Canterbury ; North Otago. 



G. monroi, Hook, f . Marlborough to Otago ; ascends to 

 4,500ft. 



G. grandiflora, Hook f. Nelson, Canterbury, and Otago. 



G. robnsta, n.s. Canterbury Plains and Broken Eiver 

 basin. 



G. petriei, n.s. Upper valley of the Clutha, Otago. 



G. violacea, n.s. Coleridge Pass, Canterbury. 



G. virgata, n.s. Otago(?), Southland. Attains the ex- 

 treme south limit of the genus near the mouth of the Waiau 

 Eiver. 



G. kirkii. Hook. f. Canterbury and Otago, but local. 



C. angustata, n.s. Valley of the Buller, Nelson.
