COEALLOSPARTIUM . 



The only species is restricted to the mountains of Canter- 

 bury and Otago. Local, but more plentiful in Otago than in 

 Canterbury. 



HUTTONELLA. 



H. juncea. From the East Cape, Eotorua, Taupo, to Can- 

 terbury and Central Otago. Possibly two species are included 

 under this name. 



H. curta. Waitaki Valley. 



H. compacta. Central and Northern Otago ; local. 



H. prona. Broken Eiver basin, Canterbury ; 2,800ft. 



NOTOSPARTIUM. 



N. carmichaelia. Hook. f. Marlborough, from the Awatere 

 to the southern boundary of the province, but, unhappily, 

 has been extirpated in many habitats. Ascends to nearly 

 2,000ft. in ravines and valleys. 



N. torulosum, n.s. From the Mason Eiver, Nelson, to 

 Mount Peel, Canterbury, but rare and local. 



From the above it will be seen that seven species of Car- 

 michaelia are common to both islands, but in very unequal 

 degree ; four having a wide distribution in one island, but 

 only a solitary habitat in the other ; the other three are more 

 widely distributed in each. Three species are absolutely 

 restricted to the North Island, two of them being remarkably 

 local. Nine species are restricted to the South Island, two of 

 which are found from Marlborough or Nelson to Otago, the 

 remaining seven being decidedly local. The different species 

 range from sea-level to nearly 5,000ft. 



Corallospartium crassicaule, J. B. Armstrong, is local, and 

 alpine or subalpine in the Districts of Otago and South- 

 land. 



Huttonella juncea, T. Kirk, is diffused from the East Cape 

 to Central Otago, but is decidedly local. 



The other three species are confined to the South Island, 

 one being restricted to the Canterbury District and two to 

 Otago. 



Notospartium, Hook, f., as already stated. 



The following is the arrangement of genera and species 

 adopted in the forthcoming " Student's Flora of New 

 Zealand ": — 



1. Corallospartium, J. B. Armstrong. 

 I. C. crassicaule. 



2. Caemichaelia, R. Br. 

 I. Nayia. Depressed leafless plants with fastigiate compressed branch- 

 lets, forming dense patches lin.-lin. high. Flowers red.
