536 Transactions. — Botany. 



Although not so expressed, Mr. Petrie's list is evidently 

 restricted to plants collected by himself. He gives as an 

 appendix a separate list of plants reported to occur in Otago, 

 but not observed by him. This might have been considerably 

 extended. 



In the hope of rendering this Otago Florula still more com- 

 prehensive, I venture to add a few species not included in Mr. 

 Petrie's enumeration, and append a short list of plants which 

 have been erroneously recorded by various authors as indi- 

 genous to the Otago district. In conclusion, I am glad to ac- 

 knowledge my indebtedness for the assistance derived from Mr. 

 Petrie's work during the preparation of the " Student's Flora,' 

 now in the press.

 tribution.
