Cotula (filiformis Hook, f.) ? 



South Island: Nelson — Dry ground amongst Leptospermuni scoparium, 

 vicinity of Hanmer Plains. C. Christensen ! 



C. filiformis has not been recorded, except in Armstrongs list of 

 Canterbury plants, since its original discovery some fifty years ago. I 

 am not at all sure of my identification, but am sending a specimeii to Kew. 



Cotula maniototo Petrie. 



South Island : Canterbury — River-bed of Waimakariri, in wet muddy 

 ground, at only a few metres above sea-level. H. Firman and L. C. 



Cheeseman (Manual, p. 354), gives only seven localities for this species, 

 but he remarks that it is probably common throughout the South Island. 



Danthonia australis Buchanan. 



South Island : Nelson — Mount Charon (Hanmer), near summit. L. C. 



The distribution of this remarkable grass is in harmony with the

 its reduction almost to vanishing-point.
