 New Zealand. 



Senrcio ccnlropappus, F. M. ratal. Melb. Bot. Gard. 1858, 

 pag. 26. Descends at least to 2000 feet on Mt. Wellington, 

 which as yet remains the only known locality of this singular 

 plant. It attains a height of at least 20 feet. 



Senccio pectinatus, Cand. prodr. vi. 372 ; var. ochroleuca. 

 This variety is frequent on the alpine plateau of Mt. Wel- 

 lington, but I did not observe it on Mt. Field East. It pro- 

 duces short-toothed leaves, single flower heads and ligules 

 almost white. Although S. pectinatus is widely spread over 

 the Australian Alps, I never noticed it with cream-colored 

 rays. S. leptocarpus, a variety of this plant, occurs on Mt. 

 Field East.
