New to New Zealand. The specimen is very common in many 
parts of Australia and has lately been recorded from the Kermadecs 
(Gepp Lc.). It is curious that such a conspicuous and distinct plant

his species which is an addition to the New Zealand flora is 
comparatively rare. J. Agardh described the plant from Port 
Phillip Heads, Victoria, and Mr. and Mrs. Gepp record it from the 
ermadec islands. A specimen from the same islands exists in the 
Kew Herbarium, collected during the visit of = M.S. “ Herald” 
in 1854, and labelled Zonaria lobata.

The eg sent from Little Barrier are et same as those col- 
lected by Harvey in Victoria, and sent out by him as ZL. viscida, in 
his “ Australian Algae” (354 B.) Dr. R. Piles and Herr Zeh 
of Berlin have a been working on the genus, and have examined 
material in the Herbarium of the British Museum. Herr
