the Macaulay, Aaast. Otago—Mountains near Lakes Wanaka and Ohau, 
Buchanan ! Altitudinal range 2500-5000 ft. 
This and the two following species differ from Cardamine in the seeds being 
2-seriate. 
6. C. latesiliqua, Cheesem. mm Trans. N.Z. Inst. xv. (1883) 298. 
—Rootstock stout, spongy, as thick as the finger, often branched at 
the top, each division furnished with a rosette of densely crowded 
radical leaves. Flowering-stems few or many, erect or spreading, 
pet, leafy at the base, 6-24in. high. Radical leaves 3-6 in. 
long, 4-2 in. broad, narrow linear-spathulate to obovate-spathulate, 
gradually narrowed to the base, coarsely serrate above, thick and 
coriaceous, more or less villous, especially on the margins. Upper 
cauline leaves smaller, lanceolate, nearly entire. Flowers rather 
large, white, very numerous. Petals nearly 4in. long, spathulate, 
on long claws. Pods erect or suberect, usually curved, somewhat 
turgid, 14-24 in. long, 4+in. broad. Seeds numerous, compressed, 
reddish-brown.—Kirk, Students’ Fl. 28. 
SoutH Istanp: Nelson— Mount Arthur, 7. F. C., Bryant! Gibbs! Mount 
Owen and the Raglan Mountains, 7. Ff. C. Altitudinal range 3000-5500 ft. 
December—January. 
A handsome plant, with much of the habit and general appearance of 
C. fastigiata, but easily distinguished by the villous leaves, larger flowers, and 
much broader pods, which have a turgid appearance very unusual in the genus. 
7. C. Enysii, Cheesem. MSS.— Short, stout, 2-4in. high. 
Rootstock thick and fleshy, perpendicular, in. diam., bearing at its 
summit numerous radical leaves, and a short flowering-stem which 
is much branched from the base, and forms a rounded or pyramidal 
head 2-5in. diam. Leaves 4-l4in. long, $-4in. broad, oblong- 
spathulate, obtuse or subacute, narrowed into a broad flat petiole, 
rather thin, sharply serrate, sometimes almost pinnatifid, more or 
less densely clothed ou both surfaces with stellate pubescence. 
Cauline leaves linear or linear-spathulate, toothed towards the tip. 
Flowers numerous, corymbose, white. Pedicels slender, spreading, 
4+-t+in. long. Petals spathulate, with long claws. Pods (imma- 
ture) narrow-linear, flat, about lin. long. Seeds numerous, in 2 
series.—Kirk, Students’ Fl. 28. 
Sourn Istanp: Canterbury —Mountains at the head of the Broken River, 
alt. 6500 ft., J. D. Hnys and 7’. F.C ; Craigieburn Mountains, alt. 6000 ft., 
Cockayne! Otago—Mount Ida, 5000 ft., Petrie ! 
A very remarkable plant, easily separated from the two preceding species by 
the smaller size, depressed habit, and stellate pubescence. The seeds are too 
immature in all my specimens to allow me to determine the position of the 
radicle, and it is possible that the plant may not belong to Cardamine.
