River to Waikawa, Lindsay, Buchanan! Petrie! Kirk! Mount Bonpland, 
Martin ; Lake Harris, H. J. Matthews. January-February.

Stewart IstanD: Summit of Mount Anglem, Kirk ! Altitudinal range 
2500-5000 ft. December—January. 
This comes very close to large forms of C. discolor, being only separable 
by the larger and much more membranous leaves, which are dull-green above 
and clothed with thin tomentum beneath. 
16. C. Traversii, Hook. f. Handb. N.Z. Fl. 134.—Root stout, 
tapering. Leaves 6-16in. long including the petiole, 14-24 in.

dark brownish-green and glabrous above except the silky midrib, 
under-surface and margins clothed with rich soft and thick velvety 
ferruginous tomentum; midrib beneath glabrous, dark - purple ; 
petiole from one-half to as long as the blade, purple; upper surface 
and sheaths with loose snow-white tomentum. Scapes stout, 
8-20 in. long, densely clothed with ferruginous tomentum; bracts

Waiau, Kirk ! 3500-5500 ft. December—January. 
A magnificent species, remarkable for the bright ferruginous tomentum of 
the under-surface of the leaves, the purple midrib, and the snow-white tomen- 
tum of the sheaths. I have not seen specimens from the south of Lake Tenny- 
son.
