2. LOGANTA, R. Br. 
Herbs or small shrubs. Leaves opposite, entire, usually 
connected by a transverse raised stipular line or short sheath, 
rarely with minute setaceous stipules. Flowers small, often uni- 
sexual, in terminal or axillary cymes or solitary. Calyx 5-partite. 
Corolla campanulate or with a cylindrical tube ; lobes 5, rarely 4, 
spreading, imbricate. Stamens 6, rarely 4, inserted on the corolla- 
tube ; filaments filiform; anthers included or exserted. Ovary 2- 
celled ; style simple; stigma capitate or oblong; ovules usually 
several in each cell. Capsule oblong-ovoid or globose, obtuse or 
shortly acuminate, septicidally 2-valved, valves 2-fid, at length 
separating from the placentas. Seeds ovoid or more or less peltate. 
Species 18, all confined to Australia except the following one, which is 
very imperfectly known, and may not belong to the genus. JL. tetragona, 
Hook. f. Handb. N.Z. Fl. 188, and JL. ciliolata, Hook. f. l.c. 737, have been 
proved to be species of Veronica, and are now known as V. dasyphylla and 
V. Gilliesiana, Kirk. LZ. Armstrongii, Buch. in Trans. N.Z. Inst. xiv. (1882) 
347, t 28, f. 3, is Veronica uniflora, Kirk, which see. 
1. L. depressa, Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel. i. 177.—‘‘ A prostrate 
rigid woody shrub ; branches densely interlaced, puberulous. Leaves 
4-1in. long, coriaceous, veinless, linear-obovate or oblong, obtuse. 
Flowers minute, axillary, pedicelled, bracteate, solitary or in 3—6- 
flowered panicles. male only seen. Sepals oblong, obtuse, ciliate. 
Corolla scarcely longer than the calyx: lobes rounded. Filaments 
slender ; anthers large, 2-cleft for half-way up. Ovary imperfect 
in my specimens (which are probably unisexual); style short, 
clavate; stigma oblong, thick. Fruit unknown.’’—Handb. N.Z. 
Fi. 188. 
‘“‘NortH IstANnp: Ruahine Mountains, Colenso. Very closely allied to 
the L. fasciculata, F. Muell., of the Australian Alps. Habit of an alpine 
Coprosma.”’ 
This is unknown to me, not having been collected since its discovery more 
than fifty years ago. I have consequently reproduced the description given by 
Hooker in the Handbook. Mr. N. EH. Brown, who at my request has 
examined the type specimen in the Kew Herbarium, says, ‘‘This appears 
to be a true Logania, but the specimen has male flowers only, which have 
a regular 5-lobed corolla bearded at the throat and 5 stamens alternating with 
the corolla-lobes, affixed near the base of the corolla-tube ; filaments filiform ; 
anthers slightly exserted.”’ 
3. GENIOSTOMA, Forst. 
Glabrous shrubs. Leaves opposite, connected by a transverse 
line or short sheath. Flowers small, in opposite axillary cymes or 
clusters. Calyx 5-partite; segments acute. Corolla canmpanulate 
or almost rotate; lobes 5, spreading, imbricate, usually contorted 
in the bud. Stamens 5, affixed to the tube or throat of the corolla ; 
filaments short; anthers included or exserted. Ovary 2-celled;
