or even more; stems erect or decumbent, firm, sometimes almost 
woody at the base, usually much branched and often excessively 
so, rarely simple; branches slender, virgate, leafy, bie nls or 
rarely almost glabrous. Leaves variable in size and shape, 4-3 in. 
long, broad or narrow obovate-cuneate, rounded at the tip, narrowed 
at the base into a distinct petiole of variable length, coriaceous, 
glabrous, with 1-3 more or less distinct notches on each side, 
rarely entire; margins flat, not recurved. Flowers usually very 
numerous, in large specimens from the repeated branching of the 
flowering stems and the reduction of the upper leaves to bracts 
forming a quasi-paniculate inflorescence, in smaller forms spicate ; 
peduncles shorter than the calyx. Calyx small, narrow, 4-lobed ; 
lobes obtuse, shorter than the tube. Corolla large, $-2in. long, 
white with a yellow eye, sometimes with purplish streaks, pilose 
externally ; upper lip 2-lobed, lobes emarginate ; lower lip 3-lobed. 
Capsule linear-cuneate, emarginate, hairy or at length glabrous, 
exceeding the calyx. Seeds numerous, elongate.—A. ich. FI.

Nort Istanp: From the Hast Cape and Taupo southwards to Cook Strait, 
not uncommon. SovurH Istanp: Has been recorded from several stations from 
Nelson to Otago, but I have seen no specimens which I can refer to it. Sea-

A distinct species, well marked by the large size, much-branched perennial 
habit, cuneate leaves narrowed into a distinct petiole, large pedicelled flowers, 
and long narrow capsule. There seems to be two main varieties—one tall and 
slender, with numerous leafy branches, narrow long-petioled leaves, and copious 
inflorescence ; the other, which is principally montane or subalpine, and which
