504 SCROPHULARINEZ. [Huphrasia. 
corresponds to Colenso’s H. tricolor, is not so much branched, the leaves are 
shorter and broader, on shorter petioles, and the flowers are spicate along the 
upper part of the branches. It might be distinguished as var. tricolor. 
2. E. Monroi, Hook. f. Handb. N.Z. Fl. 220.—Perennial, some- 
times woody at the very base; stems erect or decumbent below, 3-8 in. 
high, leafy above, sparingly branched, faintly bifariously pubescent. 
Leaves rather close-set, spreading, 14+ in. long, obovate or obovate- 
spathulate, obtuse, narrowed to the base but not evidently petiolate, 
coriaceous, glabrous, furnished with one or two short obtuse teeth on 
each side, margins thick, recurved. Flowers in short few-flowered 
leafy spikes towards the ends of the branches, sessile or very shortly 
peduncled ; bracts similar to the leaves. Calyx 4-lobed ; lobes short, 
thick, obtuse or subacute, margins recurved. Corolla $—2in. long; 
tube funnel-shaped, exceeding the calyx; upper lip bilobed, lower 
lip trilobed; lobes retuse. Capsule obovate, retuse, equalling the 
calyx or slightly longer than it.—Wettst. Monog. Huphr. 248, t. v. 
f. 375-382, and t. xiv. f. 2. 
SourH Isntanp: Not uncommon on the mountains of Nelson and Marl- 
borough. Canterbury—Hurunui Mountains, Travers; Southern Alps, Sinclair 
and Haast (Handbook). 3000-5000 ft. December—March. 
Very closely allied to H. cuneata, but a smaller much more sparingly 
branched plant, with close-set uniform leaves not obviously petiolate and with the 
margins recurved. It is also without the copious branched inflorescence of the 
typical state of H. cuneata, the flowers being few towards the tips of the 
branches. It should be mentioned that in both H. cuneata and EH. Monroi it is 
only a part of the plant which is perennial, the flower-bearing branchlets perish- 
ing during winter, their places being taken by new shoots produced during the 
following season. 
3. HB. revoluta, Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel.i. 199.—Annual, or some- 
times the rootstock perennial. Stems 1-4 in. high, very slender, 
much or sparingly branched from the base, often creeping and put- 
ting up few or many ascending branchlets, more or less glandular- 
pubescent. Leaves in rather distant pairs, sessile, very variable in 
size, the lowest usually the smallest, 44 in. long, obovate-cuneate, 
obtuse or subacute, narrowed to the base, furnished with 1-3 teeth 
on each side, glandular-pubescent or glabrous, margins zevolute. 
Flowers few towards the tips of the branches, large, $—-3in. diam. ; 
peduncles shorter or longer than the leaves. Calyx shortly 4-lobed ; 
lobes triangular, acute, much shorter than the tube. Corolla-tube 
funnel-shaped, exceeding the calyx; limb spreading; upper lip 
2-lobed; lower lip 3-lobed, lobes deeply emarginate. Capsule 
oblong, obtuse ; seeds numerous in each cell.—Handb. N.Z. Fi. 
220; Wettst. Monog. Huphr. 266, t. xiv. f. 8. 
Nortu Istanp: Mount Hikurangi, S. Dodgshun; Ruahine Mountains, 
Colenso! H. Hill! Petrie! Ruapehu, H. Mili! Sourn Isuanp: Not un- 
common in mountain districts throughout. 2500-5500 ft. December— 
March.
