1094 APPENDIX. 
III. ALPHABETICAL LIST OF MAORI NAMES OF PLANTS. 
Tue following list of Maori plant-names has been compiled from 
various sources, such as the list given in the appendix to the “ Hand- 
book,” Williams’s ‘‘ New Zealand Dictionary,” Mr. Colenso’s botanical 
and ethnographical papers printed in various volumes of the “ Trans- 
actions of the New Zealand Institute,” &c. I particularly desire to 
acknowledge my indebtedness to the Right Rev. W. L. Williams, 
Bishop of Waiapu, for a very full and complete catalogue of all 
Maori plant-names known to him, including a great number not 
previously published. Bishop Wilhams’s intimate acquaintance with 
both the Maori language and the botany of New Zealand has made 
his assistance most valuable, and I feel that any merit which this 
enumeration possesses is chiefly due to his friendly co-operation. Mr. 
Percy Smith has also furnished me with many new names and 
much valuable criticism; while Mr. Elsdon Best has supplied a 
copious list of plant-names in use in the Urewera Country. I have 
also received assistance from the Rev. F. R. Spencer, R. H. Mat- 
thews, F. A. D. Cox, A. Shand, and others, to all of whom my 
grateful thanks are due.
