APPENDIX. 1145. 
G. montana.— Brunner Range, alt. 8000-4000 ft., W. 
Townson! Mr. Gibbs also sends specimens of a closely allied 
plant, with slightly longer and narrower cauline leaves, from 
Mount Lockett and Mount Peel. 
9 bis. G. vernicosa, Cheesem. n. sp. — Perennial; root 
long, slender, bearing at the top a compact tuft of radical 
leaves, and 1-5 stout flowering-stems 4-9 in. high, which are 
decumbent at the base but erect above. Radical leaves 
numerous, crowded, 4-I+in. long, 4-1in. broad, narrow 
oblong-spathulate or linear-oblong, obtuse or subacute, nar- 
rowed to a broad sessile base, dark-green, polished and shining, 
somewhat concave above, thick and coriaceous, especially to- 
wards the tip, but becoming thinner at the base. Cauline 
leaves many towards the base of the flowering-stems, in distant 
pairs above, similar to the radical but smaller and more acute. 
Flowers large, white, 3-3in. diam., in 2-7-flowered terminal 
umbels or corymbose cymes. Calyx half the length of the 
corolla; lobes lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, acute. Corolla 
divided three-quarters of the way down or more; lobes obovate- 
oblong, rounded at the tip. Ovary lnear-oblong. 
SoutH Istranp: Nelson — Mount Lceckett (to the north of Mount 
Arthur), alt. 3500-4500 ft., #’. G. Gibbs ! February—March. 
I have only three good specimens of this plant, but they all agree in 
the thick and coriaceous polished and shining leaves, which present quite 
a different appearance from those of any other species known tome. But 
it is possible that it may vary into G. bellidifolia. 
LI. BORAGINACEZ:. 
18 bis. Myosotis Townsoni, Cheesem. n. sp.—Perennial ; 
more or less densely hispid with soft spreading white hairs ; 
rootstock rather long, prostrate, branched; stems few or 
many, slender, leafy, prostrate or decumbent below, ascending 
or erect at the tips. Radical leaves on long slender petioles 
1-2in. long; biade 4-lin. by ++in., oblong-spathulate or 
linear-oblong, obtuse or apiculate, membranous, upper surface 
densely hispid with soft white hairs, often almost glabrous 
beneath. Cauline leaves numerous, narrow-oblong, sessile or 
the lowermost petiolate. Flowers in the axils of the upper 
cauline leaves or forming few-flowered racemes terminating the 
stem, +-14in. long, }-+in. diam., sessile or the lowermost 
shortly pedicelled. Calyx hispid with coarse white hairs, 
5-lobed below the middle; lobes linear-lanceolate, acute. 
Corolla-tube cylindric, much longer than the calyx; throat: 
with 5 scales; limb broad flat, with broadly oblong lobes.
