APPENDIX. 1139 
A. Dieffenbachii.—Include among the synonyms Angelica 
Dieffenbachii, Benth. and Hook. f. Gen. Plant. i. 916. 
Ligusticum antipodum.—<Add to the synonyms Gin- 
gidium antipodum, F. Muell. Veg. Chath. Is. 18. 
L. deltoideum.—Lyell Mountains, alt. 3000-4000 ft., W. 
Townson ! 
11 bis. L. diversifolium, Cheesem. n. sp.—Habit and size 
of L. carnosulum, and like it thick and fleshy and glaucous- 
green when fresh. Stems 1-4in. long, tufted at the top of a 
stout tortuous rootstock, with several radical leaves at the 
base, and 1-3 cauline ones just below the inflorescence. 
Leaves as in ZL. carnosulwm, 2-3-ternately multifid with linear- 
subulate ultimate segments 1-4in. long. Umbels usually soli- 
tary, compound, terminating the stem, 1-3in. diam.; but 
sometimes smaller simple or compound umbels are developed 
in the axils of the cauline leaves. Involucral bracts 4-6, linear, 
flat, acute, quite entire or rarely forked, much shorter than the 
umbel; rays 6-12, stout, rigid. Secondary umbels small, 
many-flowered; bracts of the involucels 8-12, linear, quite 
entire. Flowers crowded, white or pink, much as in Z. carno- 
sulwm but rather larger and with more prominent calyx-teeth. 
Fruit not seen. 
Sout Isnranp: Nelson—Shingle slopes on Mount Robert (overlooking 
Lake Rotoiti), alt. 4000 ft., #. G. Gibbs ! 
I have been much puzzled with this plant, which has the habit and 
foliage of L. carnosulum, but differs markedly in the much smaller linear 
and entire involucral bracts, and in smaller simple or compound umbels 
often being developed in the axils of the cauline leaves. In L. carnosulum 
the bracts are similar to the leaves—that is, are ternately multifid, and the 
primary ones far overtop the umbel. There is never more than a single 
terminal compound umbel, and the stems are usually very short. 
Angelica trifoliolata.—Sphagnum bogs near the summit 
of Porter’s Pass, Canterbury, Dr. Cockayne. 
XXXIV. ARALIACE:. 
Aralia [yallii.—This species, which was originally de- 
scribed as a Stilbocarpa by Armstrong, has been, with much 
reason, replaced in that genus by Harms (Engl. and Prantl, 
Pflanzenf. 3, vill. 57), but in a separate section, for which he 
proposes the name Kirkophytum. 
A. Lyallii var. robusta.—Mr. Justice Chapman, who has 
collected this on the Snares, informs me that it can be readily 
distinguished from the type by not possessing stolons, and by 
its larger size, leaves having been measured 28 in. in diameter.
