APPENDIX. 
10. A radians, Drude, l.c.—This is quoted as a new species 
allied to A. Hvookert, but no description or locality is given. 
Eryngium vesiculosum.—Abundant near the mouth of 
the Awatere River, Marlborough, J. H. Macmahon ! 
Actinotus nove-zealandiz.-— Add to the synonyms 
Hemiphues nove-zealandi@, Petrie in Trans. N.Z. Inst. xii. 
(1880) 355. 
Aciphylla Colensoi var. conspicua.— Mount Kelvin, near 
Westport, alt. 4500 1ft., W. Townson ! 
A. squarrosa.— Gingidium squarrosum, F. Muell. Veg. 
Chath. Is. 18, should be quoted as a synonym. 
A. Hookeri.—Brunner Mountains, W. Townson ! 
A. Lyallii.—Lyell Mountains, alt. 3500ft., W. Townson! 
From the same locality Mr. Townson also sends a remarkable 
variety (?) with larger and more rigid leaves, the lower pinne 
of which are trifid or again pinnate. The bracts are also 
longer and more squarrose, with pinnately divided lamine. 
5 bis. A. Townsoni, Cheesem. n. sp. — Erect, slender, 
smooth and grassy, often somewhat flaccid, 6-12in. high. 
Radical leaves numerous, very slender, 3-9 in. long, pinnate or 
bipinnate at the base; leaflets 2-4 pairs, very narrow, $-3 in. 
long, #55 in. broad, usually flaccid but tipped by a short 
broad membranous sheathing bases. Scape short, leafy; 
bracts very numerous, usually more rigid than the leaves, with 
broad membranous sheathing bases and a trifoliolate or pin- 
nately divided lamina. Male umbels numerous, compound, on 
long slender spreading peduncles; females much fewer and 
smaller, on shorter erect peduncles, almost concealed in the 
broad membranous bract-sheaths. Fruit linear-oblong, about 
4in. long; carpels 3—5-winged. 
Sour Isnranp: Nelson—Mount Faraday, Mount Buckland, and the 
Lyell Mountains, alt. 3000-4500 ft., W. Townson ! 
The nearest ally of this curious novelty appears to be 4. Lyallw var. 
crenulata, from which it differs in the slender and almost flaccid habit, 
and in the extremely narrow leaf-segments. 
A. Monroi.—Add as a synonym Guingidiwm Monro, F. 
Muell. Veg. Chath. Is. 18.
