APPENDIX. 1135 
VII. PORTULACEA. 
Claytonia australasica.— Mr. Colenso’s C. calycina 
(Trans. N.Z. Inst. xxviii. 592) appears to be a synonym of this. 
X. MALVACE. 
Plagianthus cymosus. — Pelorus Valley, Marlborough, 
rare, J. H. Macmahon! Female specimens have also been 
found at Kaitaia by Mr. R. AH. Matthews. 
Gaya Lyallii, var. ribifolia, F. Muell. Veg. Chath. Is, 11.— 
Leaves deeply lobed or incised, usually smaller and not so 
acuminate; stellate pubescence more conspicuous, especially 
on the under-surface. 
A very distinct-looking variety, accidentally omitted in the body of this 
book. It is abundant in many parts of Marlborough and Canterbury, 
usually on the lower ranges flanking the eastern side of the Southern Alps; 
whereas the typical state is more common in the humid climate of West- 
land and Nelson. Dr. Cockayne considers that both forms are truly 
deciduous. 
XI. TILIACEA. 
Aristotelia racemosa.— Mr. Townson sends a variety 
from the Mokihinui River, to the north of Westport, in which 
the berries are clear bright-red when mature (not blackish-red), 
and rather larger than in the type. 
XVI. OLACINE. 
Pennantia corymbosa.—Add as a synonym P. odorata, 
Raoul in Ann. Sc. Nat. Ser. i. 2 (1844) 123. 
xx, ANACARDIACESA. 
Corynocarpus.— Mr. W. B. Hemsley, in an elaborate 
memoir published in the ‘‘ Annals of Botany”’ for 1903, pp. 
743-60, fully discusses the relationships of the genus, and 
describes two new species, one collected by Archdeacon Comins 
in Torres Island, New Hebrides, the other by Viellard in New 
Caledonia. He gives an amended generic character, in which 
attention is drawn to the curious fact that the gynzceum occa- 
sionally has a second rudimentary style. Full descriptions are 
also given of the three species. The two new ones from Poly- 
nesia are closely allied to C. leévigata, chiefly ditfering in the 
smaller foliage and in the shape of the petaloid staminodia. 
With respect to the systematic position of the genus, Mr. 
Hemsley confirms Professor Engler’s statement respecting the
