V. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 
I. RANUNCULACE. 
i Clematis parviflora.—tTo this species I refer with some 
doubt C. Hilla, Col. in Trans. N.Z. Inst. xxxi. (1899) 266, of 
which I have seen no authentically named specimens.

6 Myosurus aristatus.—Abundant in moist places near the 
mouth of the Awatere River, Marlborough, J. H. Macmahon! 
10 2s. Ranunculus Matthewsii, Cheesem. n. sp—Habit of 
R. Buchanani, but larger and stouter, 15-20 in. high, glabrous 
or with a few weak hairs on the petioles and peduncles. 
Radical leaves on stout petioles 3-9in. long, reniform or 
orbicular in outline, ternatisect; the main divisions petiolate, 
coarsely toothed or lobed. Cauline leaves sessile, deeply 
toothed or lobed, but not so finely asin R. Buchanam. Flowers 
1-4, large, pure- white, sweet-scented, 24-3in. diam. Sepals 5, 
slightly villous, reflexed when the flower is mature. Petals 
numerous, 12-20, oblong-cuneate, rounded at the tip, narrowed 
to the base; gland solitary, large, basilar. Achenes turgid, 
pilose, forming an oblong-globose head 4in. diam. or more; 
styles long, subulate. 
SoutH Istanp: Otago— Mount Harnslaw, alt. 4000-6000[t., H. J. 
Matthews ! 
I have only two good specimens of this beautiful plant, and some 
allowance must consequently be made for the description. It is evidently 
yery close to R. Buchanani, differing chiefly in the larger size and stouter 
habit, in being almost glabrous, and in the more sparingly divided leaves 
and larger flowers. 
12 R. nivicola.—Mount Holdsworth, Tararua Range, W. 
Townson ! Flowerless specimens apparently belonging to the 
same species have also been sent from Mount Stokes, Marl- 
borough, by Mr. J. H. Macmahon. 
14 R. tenuicaulis.—Boundary Peak, Lyell District, alt. 
3000-4000 ft., W. Townson ! Sources of the Poulter River 
and Kelly’s Hill, Westland, Dr. Cockayne. 
22 R. Hectori.—-Dr. Cockayne considers that this is doubt- 
fully distinct from &. aucklandicus. (See Trans. N.Z. Inst. 
Xxxvii. 518.)
