form of the wiry matipo (Suttona divaricata), an unexpected plant ; 
and where there is a very fine koromiko with glossy leaves (Veronica 
Bollonsi), which, according to Mr. Petrie, is also found on the Hen 
and Chickens Islands. Nor can the cliff-vegetation of the Nuggets 
be described, where an alpine celmisia (Celmisia Lindsay) clothes 
the barren rock; nor many other charming spots, lapped by the 
many-voiced ocean. Sufficient, however, has been said to show 
that we need not climb into the clouds to find our wild flowers, 
and that those who are wont to take their pleasure sadly by the 
seashore may find there a field of new interest.
