NOTES ON SOME COMPOSITJE OF OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND. 261 
C. Richei, of florists, described by them as an Australian and Tas- 
manian species, as I have seen it in cultivation about Edinburgh, does 
not appear to me to differ essentially from the Otago plant. It is, 
however, greatly larger and stouter. I saw it 2 feet high and in flower 
in the Dean Cemetery (July). It grows vigorously “in the open” 
in this country, and is one of those somewhat numerous New Zealand 
cre that experience already proves to be hardy* under cultivation in 
pana VIL VrrTADINIA [ Zurybiopsis, Fl. N. Z.].

y Otago plant is under 6 in. high. Young branch-shoots very his- 
pid ; sometimes the woody, older branches are also more or less clothed 
with the same long, ages: whitish hairs. Leaves also hispid, with 
long, coarse, straggling hairs; sometimes nearly i in. long and } in. 
broad ; 3-lobed at apex Todd lobe being the larger] ; rounded ; obovate- 
spathulate. Upper and young leaves frequently or generally simple 
or entire,-—notching of the margin occurring subsequently in the older 
and lower leaves. Pappus $ in. long; reddish as in various species of 
Celmisia. 
Tarndale specimens in my herbarium are more procumbent, more 
slender, with smaller leaves ; less hispid in all parts of the plant (mostly 
sera the hairs (where present) few and chiefly fringing the leaf- 
. Branches more distinctly prolonged into a filiform peduncle. 
lower head about $ in. in diameter in both series of forms [Otago 
and Nelson].
