20 FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND. [ Droseracee. 
2. Drosera Arctwri, Hook.; scapo unifloro, rhizomate elongato, foliis anguste lineari-spathulatis in 
petiolum latum glabrum angustatis, scapo foliis eequilongo, flore magno, sepalis petalisque equilongis lineari- 
oblongis obtusis, capsula 3-4-valvi, stigmatibus 3-4 brevibus apice capitatis. Hook. Journ. Bot. v. 1. 
p. 94T. Je. Pl. t. 56. Planchon, l. c. p. 189. 
Has. Northern and Middle Islands; Ruahine Mountains, in snow-water pools, Colenso. Port Preser- 
vation, Lyall. 
Very variable in size, and apparently identical with a plant only known to inhabit the loftiest mountains of 
Tasmania. The rhizoma of Dr. Lyall’s New Zealand specimens is 4—8 inches long, of Mr. Colenso’s much shorter. 
Leaves narrow, linear, blunt, scarcely spathulate, sparingly glandular, with broad smooth petioles. Scapes stout, 
one-flowered, about as long as the leaves. Flowers large, the petals and sepals usually about the same length, the 
former rather broadest and sometimes the longest. Styles three to four, short, with round glandular stigmata, 
3. Drosera spathulata, Lab.; acaulis, scapigera, multiflora, foliis stellatim rosulatis spathulatis superne 
marginibusque glanduloso-pilosis, scapis 1-3 erectis simplicibus v. rarius bifidis 8-15-floris, floribus 
secundis breve pedicellatis, sepalis lineari-oblongis obtusis basi unitis, petalis spathulatis calyce duplo 
longioribus, stylis 3 2-partitis. Labillard. Ft. Nov. Holl. t. 106. f. 1. DC. Prodr. v. 1. p. 318. Plan- 
chon, l. e. D. propinqua, A. Cunn. Prodr. 
Var. 8. pusilla; scapis 1—9-floris, sepalis latioribus. 
Has. Northern and Middle Islands; common from the Bay of Islands as far south as Port Preserva- 
tion, Cunningham, Lyall, etc. Fl. January. 8. Lake Taupo and foot of Tongariro, Colenso. 
A well-known New Holland and Tasmanian plant; also found (according to Planchon) in the Philippine 
Islands. It may be recognized by its numerous broadly spathulate leaves, 4-2 inch long, spreading out like rays, 
and by the long, slender, erect scapes, bearing a secund raceme of small flowers. 
4. Drosera binata, Lab.; acaulis, scapo multifloro, foliis longe petiolatis bipartitis, laciniis anguste 
lineari-ligulatis integris bifidisve glanduloso-hirsutis, scapis folio longioribus, floribus magnis subeymosis, 
sepalis ovatis glaberrimis v. ciliatis oblongis obtusis, petalis obeordatis calyce 2—4-plo majoribus, stylis 
3 penicillatis. Lab. Fl. Nov. Holl. t. 105. DC. Prodr. v. 1. p. 318. D. dichotoma, Banks et Sol. MSS. 
D. pedata, Persoon. D. intermedia, 4. Cunn. Prodr. D. Cunninghamii, Walpers, Repert. 
Has. Eastern coasts of the Northern and Middle Islands, Banks and Solander, etc. Abundant in 
moist clay lands, etc., as far south as Ruapuke Island, Zyall. 
One of the most beautiful and curious-looking New Zealand plants, which there can be no difficulty in iden- 
tifying, from its long leaves (4-8 inches), divided to the base into simple or bifid strap-shaped lobes, covered with 
long glandular hairs. Scapes often twice as long as the leaves, bearing cymes of flowers 4-3 inch broad. Petals 
white and very delicate, but variable in size, as is the calyx, which is quite smooth and entire, or fringed at the edge. 
It is probably not a native of the mountainous western coasts of New Zealand; but is found abundantly else- 
where in Tasmania, also in New Holland from Sydney southward. 
5. Drosera pyymaa, DC.; pusilla, acaulis, scapo unifloro, foliis congestis rosulatis breve petiolatis 
orbiculatis concavis subpeltatis marginibus dense glanduloso-ciliatis, scapis gracilibus basi stipulis foliorum 
scariosis suffultis, sepalis 4 oblongis obtusis glaberrimis, petalis calyce longioribus albis, stylis 4 filiformibus 
subclavatis ovario globoso longioribus, seminibus paucis magnis. DC. Prodr. v. 1. p. 317. Planchon, 
l. c. p. 289. 
Has. Northern Island; marshes at Cape Maria Van Diemen, Colenso. 
The above description is made up from that of M. Planchon and from Mr. Gunn's Tasmanian specimens, the 
New Zealand ones not being in flower. The smallest species of the genus, conspicuous for the silvery white scarious
