Serophularinee.) FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND. 199 
lobed, toothed, or cut. Flowers solitary, axillary, spiked or subracemose, very variable in size in all the species. 
Calyx tubular or campanulate, quadrifid. Corolla with an arched two-lobed upper lip, and three-lobed spreading 
lower one. Stamens didynamous, under the arched upper lip. Stigma dilated.—Natives of the temperate and cold 
regions of both hemispheres, but the species are nowhere numerous; more so in Australia, Tasmania, and New 
Zealand than elsewhere; always very variable. (Name from evppacia, joy ; in allusion to its reputed virtues.)

Has. Northern and Middle Islands; from the Thames river to Otago; not unfrequent on the coast 
and in the mountains, Banks and Solander, etc. 
Erect, a span to 3 feet high. Stem simple or much branched ; branches fasciculate, glabrous or downy, leafy. 
Leaves small, petiolate, in pairs or fasciculate on short ramuli, 2-6 lines long, petiolate, very variable in breadth, 
spathulate or obovate, remotely coarsely toothed. Flowers pink or purplish or yellowish, very numerous, occu- 
pying the axil of every leaf on the upper parts of the branches, or few, extremely variable in size (3 lin. to 2 inch), 
pedicellate. Calyz campanulate, four-lobed. Corolla with a broad funnel-shaped tube and spreading lips; upper 
shortly two-lobed. Anthers hairy, the two posterior with rather unequal lobes, one lobe with a shorter spur 
than the other. Capsule linear-clavate, 4 inch long. —An extremely variable plant in stature and foliage, and size 
of Aower, depth of its lobing, ete.

Has. Northern and Middle Islands. Var. a. Top of Ruahine and other mountains, Colenso. Var. 
&. Milford Sound, Lyall. Var. y. Dusky Bay, Zyall. 
Mr. Colenso's specimens of this pretty little plant seem quite the same as Fuegian ones, and form a small wiry 
pubescent erect herb, an inch high, with obovate-cuneate crenate leaves, a line long, and a few minute white flowers. 
Calyx campanulate, twice as long as the leaves, obtusely four-toothed. (Corolla 9—4 lines long ; tube as long or longer 
than the calyx. Anthers equal and smooth, equally spurred. Capsule membranous, obovate, blunt, included in 
the calyx. Dr. Lyall's Milford Sound specimens (var. 8) are larger, 8 inches high, much branched, slender, with 
sessile obovate lobed leaves, and calyces 3 lines long, which become pedicellati in fruit, much larger, and nearly à 
inch across the mouth. Var. y has leaves nearly 3 inch long, and fruiting calyx nearly as long, much larger 
flowers, with a short tube to the corolla.—Only two or three specimens of the ZL. antarctica have been brought 
from Tierra del Fuego, and all are in one state, a very diminutive one, so that, considering how very variable all 
the other species of this genus are, it may be doubted how far I am correct in redueing the large New Zealand 
form to varieties of the smaller Antarctic one, for the large may be the normal state of the plant, and the small 
merely a variety.
