202 FLORA OF NEW ZEALAND. [ Boraginee. 
pedicellate, in the axils of the leaves, or growing from the stems. Calyx deeply five-parted. Corolla funnel-shaped, 
with a broad tube, five long lobes, and no scales at the mouth, but an obscure thickening at the base of each lobe. 
Filaments slender, inserted half-way down the tube. Anthers linear, half-exserted.—This plant is intermediate, 
in form of corolla and length of stamens, between this section and the following; in foliage it equally resembles 
M. Forsteri and M. petiolata. 
$ c. Stems erect or decumbent. Flowers in terminal racemes, without bracts, or the lower ones bracteate. Corolla 
funnel-shaped. Filaments evserted. (Exarrhena, Br.) 
6. Myosotis (Exarrhena) petiolata, Hook. fil. ; subhispido-pilosa, caulibus plurimis basi decumbentibus 
elongatis laxe foliosis, foliis radicalibus longe petiolatis elliptico-oblongis obtusis apiculatis, caulinis minori- 
bus brevius petiolatis, racemis multi-laxifloris, floribus longe pedicellatis, calycis profunde 5-fidi lobis an- 
guste linearibus, corolla ampla, filamentis longe exsertis. 
Haz. Northern Island. In dry stony places, Colenso, Sinclair. 
Loosely covered with rather hispid white hairs. Stems many from the root, slender, decumbent, ascending, 
sparingly leafy, 6-15 inches long. Radical leaves 4-2 inches long, oblong-elliptical, blunt, apiculate, on petioles 
sometimes 3 inches long; cauline few, on shorter petioles. Racemes loosely many-flowered. Flowers large, pedi- 
cellate. Calyx deeply five-lobed. Corolla sometimes 4 inch across the mouth ; tube broad. Filaments long, slender, 
exserted.—The foliage of this plant much resembles that of M. Forsteri and of large specimens of M. spathulata. 
7. Myosotis (Exarrhena) sawosa, Hook. fil.; perennis, tota pilis albidis dense subhispido-villosa, cauli- 
bus e radice brevibus decumbentibus foliosis, foliis lineari-spathulatis subacutis apiculatisve, racemis sub- 
longe pedunculatis paucifloris, floribus breve pedicellatis, calycis elongati 5-partiti lobis anguste linearibus, 
corolle infundibuliformis fauce squamulis parvis instructa, antheris mediocriter exsertis. 
Has. Northern Island. Crags at Titiokura, east coast, Colenso. 
Whole plant small, stout, leafy, copiously covered with rather long, soft, white hairs, that give the appearance 
of hispidity. Stems 2-3 inches high, sparingly leafy below ; upper part naked, racemose. Leaves 4-2 inch long, 
crowded, linear-spathulate, on broad petioles. Flowers crowded, nearly sessile. Calyx nearly + inch long, segments 
linear. Corolla with small scales at the base of the lobes. Anthers and filaments exserted.—1 have seen but three 
specimens of this plant from Mr. Colenso. 
8. Myosotis (Exarrhena) Zyalli, Hook. fil.; perennis, hispidulo-pilosa, caulibus paucis brevibus de- 
cumbentibus, foliis radicalibus confertis lineari-obovato-spathulatis obtusis apiculatis, racemis simplicibus v. 
bifidis paucifloris basi foliatis, floribus pedicellatis, calyce amplo campanulato ad medium 5-fido lobis acutis, 
corollae infundibuliformis tubo brevi fauce squamulis parvis donato, filamentis gracilibus, antheris exsertis, 
nucibus ovatis compressis subacutis atris nitidis. 
Has. Middle Island. Milford Sound, Zyall. 
Root perennial. Leaves radical, 13-2 inches long, narrow, obovate, spathulate, blunt, apiculate, with very 
broad petioles, covered, as are all other parts, with rather soft white hairs. Stems two to three, decumbent, 2—5 
inches long. Racemes few, six- to ten-flowered, leafy at the base of the lower flowers. Flowers shortly pedicellate. 
Calyx very large, + inch long, quinquefid to below the middle. Corolla small in proportion, funnel-shaped, with small 
scales at the mouth; slender filaments and exserted linear anthers. —A good deal like M. capitata in foliage, but 
very different in the large calyx and form of corolla, etc. Ihave only three specimens from Dr. Lyall, therefore 
some allowance must be granted for variation from this description.
