Hab. Middle Island : Gordon's Nob, Nelson, Monro. 



A very remarkable little species, much the smallest of the genus hitherto discovered, and well characterized by 

 the stems being covered densely with narrow, almost subulate, erect or spreading, sharp-pointed leaves, about § 

 inch long, and | line broad ; they are glabrous above, densely covered with white tomentum beneath. Scape slen- 

 der, 3-4 inches long, loosely covered with floccose wool. Bracts few, scattered, very narrow. Capitulum A inch 

 long; involucre conical; florets purple? — I have only seen two specimens.

Hab. Middle Island : Kaikora mountains, M' Donald {Monro) . 



This, which is one of the most remarkable plants in New Zealand, was, together with the following, collected 

 by Roderick M'Donald, a shepherd, for Dr. Monro, upon the Kaikora Mountains, south of Nelson. It appears from 

 its habit to form dense, probably hemispherical, masses on the ground, and bears inconspicuous, terminal, solitary, 

 sessile capitula, which are hidden amongst the leaves. There can, I think, be little doubt of its belonging to Ozo- 

 thamnus, being closely allied to the following plant and to 0. microphyllus. — Brandies cylindrical, as thick as the 

 little finger, densely tubercled with the closely imbricating, shining, knob-like apices of the leaves. Leaves oblong, 

 blunt, | inch long ; lower part membranous, upper very coriaceous and shining ; upper surface densely clothed with 

 long, soft, white wool. 



5. Ozothamnus Selago, Hook. fil. ; depressus, caule crasso confertim ramoso, ramis ramulisque csespi- 

 tosis inter folia lanatis foliis brevibus appressis arctissime multifariam imbricatis tectis, foliis late ovatis ob- 

 tusis concavis basi membranaceis apice coriaceis pagina superiore dense molliter lanatis dorso subcarinatis 

 infra apicem sajpissime plaga ovata notatis, capitulis solitariis terminalibus inter folia nidulantibus, involucri 

 squamis paucis, interioribus capitulo longioribus anguste linearibus incurvis acutis scariosis parce pilosis, 

 floribus fcemineis ambitu paucissimis. 



Hab. With 0. coralloides, Monro. 



This species closely resembles the 0. microphallus, but differs in the shorter, stouter branches, carinate, larger 

 leaves, much smaller capitula, sunk amongst the upper leaves, and the fewer, narrower, longer, inucrved involucral 

 scales. 



(Page 135.) Eaoulia glabra, Hook. fil.
