Has. Running water, on sand: mountains, Wairau, near Nelson, 
southern island, New Zealand, Mr. Bidwill (n. 20). 
A much-creeping and very radicant plant, varying from a few 
inches to a foot in length. Not one of Allan Cunningham’s 
brief descriptions of species tallies with this, whose nearest affi- 
nity is perhaps with Z. alpinum (itself, indeed, a very variable 
and widely dispersed plant) :—but this is larger in all its parts, 
the leaves much broader, more decidedly petiolate, the stems and 
branches more rooting, flowers more numerous, not drooping in 
bud, and the most remarkable feature is the great elongation of 
the peduncle after flowering, sometimes to four inches in length.
