W. Colenso, Esq. 
My specimens of this pretty little Wood-sorrel do not indeed 
exhibit the branching nature of the decumbent stem, but that 
itis the O. Cataracte of Mr. A. Cunningham I cannot doubt, 
since it was sent me under that name, by Mr. Colenso, who 
gathered it in company with that lamented botanist. It is remark- 
able for the very large membranaceous stipules which form con- 
spicuous sheaths around the slender stem.
