Has. Waihaki, Northern Island of New Zealand. Dr. Sin- 
clair, R. N. 1842. : 
Remote as is the situation of New Zealand from | 
America, there are some remarkable features which indicate 
affinity in its vegetation with that of the latter country. °*" 
is shown by the existence of Drimys and Fuchsia, genera NN 
wise peculiar to the great South American continent. 
now, thanks to our friend Dr. Sinclair, a species of Ca ree 
has been detected, of which I here give the figure. It is a ti 
growing plant, found in bushy places in considerable Me 
about Waihaki. The corolla has both its lips concave, ¢ 
far expanded as to approach that of Jovellana. It may ™ 
be considered a connecting link between the two genera.
