PLANTS COLLECTED IN OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND. 227 
and Ferns collected by me in 1861 (October to December) on the 
eastern seaboard of Otago, in the settled districts between Dunedin, its 
capital, and the Clutha River. It may be desirable to explain that the 
collection was made in the spring of the Otago calendar,—at a time, 
therefore, when a considerable portion at least of its characteristic 
herbaceous plants was neither in fruit nor flower. Hence a proportion 
of the plants collected was unsuitable for identification ; and hence also 
the collection was neither so large nor so interesting as it otherwise might 
and would have been. The species were determined by Dr. Hooker 
while preparing his Handbook of the N. Z. Flora (1864, part 1), in 
which work all the plants now enumerated are described, the new 
species for the first time.
