CRASSULACE^; 

 Tillcea trichotoma, Walp. 



First recorded in 1882 by Cheeseman as "growing on the sides 

 of the road near Penrose (Auckland), and spreading rapidly on the 

 lava-fields around Mount Stuart." Also reported from Wanganui by 

 E. W. Andrews. In 1915 Carse reports it as found near Kaitaia 

 by H. B. Matthews. (Fl., Sept. to Oct.) 



Sedum acre, Linn. Biting Stonecrop ; Wall-pepper 

 Recorded by W. W. Smith in 1903 as occurring in the Ashburton 

 County; apparently introduced in unclean seed, and spreading on 

 farms. A. H. Cockayne states that there are miles of it in some of 

 the Canterbury river beds., Dr Cockayne says it is increasing in dry 

 parts of the South Island.

Eucalyptus amygdalina, Labill. " Stringy-bark' of New South Wales ;

Maxwell reports this as spreading in Taranaki. 



It is one of the species which suffered from Eriococcus in South 

 Canterbury in 1900.

Simmonds reports this as spreading in the North Island. Also 

 suffered from scale in 1900.

Badly attacked by Eriococcus in 1900. I do not know whether or 

 not this species has spread naturally.

 had been covered with manuka and burned. Numerous self-sown
