Specimen of the Botany of New Zealand. 129 



New Zealand (Northern Island) .—1 769, Sir Joseph Banks. Sandy ridges 

 on the shores of the Hokianga river. — 1826, A. Cunningham. (Middle 

 Island.)— 1773, G. Forster. 



Obs. Upon further examination of the specimens gathered on the 

 shores of the Hokianga river in 1826, and at that period considered 

 an unpublished species of Cassinia, I am now disposed to view it as 

 Forster's plant.
