Donatia Novcb Zelandice, J. Hook, flor., Nov. Zeland, i. 81, 

 t. 20. Lake St. Clair, Hon. J. R. Scott ; Eldon's Bluff, Th. 

 Gulliver ; Mount Field East, B. Gulliver. The plant is placed 

 here as Stylideous among the synpetalous orders, its true 

 systematic position havingfinally been ascertained by the writer 

 of these remarks only this year (Cont. fragm. phytogr. Austr. 

 viii., 41). Although the genus was discovered already by both 

 Forsters in Fuegia during Cook's second expedition about a 

 century ago, the mature fruit is unknown up to the present 

 day, it having not yet been found either in the Australian, New 

 Zealand, or S. American Alps, it ripening probably in the 

 beginning of winter, and could likely yet be found early in 

 spring after thawing of the snow. 



Azorella dichopetala, Benth. flor. Austr. iii., 365. Eldon's 

 Range, Hon. J. R. Scott and Th. Gulliver. 



Coprosma repens, J. Hook, flor. Antarct. i., 23, t. 16 a. (not 

 b) ; flor. Nov. Zeland, i., 110 ; Handbook of N. Z. flora i., 

 119. Alpine country about Lake St. Clair, Th. and B. 

 Gulliver. Sent only in a sterile state. The leaves thick and 

 margined. Closely allied to the following species. 



Coprosma pumila, J. Hook, flor. N. Zel., i.. Ill ; handbook of 

 the N. Zeal, flora, i., 119 ; C. repens, J. Hook, flora antarct, i., 

 23, t, 16, b. Lake Petrarch ; Th. Gulliver. The leaves are thin, 

 remarkably acute, distinctly pointed and narrowly petiolate. 

 Specimens from Mount Laperouse, imperfect like the rest, 

 seem rather to accord with C. repens than with C. pumila. 

 Local observations must clear up the questions concerning the 

 characteristics of these species. 



Goodenia humilisj Br. prodr., 575 ; var. alpigena. The 

 whole plant merely one or two inches high, with only 1 to 3 

 flowers. Alpine meadows about Lake St, Clair, Th. and B. 

 Gulliver. 



Isotoma fluviatilis, F. v. M. in Benth. flor. Austr. iv., 136. 

 Accidentally omitted in the 4th volume of the Australian Flora 

 as a Tasmanian plant, although an expressive figure is given 

 already in Dr. Hooker's work. Lobelia pratioides, occurring 

 on the S. Esk and probably elsewhere, has latterly proved a 

 deadly herb to cattle in Victoria. 



Styphelia scoparia, Sm. New Holl. 43. Lake Petrarch ; Th. 

 Gulliver. A broad-leaved form with pentamerous flowers 

 from the above-mentioned Alpine locality. The genus 

 Monotoca must now also be re-united with Styphelia, as 

 latterly a species with very minute flowers, and a two-celled 

 ovary was discovered by the writer in West Australia ; more- 

 over, Mr. Bentham having proved the existence of a species 

 of the section Leucopogon with a one-celled ovary also in 

 West Australia.
