Lake, and summit of the \Testern Mountains, Omm, 
.Distrib. New Zealand. 
A common and very variable little species, usually smaller than <■. i> tnn/i/,,,1, Ii.hu which it is readih distin- 
guished by the opposite flowers. — Stems very -lender, romdi. prostrate or ascending, straggling or densely tufted, 
sometimes excessively numerous from the root, 2-10 inches long. Leaves small, all opposite, »,-;, ineh tofif, rigid 
and scabrid, ovate, rarel\ lanceolate or orbicular, generally acute, toothed and glabrous, rarch blunt, quite entire. 
Flowers rather large for the small size of the plant, sessile. Fruit turgid, four- to eight-ribbed, 
variety ft montana, is much larger and more robust : I had hence supposed it to be a ditl'erent species, but I find 
no characters whatever beyond the great. t size, luxuriant habit, and sometimes obscureh, ooidal 
flowers and fruit are identical with those of //. depressa.
