tT. Kirx.—On new Plants collected on Stewart Island. 873 
Hab. Stewart Island; 9. Dog Island. 
Strong smelling and excessively glandular in all its parts. It is most 
nearly allied to B. odorata, Hook. f., but Professor Oliver, who at my request 
kindly compared it with Colenso’s original specimens of that species, informs 
me that it closely approaches some forms of B. diversifolia, Fisch. and Mey. 
B. thomsonii was discovered by Mr. G. M. Thomson, who favoured me 
with one or two small specimens in 1877. Having had the opportunity of 
examining the recent plant in its original habitat, I have pleasure in con- 
firming his opinion as to its specifie validity and connecting his name 
with it. 
(2?) Raoulia goyeni, n. 8. 
Stems forming hard compact masses 1'-2' high, much branched and 
with the leaves fully 1" diameter, woody below. Leaves densely imbricated, 
sessile by a broad base, oblong, with erose, purple margins, slightly emar- 
ginate, with close set whitish hairs on the apical half of the upper surface. 
Flowers not seen. 
Hab. Summit of Rakiahua, P. Goyen! Peaks of Mount Anglem, 3,200 
feet, T.K. 
Originally discovered by Mr. Goyen, to whom I am indebted for speci- 
mens. The branches are very short, sometimes no longer than broad, and 
the plant presents a green appearance not common in this genus. It bears 
considerable resemblance to the recently discovered H aastia greenti, Hook. f., 
and its generic position must be considered uncertain until the flowers have 
been discovered. 
My apology for publishing this imperfect description must be based upon 
the fact that the leaves of our plant are remarkably different from those of 
any recorded Raoulia or Haastia, while it grows only in habitats extremely 
difficult of access. 
Myosotis antarctica, Hook. f. 
Subspecies, traillii. 
Radical leaves forming a rosette in the centre of the plant, flowering 
branches 8’-6" long, procumbent, given off from beneath the rosette. 
Stems and leaves reddish coloured, rather succulent. 
Radical leaves 3-14" long, oblong-spathulate, or sales nar- 
rowed into slender petioles, clothed with appressed hairs especially on the 
upper surface. Cauline leaves }" long, ovate, narrowed at the base, usually 
sessile. Fl. minute, solitary in the axils of the cauline leaves; calyx seg- 
ments acute, hairy, closed in fruit; limb of corolla flat, minute; stamens 
shorter than the corolla tube. Nut ovate, shining, dark brown with com- 
pressed edges, keeled near the apex. ` 
- Hab. Sandy places on the west coast of Stewart Tanki.
