Lagenaria vulgaris, L. This is the «hue " of the Maoris, doubtless intro- 
dueed by them, and still cultivated in many of their settle-

position as the preceding species. (Tropics.)

marama, Auckland Harbour ; doubtless originally an outcast

as a weed in a few large market-gardens. (Europe.)

locality I did not observe it. (Europe.) :
