Cuexseman.—On Naturalized Plants of Auckland District. 297 
Geranium molle, L. The same remarks apply. 
Eutaxia strangeana, Turez. Stated by its author to come from New Zea- 
ares land, probably through some mistake. It will doubtless prove 
` to be some well-known Australian plant. 
Guilandina bonduc, L. Exroneously stated by Forster to come from New 
Zealand. See ‘ Handbook," p. 53. 
Opuntia vulgaris, Mill. Recorded by Sir J. D. Hooker in the lists of natu- 
ralized plants appended to both the ** Flora" and the ** Hand- 
book;" but must be expunged, as it never spreads out of 
cultivation in New Zealand. 
Anthriscus cerefolium, Hoffm. ‘ Handbook," p. 759. Has not been noticed 
by any recent botanist. 
Arnoseris pusilla, Gertn. If this is the species meant by the name ‘‘ Lapsana 
pusilla, L.," quoted in the * Handbook, page, 760, the pre- 
ceding remarks apply also. 
Stylidium graminifolium, Swz. No specimens of this have been found in 
ew Zealand since the solitary one obtained by the late 
General Bolton in 1851. 
Epacris purpurascens, Br. — Fl.N.Z., vol 2, p. 821. It appears preferable to 
regard this as indigenous. 
Cynoglossum micranthum, Br. (?). “ Handbook," p. 197. No. species of 
1 this genus has been obtained in New Zealand of late years. 
Solanum nigrum, L. “Handbook,” p.761. Should beconsidered as indigenous. 
„ virginianum, L. Kirk, Trans., 2, p. 140. It appears to be quite 
uncertain what plant Linneus had in view when he applied 
this name, which had much better be dropped. I have no 
idea what species Mr. Kirk had in mind. 
Verbascum pheniceum, L. Kirk, Trans., 9, p. 141. Has not been seen in & 
naturalized state of late years. á 
Herpestes cuneifolia, Spr. Erroneously included in Raoul's list of New 
Zealand plants. 
Veronica officinalis, L. I am not aware that this has been observed in & 
naturalized state in the Auckland district. 
„ anagallis, L. Should probably be looked upon as indigenous. 
Phytolacca decandra, L. ‘ Handbook," p. 701. Introduced into the lists 
by mistake, as explained by Mr. Kirk (Trans. 2, p. 141.) 
Polygonum aviculare, L. It is perhaps preferable to regard this species as 
indigenous. 
js minus, L. ‘ Handbook," p. 761. Is certainly indigenous, if 
the variety decipiens is the plant meant ; and I am not aware 
that any other form has been,seen in New Zealand.
