sessile, toothed ; flowers in terminal racemes. The specimen 1s in an imma- 
ture fruited condition. The habit of the plant is exactly that of Camelina 
dentata, Pers., which it closely resembles in general appearance. 
Viola filicaulis, Hook. f. 
Mr. Hamilton points out that the flowers are sometimes produced in 
pairs from the same axil. 
Panax simplex, Forst. 
À small specimen, not more than 3 inches in height, is doubtfully iden- 
tifed with the young state of this species. It has 5-foliolate, membranous 
leaves, with long slender petioles, and pinnate or pinnatifid leaflets; the 
segments sharply toothed. 
Panaz, sp. nov. ? 
Two specimens in the young state, 6-8 inches in height, appear widely 
different from any described New Zealand species. They are characterised 
by simple linear leaves, similar to those of P. crassifolium, but membranous, 
narrow, and not more than from 8 to 5 inches long, on slender petioles, 
with sharp distant teeth. One specimen has at the base deeply tripartite 
leaves, the middle segment being much the longest. The lowest leaf is 
trilobate, with short broad teeth, so that it closely resembles the leaf of the 
hawthorn. 
Celmisia bellidioides, Hook. f. 
Mr. Hamilton does not mention the precise locality where he collected 
this plant, probably in the vicinity of the lower part of the Francis Joseph 
Glacier, which would explain its occurrence at so low an elevation as 1,000 
feet or less. 
Cuscuta densiflora, Hook. f. 
The discovery of this remarkably local plant at Okarito shows a marked 
extension of its western range. Elsewhere it occurs in Nelson, Port Under- 
wood, and Otago, but appears to be confined to a single locality in each 
district. 
Euphrasia revoluta, Hook. f, 
Not previously observed at so low an altitude as 1,000 feet ; the remarks 
respecting Celmisia bellidioides apply to this plant also. 
Euphrasia longiflora, MS. 
I apply this name provisionally to a remarkable plant of which Mr. 
Hamilton’s specimens are scarcely sufficient to enable me to offer a com- 
plete description. It will be seen that in some respects it differs from 
Euphrasia, although perhaps not to a sufficient degree to warrant generic 
distinction. 
Stems weak, procumbent, matted, tetragonous, 2-4 inches long, and 
with the leaves sparingly covered with scattered retrorse hairs; leaves
