and ought certainly to become a considerable source of income to the colony. 
There are, no doubt, many other plants found in the province from which 
valuable products of some kind might be obtained, and it is to be hoped 
that more attention will be given to this subject than has been in the past. 
In conclusion, may I express a hope that some of the members of this 
Institute may be induced to study the native plants of the province, as 
much remains to be done in ascertaining the geographical and altitudinal 
range of the various Alpine species, and many new plants may yet be 
discovered in the more secluded mountain valleys. 
In the Cryptogams much remains to be done in all the districts, in both 
collecting and arranging the species which have not been carefully sought 
for by any collector. : 
The catalogue attached to this paper I have made as complete as 
possible. The whole of the species enumerated have been collected by my 
father and myself, and the identification may be relied upon as correct. 
My studies and explorations, however, have been carried on during what 
little time could be spared from my regular employment, and I have, there- 
fore, no doubt but that many additions will be made to our knowledge of 
the flora of Canterbury by future observers.
