224 Transactions.— Botany, 
Gentiana saxosa, Forst., var. recurvata. A littoral form with prostrate or 
suberect stems excessively branched, flowers produced in profusion. 
Calyx divided fully two-thirds of its length, segments thickened, sub- 
ulate, recurved at the tips. Found also on the outlying islets and on 
the Bluff Hill. 
Liparophyllum gunnii, Hook. f. Plentiful in swampy places on the low 
ground between Paterson’s Inlet and Mason’s Bay. Observed by 
Messrs. Petrie and Thompson at Port Pegasus. 
Myosotis antarctica, Hook. f., sub-sp. traillii. Mason's Bay. 
Myosotis capitata, Hook. f., sub-sp. albida. A rather coarse littoral plant 
which might almost claim specific honours. The radical leaves are 
much longer than in the type and on longer petioles; the cauline leaves 
are narrower and more distant, continued to the base of the inflor- 
escence. The flowers are smaller, densely erowded, corolla white. 
Also on the outlying islets and on Campbell Island, but I am assured 
that it does not occur on the Auckland Islands. 
Dacrydium intermedium, T. Kirk, var. gracilis. Usually a smaller plant 
than the type, from which it differs in its slender branchlets and 
monecious flowers. Plants 3-6 feet high are often laden with flowers. 
Two specimens of a small epiphytie orchid were obtained on the descent 
from Mount Anglem. It seems probable that they will form the type 
of a new genus closely allied to Burnettia and Chiloglottis. 
Juncus antarcticus, Hook f. (?) A plant doubtfully referred to this species for 
the present was collected on Mount Anglem. 
Scirpus (Isolepis) muscosus, n. s. A minute species, less than one inch in 
height, forming moss-like patehes at the head of Paterson's Inlet. Also 
on the Bluff Hill. 
Scirpus (Isolepis) ebenocarpus, n. s. A tufted species resembling a luxuriant 
state of S. cartilaginea, but easily distinguished by the shining jet- 
black nuts. The Neck. 
Ehrharta thomsonii, D. Petrie. A small tufted species not uncommon in 
moist situations on the hills. 
Danthonia crassiuscula, n. s. A sparsely-tufted rigid glabrous plant 1'-14/ 
high, with a lax broadly-ovate panicle, allied to D. ovata, J. Buch. 
Mount Anglem. 
Danthonia flaccida, n. s. A small slender species allied to D. buchanani 
Hook. f. and to D. pumilio. Mount Anglem, 2,800 feet. 
Poa walkeri, n.s. A remarkable plant, densely tufted, strict, with the 
panicle excessively contracted. Local. East coast, Stewart Island. 
We I have great pleasure in attaching Mr. Walker’s name to this distinct 
eR species, as a slight recognition of his ready assistance during my stay 
on the island.
