Celmisia verbascoides, Hook. f. The occurrence of this grand Otago plant on 
Campbell Island is of considerable interest. The flowers are rather 
larger than in specimen from the Horse ranges. 
C. vernieosa, Hook.f. The specimens have the ligule of the ray-florets whiet, 
not rose-coloured at the tips as represented in Flora Antarctica. In 
this respect it agrees with all the species of the genus, but differs in 
having disc-florets of a deep purple colour. 
Pleurophyllum speciosum, Hook. f. 
P. criniferum, Hook. f. Imperfect specimen only. 
Cotula plumosa, Hook. f. 
Gnaphalium prostratum, Hook. f. The specimens in the different sets show 
that G. bellidicides cannot be separated from this species. A com- 
plete transition may be seen from the short leafy branch terminated 
by a sessile head of G. prostratum, to the elongate slender peduncle of 
G. bellidioides. 
Dracophyllum urvilleanum, A. Rich., var. scoparium. 
D. longifolium, Hook. f. Otago collection only. 
Veronica benthami, Hook. f. 
Caladenia bifolia, Hook. f. 
Anthericum rossii, Hook. f. Specimens of A. hookeri, from Lake Harris, 
exhibit a marked approach to the diccious condition characteristic 
of A. rossit. 
Luzula erinita, Hook. f. 
Isolepis aucklandica, Hook. f.—Lieutenant Rathouis. 
Oreobolus pumilis, R. Br. ; 
Carex appressa, Br. A small form; the panicle less than two inches m 
length. 
C. trifida, Cav. 
Poa foliosa, Hook. f. The typical form recorded by Mr. Buchanan from 
the Snares and from the Chatham Islands, in the latter case mc0F 
rectly, Festuca scoparia, which is omitted from his list of Chatham 
Island plants, having been mistaken for it. 
Hymenophyllum multifidum, Swartz. 
Hypolepis millefolium, Hook. f. With some hesitation I refer a sterile speci- 
men collected by Lieutenant Rathouis to this species ; is may, how- 
ever, prove to be a finely cut form of Polypodium rugulosum. 
Pteris incisa, Thunb.
