— Waimarino Plain, at edge of forest, some two miles south of 
the Waimarino Railway-státion : E. Phillips Turner (1909), Н. B. Matthews 
and H. Carse (Jan., 1921) ! Arnold Wall (Feb., 1922) ! 
Mr. Turner, to whom the species is dedicated, discovered it in the 
distriet where Matthews and Carse afterwards collected specimens. He 
definitely refers to it in his “ Report on the Vegetation of the Higher 
Waimarino District” (Government Printer, 1909), but I have seen no 
specimen from him. . Matthews has kindly supplied many of the par- 
ticulars embodied in the above description. He thinks the plants may be 
ten to fifteen years old before they assume the adult form. They flower 
which was recognized by its beginning to produce mature branches and 
leaves. Wall also collected the juvenile state.
