Cheeseman. — On Naturalized Plants of Auckland District. 281 



Psoralea pinnata, L. Included in Mr. Kirk's list. I have only seen it in 



cultivation in gardens. (Cape.) 

 Indiyofera viscosa, Lam. An occasional garden escape near Auckland. 



(Tropics.) 

 Robinia pseud-acacia, L. Copiously naturalized in many places in the 



Waikato country, forming large groves. Near Taupiri it has 



established itself in places for several miles on the western 



side of the river. (United States.) 

 Vicia sativa, L. Not uncommon in cultivated districts throughout the 



district. (Europe.) 

 „ tetrasperma, Moench. A common and troublesome weed throughout 



the district, from the North Cape to Poverty Bay. (Europe.) 

 ,, hirsuta, Koch. Bay of Islands ; vicinity of Auckland, and southwards 



to the Waikato, but by no means common. (Europe.) 



* Lens esculenta, Gr. & Godr. This has become abundantly naturalized in 



the Auckland Domain, having doubtless escaped from some 

 garden in the vicinity. (S. Europe.) 

 Lathyrus odoratus, L. Occasionally establishes itself near gardens, but is 

 not likely to become permanently naturalized. (S. Europe.) 



* ,, latifolius, L. An occasional garden escape. (S. Europe.) 

 Dolichos liynosus, L. Spreads in neglected gardens, etc., but can hardly be 



looked at in the light of a naturalized plant. (Tropical Asia.) 

 Acacia dealbata, Link. This increases by means of suckers in neglected 

 plantations, etc., and in some localities is fairly established. 

 (Australia.) 

 Albizzia lophantha, Willd. This was formerly largely planted about the mis- 

 sion stations and Maori settlements, and as it springs up readily 

 from seed, has in many cases formed large groves. (Australia.) 



RoSACEiE. 



Amyydalus persica, L. Deserted Maori plantations, etc., and often appear- 

 ing spontaneously in a variety of situations. (Central Asia.) 



Prunus cerasus, L. Maintains itself in deserted Maori plantations and 

 orchards, in a few cases forming small groves. (S. Europe.) 



Spircea salicifolia, Willd. Included in Mr. Kirk's list. I have only seen it 

 where actually planted. (Europe.) 



Rubus idcEus, L. An escape from cultivation, but well established in a few 

 localities. Lake Pupuke ; Hunua ; near Drury, etc. (Europe.) 

 ,, fruticosus, L. Waste places, hedges, roadsides, etc. Now common 

 in most districts, and rapidly increasing. Several of the 

 subspecies are introduced, R. discolor, W. and N., being per- 

 haps the most frequent, (Europe.)
