Cheeseman. — On Naturalized Plants of Auckland District. 283 



Lagenaria vulgaris, L. This is the "hue" of the Maoris, doubtless intro- 

 duced by them, and still cultivated in many of their settle- 

 ments. As a naturalized plant it is in precisely the same 

 position as the preceding species. (Tropics.) 



FlCOIDEiE. 



* Mesembryanthemum edule, L. Naturalized on the sandy beach at Kohi- 



marama, Auckland Harbour ; doubtless originally an outcast 

 from some garden in the vicinity. (Cape.) 



UmBELLIFERjE. 



* Bupleurum rotundifolium, L. Vicinity of Auckland, where it has appeared 



as a weed in a few large market-gardens. (Europe.) 



* Conium mamlatum, L. A few plants of this were observed in some waste 



ground at the Thames in 1880 ; but in a late visit to the 

 locality I did not observe it. (Europe.) 

 Apium yraveolens, L. Deserted gardens and waste places. Brackish -water 

 swamps between the Thames and Piako rivers, a situation 

 where it will probably spread. (Europe.) 

 ,, eeptophyllum, A.DC. Mongonui township ; Eussell (Bay of Islands) ; 

 Kawau Island (T. Kirk) ; streets of Auckland ; near Otahuhu, 

 etc. Considered by Mr. Kirk to be indigenous, an opinion 

 with which I cannot agree. (Australia.) 



* Ammi majus, L. Bare at present, but likely to spread. Bemuera ; 



Auckland Domain. (Europe.) 



Larum petroselinum, Benth. (Petroselinum sativum, Hoffm.) An escape from 

 cultivation, but plentiful in several localities, as on the lava- 

 fields round Mount Eden, etc. (Europe.) 



Pimpinella saxifraya, L. I take this from Mr. Kirk's list. I have not 

 myself seen it in a naturalized condition. (Europe.) 



Scandix pecten-veneris, L. Waste places about Auckland, not at all common. 

 (Europe.) 



Fmniculum vulgar e, Ga3rtn. Boadsides and waste places, deserted gardens, 

 etc. Of common occurrence. (Europe.) 



Peucedanum sativum, Benth. (Pastinaca, L.) A garden escape in a few 

 localities. (Europe.) 



Daucus carota, L. Not uncommon in pastures and meadows throughout the 

 district. (Europe.) 



Caucalis nodosa, Scop. Waste places, local, Whangarei ; vicinity of Auck- 

 land; Thames. (Europe.) 



Araliace^e. 



* Hedera helix, L. Spreads occasionally in plantations and gardens, but 



can hardly be considered as naturalized. (Europe.)
