Poniaderris phylicifolia, Lodd. — In abundance between Whakarewarewa and 



Kaitiiiria ; not observed further south. 

 Coriaria thymifoUa, Humb. — Attains its northern limit at Opepe, where it is 



certainly perennial. Captain Gilbert Mair informs me that it has an 



outlying habitat at Matata, on the East Coast. 

 Carmichcelia juncea, Col., (identified in the absence of flowers) reaches its 



northern limit at Rotorua. 

 Haloragis, n.s. — Motukino. 



Myriophyllum, n.s. — In habit much resembling Crantzia lineata ; forms com- 

 pact masses 2 to 3 inches in height in water from 1 to 5 feet deep ; 



Rotokakahi ; specimens imperfect. 

 Myriophyllum, n.s., habit of M. integrifolia. — Moist ground; Tikitapu Lake ; 



specimens imperfect. 

 Metrosideros hypericifolia, A. Cunn. — Found on the summit of Tarawera 



mountain. 

 Hydrocotyle heteromeria, DC. — Rotokakahi ; the most southern locality yet 



recorded for a plant which will probably prove to have a wide distribu- 

 tion although remarkably sparse. 

 ? Pozoa, sp. — A minute plant, doubtfully referred to this genus in the absence 



of any trace of flower or fruit, was collected on the steep side of a deep 



ravine at Motukino. 

 Alseuosmia macrophylla, A. Cunn. — Crests of Ngongotaha and adjacent 



ranges, 2,300 feet, the most southern locality yet recorded. 

 CoroJcia buddleoides, A. Cunn. — Summit of Tarawera, the most southern 



habitat recorded ; altitude, 3,600 feet. 

 Coprosma lucida, Forst. — Summit of Tarawera. 



Olearia furfaracea, Hook. f. — Summit of Tarawera mountain, 3,600 feet. 

 Craspedia Jimbriata, DC. — The most northern locality noted was at Kotu- 



kuroa Creek, but I believe the plant occurs at Maungarewa, twelve miles 



nearer Tauranga. 

 Cassinia vauvilliersii, Hook. f. — Attains its northern boundary at Motukino. 

 Raoulia monroi, Hook, f. — Summit of Tarawera; altitude^ 3,600 feet, where 



it attains its northern limit ; found also at Motukino, 1,500 feet. The 



first record of its discovery in the North Island, although specimens 



collected on the Kaimanawa mountains in 1870 by Dr. Hector are in the 



herbarium of the Colonial Museum. 

 R. hectori, Hook, f (flowers not seen). — Attains its northern limit south of 



Oruanui, where it forms large patches on the plains ; altitude, 1,600 feet. 

 Gnaphalimn filicaule, Hook. f. — Northern boundary at Kotukuroa Creek, 



north of Rotorua. 

 Gaultheria fagifolia, Hook. f. — Motukino ; not found elsewhere.
