POLYGONE^E. 



Polygonum aviculare, L., Europe, A. Handbook Fl. N. Z., p. 761, where it 

 is included in the list of naturalized plants, chiefly, I presume, from its 

 rapid diffusion in the south, coupled with the fact of its being a common 

 European plant. In this province it is not spreading more than might be 

 expected from the increase of cultivated land. I prefer to regard it as 

 indigenous. 

 Polygonum minus, Herd., Europe, A. Handbook Fl. N. Z., p. 761. Except 

 the var. decipiens be intended, I have not seen this plant in the colony. 

 That form must surely be considered indigenous. 

 Fagopyrum esculentum, Mcench., Europe, A., 3-6. Agri. (?) Ace. (?) Ali. 

 Agre., etc. May possibly become a weed of cultivated land, but at present 

 can scarcely be considered naturalized. 

 Bumex conglomeratus, Murr., Europe, P., 3. Ace. Col. Inu. 



viridis, Sibth., Europe, P., 1-2-3-4-5-6. Ace. Den. Syl. Sep.

Chenopodium album, L., Europe, A., 3-6. Ace. Col. Agre.

„ murale, L., Europe, A., 2-3-5-6. Ace. Den. Via. Agre. 



„ urbicum, L., Europe, A. Handbook Fl. N. Z., p. 762. I have 



not seen N. Z. specimens. 

 Chenopodium ambrosioides, L., Europe, A. (P. ?). Handbook Fl. N. Z., p. 762. 

 It seems preferable to regard this as indigenous. As in Europe, so here, 

 soils turned over from considerable depths frequently produce this plant 

 in abundance, which could not be the case, at present, had it been intro- 

 duced by Europeans. 



Amaranthace^e. 



Euxolus viridis, Moq., Brazil, A., 2-6. Unc. Col. (?) Ali. (?) Via. The 

 occurrence of this plant in the Bay of Islands or Whangarei districts, 

 rests upon Cunningham's authority (see " Handbook," p. 233), no other 

 botanist appears to have met with it. Observed by the writer in a 

 solitary locality at the Thames, but on ground set apart for building 

 purposes.
