Art. XXVII. — An Account of an Undescrihed Pittosporum and Loranthup, 

 in the Herbarium of the Colonial Museum, Wellington. By T. Kirk. 



[Bead before the Wellington Ph'dosojjhical Society, August 20, 1870.] 



In the course of an examination of the copious Herbarium of the Colonial 

 Museum, several undescribed plants have come under my notice, two of which, 

 at the request of my valued friend, Dr. Hector, I now attempt to describe. 



Pittosporum Paljjhii, Kirk, n . s. 



A laxly -branched shrub, 8 to 12 feet in cultivation, with dark brown bark, 

 young branches tomentose. Leaves alternate, coriaceous, tomentose beneath, 

 especially when young, slightly narrowed and irregular at the base, obtuse oi 

 slightly acuminate, 2"-3^^ long, on rather long slender petioles. Plowers iji 

 terminal 3— 8-flowered umbels, peduncles l^"— f "j tomentose, decurved in fruit ; 

 sepals linear, obtuse tomentose ; petals narrow recurved ; capsules rounded, 

 3-lobed and valved, never downy. 



Hab. — Patea District,* Pr. Ealph. Allied to P. crassifolium. Banks and 

 Sol., and to P. umbellatum. Banks and Sol., in its slender spreading branches, 

 oblong leaves, and rounded capsules ; from P. crassifolium it differs in addition, 

 in the larger leaves, which are much less coriaceous and tomentose, never 

 narrowed into the petiole, in the truly umbellate inflorescence, short peduncles, 

 small smooth capsules and seeds ; from P. umbellatum, in the tomentose leaves 



* Since the above was written, Mr. W. J. Palmer, of Auckland, informs me that he 

 has seen this x^laut on the Great Barrier Island.
