Mrs. Mason ! 



villosum, Col. Eouteburne ; mountains above Lake Harris. 

 Davallia fosteri, Carrutli. Dusky Bay — Forster. " Synopsis Filicum," edit. 



2. This species is only known from Forster's original 



specimen in the British Museum. 

 Lindsaya viridis, Col. West Coast — J. Buchanan. 

 Lomaria dura, Moore. West Coast Sounds — J. D. Enys ! Catlin Eiver — 



D. Purdie and P. Thompson ! Bluff Hill— T. Kirk. In.

Lycopodiace^. 

 Lycopodium laterale, Brown. Stewart Island — Mrs. Pearson! 



Corrigenda. 



Panax lessonii, DC. Said to occur on the west coast of Otago, but it is to 

 be feared that some mistake has been made. The plant 

 appears to be confined to the Auckland district. 



Pimelea urvilleana, A. Eich. Mentioned in Mr. Buchanan's list, but I 

 greatly fear that some other species has been mistaken for 

 it. 



Potamogeton heterophyllus, Schreber. Included in the hsts of Mr. Buchanan 

 and Dr. Lindsay, but must be expunged as it is not a New 

 Zealand plant. Young states of the so-called "P. natayis " 

 • which developes copious submerged leaves have been mis- 

 taken for it throughout the colony. 



Dichelachne stipoides, Hook. f. Included in Mr. Buchanan's list, but the 

 precise locality forgotten. It is a northern plant finding 

 its southern boundary at the East Cape, and is, at best, of 

 extremely improbable occurrence in any part of the South 

 Island. 



Lomaria jnimila, Eaoul. Mr. Buchanan informs me that he mistook a 

 small form of L. membranaeea, Colenso, for this species. It 

 is, however, not unlikely to occur on the west coast.
