Cehnisia verbascoides, Hook. f. The occurrence of this grand Otago plant on 

 Campbell Island is of considerable interest. The flowers are rather 

 larger than in specimen from the Horse ranges. 



C. vernicosa, Hook. f. The specimens have the ligulas of the ray-florets whiet, 



not rose-coloured at the tips as represented in Flora Antarctica. In 

 this respect it agrees with all the species of the genus, but differs in 

 having disc-florets of a deep purple colour. 



Pleurophyllum speciosum, Hook. f. 



P. crinifei'um, Hook. f. Imperfect specimen only. 



Cotula plumosa, Hook. f. 



Gnaphalium prostratiim, Hook. f. The specimens in the different sets show 

 that G. bellidioides cannot be separated from this species. A com- 

 plete transition may be seen from the short leafy branch terminated 

 by a sessile head of G. prostratum, to the elongate slender peduncle of 

 G. bellidioides. 



D?'acophylUmi urvilleanum, A. Eich., var. scoparium. 



D. longifolium, Hook. f. Otago collection only. 

 Veronica benthami, Hook. f. 



Caladenia bifolia, Hook. f. 



Anthericum rossii, Hook. f. Specimens of A. hookeri, from Lake Harris, 

 exhibit a marked approach to the dioecious condition characteristic 

 of A. rossii. 



Luzula crinita, Hook. f. 



Isolepis aucklandica, Hook. f. — Lieutenant Rathouis. 



Oreobolus pumilis, R. Br. 



Carex appressa, Br. A small form ; the panicle less than two inches in 

 length. 



C. trijida, Cav. 



Poa foliosa, Hook. f. The typical form recorded by Mr. Buchanan from 

 the Snares and from the Chatham Islands, in the latter case incor- 

 rectly, Festuca scoparia, which is omitted from his list of Chatham 

 Island plants, having been mistaken for it. 



Hymenophyllum multijidimi, Swartz. 



Hypolepis millefolium, Hook. f. With some hesitation I refer a sterile speci- 

 men collected by Lieutenant Rathouis to this species ; it may, how- 

 ever, prove to be a finely cut form of Polypodium rugulosum. 



Pteris incisa, Thunb. 



Lomaria capense, Willd. 



L. dura, Moore. In all the collections and apparently attaining a large size. 



Aspidium aculeatu?n, Swartz, var. vestitum. The specimens are of more rigid 

 texture than any I have seen from either the North or South Island,
