Stylidieae. 

 Phyllachne clavigera, F. Miiell. 



Forstera clavigera, Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., i, 38, t. 28 (1844). F. aretriastri- 

 folia, Homb. & Jacq., Bot. Voy. Astrol. et Zel., t. 16c (1853). Helo- 

 fhyllum davigerum, Hook, i., Handb. N.Z. FL, 167 (1864). Phyllachne 

 clavigera, F. Muell., Fragm., viii, 40 (1873). 



Auckland and Campbell Islands : Abundant in moist peaty localities, 500- 

 1,800 ft. elevation ; Hooker, D'Urville, Kirk ! Cockayne ! Aston ! Tennant ! Laing ! 

 (New Zealand, alpine localities from Canterbury southwards.) 



According to all travellers, the bright-green hard cushions of this plant are 

 familiar objects on the hills of the Auckland and Campbell Islands, particularly above 

 500 ft. elevation. It is closely allied to the Fuegian P. uliginosa, which represents it 

 m that country. 



CaMPAN UL ACE AE . 



Pratia arenaria, Hook, f 



Pratia arenaria. Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., i, 41, t. 29 (1844). P. angulata, 

 var. arenaria. Hook, f., Fl. Nov. Zel., i, 157 (1853). 



Auckland Islands : Sandy soil on the shores of Enderby Island ; Lieutenant 

 Oakely (Hooker, Fl. Antarct.), Cockayne, Aston. Campbell Island : Locality not 

 stated ; Laing ! Antipodes Island : Kirk ! Cockayne ! (South - eastern coast of 

 Otago; Chatham Islands.) 



This appears to me to differ from all the forms of P. angulata in the peculiar 

 habit, larger, very obscurely toothed and nearly sessile leaves, and in the very short 

 peduncles. I have therefore reinstated it as a species, Hooker's description and 

 plate are excellent. 



Epacridaceae. 



Cyathodes empetrifolia, Hook. f. 



Androstoma empetrifolia. Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., i, 44, t. 30 (1844). Cyathodes 

 empetrifolia, Hook, f., Fl. Zel., i, 164 (1853). 



Auckland Islands : Abundant above the bush-level, ascending to quite 1,500 ft. ; 

 Hooker, Kirk ! Cockayne, Aston, Tennant ! Campbell Island : Recorded by Hooker 

 in the Handbook, but not mentioned in the " Flora Antarctica." (New Zealand, 

 from Cape Colville southwards.) 



The Auckland Island specimens of this common plant do not differ in any im- 

 portant character from the usual state of the species in New Zealand. 



Dracophyllum longifolium, R. Br. 



Epacris longifolia, Forst., Prodr., n. 68 (1786). Dracophyllum longifolium, 

 R. Br., Prodr., 556 ; Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., i, 45, t. 31, 32 (1844) ; 

 Homb. & Jacq., Bot. Voy. Astrol. et Zel., 33, t. 27, Dicot. (1853). 



Auckland and Campbell Islands : Abundant from sea-level to about 700 ft. 

 elevation ; Hooker and all subsequent collectors. (New Zealand, common in moun- 

 tain districts from the East Cape southwards.)
