444 StJBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OS' NEW ZEALAND. [Systematic Hotany. 



Zealand, cold peaty localities from Cape Colville southwards ; Fuegia ; Falkland 

 Islands.) 



This appears to be more plentiful in the Auckland Islands than in New Zealand, 

 where it is by no means a common plant. 



Todea superba, Col. 



Todea superba, Col. in Tasm. Journ, Nat. Sci., ii, 188 (1844) ; Hook. & Bak., 

 Syn. Fil., 428 (1868). Leptopteris superba, Hook., Ic. Plant., 910 (1854). 



Auckland Islands : Cockayne. (New Zealand, damp hilly forests, from the 

 upper Thames southwards.) 



This is included in Dr. Cockayne's enumeration given in Trans, N.Z. Inst., 

 xxxvi ; but I have seen no specimens, and it does not seem to have been observed 

 by any other collector. 



Lycopodium varium, R. Br. 



Lycopodium varium, R. Br., Prodr., 165 (1810) ; Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., i, 

 115. 



Auckland, Campbell, Antipodes, and Macquarie Islands : Abundant throughout ; 

 Hooker and all subsequent collectors. (Throughout New Zealand ; Victoria ; Tas- 

 mania.) 



Forms a very conspicuous portion of the fiorula. It is somewhat curious that 

 L. Selago, so common in mountain districts in New Zealand, and also found in 

 antarctic America, has not yet been observed in the islands to the south of New 

 Zealand. The closely allied L. Saururus, plentiful in the Falkland Islands, Ker- 

 guelen Island, Tristan d'Acunha, Juan Fernandez, &c., might also have been 

 expected. 



Lycopodium fastigiatum, R. Br. 



Lycopodium fastigiatum, R. Br., Prodr., 165 (1810) ; Bak., Fern Allies, 27 

 (1887). L. davatum, var. magellanicum, Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., i, 113 

 (1844), but not L. magellanicum, Swartz. L. davatum, var. fastigiatum, 

 Benth., Fl. Austral., vii, 675 (1878). 



Auckland, Campbell, and Antipodes Islands : Not uncommon in open peaty 

 situations ; Hooker, Kirk, and others. (Throughout New Zealand ; Australia ; Tas- 

 mania.) 



Very closely allied to the northern L. davatum, and still nearer to L. magellanicum, 

 which represents it in Fuegia, the Falkland Islands, Kerguelen Island, and Marion 

 Island. 



Lycopodium scariosum, Forst. 



Lycopodium scariosum, Forst., Prodr., n. 484 (1786) ; Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., 

 i, 112 (1844). 



Auckland Islands : Hooker, Kirk, Aston, Tennant ! (Throughout New Zealand ; 

 Victoria ; Tasmania ; South America.)
