Systematic Botany.] SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. 417 



Cotula dioica, Hook. f. 



Leftinella dioica, Hook, f., Fl. Nov. Zel., i, 129 (1853). Cotula dioica, 

 Hook, f., Handb. N.Z. Fl., 143 (1864). 



Auckland Islands : Near the shore ; Dr. R. Koettlitz. (New Zealand, from 

 the Kaipara Harbour southwards.) 



I insert this on the authority of Dr. Cockayne. See Trans. N.Z. Inst., xxxvi, 321. 



Abrotanella spathulata, Hook. f. 



Trineuron spathulatum. Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., i, 24, t. 17 (1844). Abrota- 

 nella spathulata, Hook, f., Handb. N.Z. FL, 139 (1864). 



Auckland and Campbell Islands : Peaty soil from sea-level to 1,500 ft., but 

 not common below 500 ft. ; Hooker, Kirk ! Cockayne, Aston ! Tennant ! Buchanan ! 

 Laing ! (Endemic.) 



Specimens collected by Kirk at Carnley Harbour are much larger than those 

 figured by Hooker, and have the flower-heads raised on a peduncle sometimes over 

 2 in. long. On the other hand, those gathered by Aston and Tennant are smaller, 

 with the inflorescence hidden amongst the uppermost leaves. 



Abrotanella rosulata, Hook. f. 



Ceratella rosulata, Hook, f., Fl. Antarct., i, 25, t. 18 (1844). Abrotanella 

 rosulata, Hook, f., Handb. N.Z. Fl., 139 (1864). 



Campbell Island : Rocky places on the hills, above 800 ft. elevation, ascending 

 to the summit of Mount Honey, alt. 1,860 ft., not common ; Hooker, Kirk ! Cockayne, 

 Laing ! (Endemic.) 



Mainly distinguished from the preceding by the smaller size and more compact 

 habit, smaller and broader rosulate leaves, and 4-horned achenes. Mr. Kirk's speci- 

 mens are in full flower ; Mr. Laing's are quite immature. 



Erechtites, sp. 



lErechtites prenanthoides, D.C., Prodr., vi, 296 (1837); Hook, f., Fl. -Ant- 

 arct., ii, 544 (1847). 



Auckland Islands : Precise locality not stated ; Le Guillon : Enderby Island ; 

 Cockayne, Tennant ! (New Zealand ?) 



A species of Erechtites was gathered by D'Urville's expedition in 1840, and was 

 referred by Hooker to the widely distributed E. frenanthoides. Probably the same 

 plant was collected by Dr. Cockayne on Enderby Island in 1903, and again by the 

 present expedition in 1907. The single specimen I have seen is immature and in 

 very poor condition, and is quite insufficient for determination ; but it differs from 

 the usual state of E. prenanthoides in the toothing of the leaf-margin, and can hardly 

 be referred to that species. 



Senecio antipodus, T. Kirk 



Senecio antipodus, T. Kirk in Trans. N.Z. Inst., xxiii, 440 (1891), name only ; 

 Students' Fl., 341 (1899). 



Antipodes Island : Abundant over the greater part of the island : Kirk ! 

 Cockayne. (Endemic.)
