shortly acuminatej quite entire. Peduncles shorter than the leaves. Umbels 

 3— 8-flowered. Calyx-teeth acute. Pedicels shorter than the flowers. Fruits 

 tetragonous ; mericarp 5-i-ibbed. — Pozoa reniformis, Hook, i., Fl. Antarc. i.

 800ft. to 1,700ft. Deo., Jan. 



A. Haastii has been mistaken for this species by myself on the Spencer Mountains, by Petrie 

 in the Nevis Valley, and apparently by Gheeseman on Mount Peel. The stipules are invariably 

 entire. 



4. A. Haastii, Benth. and Hook. f. I.e. Rootstock slender or stout, 

 crowned with radical leaves and prostrate or creeping leafy flowering-branches. 

 Leaves glabrous or sparingly setose above or below, orbicular or reuiform, iin.— 

 l4in. broad, usually with an open sinus, more or less coriaceous, glossy, broadly 

 crenate-lobed ; lobes shallow; petiole lin.— 6iu. or more; stipules ciliate or 

 almost laciniate. Primary umbels 1—3 or more, overtopped by 1—3 secondary 

 umbels. Peduncles 4in. — Sin. long, in the axils of shortly-petiolate leaves. 

 Involucral leaves linear-oblong, united at the base. Flowers 3—50. Pedicels 

 exceeding the tetragonous fruits. Carpels 5-ribbed. — Pozoa Haastii, Hook, f., 

 Handbk. 88. 



NORTH Island: Euahinfe Range, A. Hamilton! SOUTH Island: Nelson to Southland. 

 2,000ft. to 5,000ft. Not unfrequent. Dec, Jan. 



Much too closely related to A. reniformis, from which it can only be distinguished by the 

 ciliated or laciniate stipules, pedicels longer than the fruits, and more numerous flowers. 



5. A. Roughii, Benth. and Hook f. I.e. Habit of A. Haastii. Leaves 

 orbicular, fin.— l^in. in diameter, 3— 5-foliolate or -partite, coriaceous, glabrous, 

 shining; leaflets broadly obcuneate, 5-toothed or -lobed, sessile; petioles 2in.— 

 6in. long ; stipules acute or laciniate. Stolons exceeding the leaves. Pe- 

 duncles 1-4, ^in.— Sin. long, developed in the axils of lobed or divided leaves. 

 Primary umbels overtopped by 1 or more secondary umbels rising from 

 the base of the next below it. Umbels 5— 20-flowered ; involucral leaves 

 free, obtuse, entire or toothed below the middle. Calyx-tube ovate, obtuse. 

 Stylopodia large ; styles elongated. Fruits somewhat rounded, obviously 5- 

 ribbed, — Pozoa Roughii, Hook, f., Handbk. 89. 



SOUTH Island : Marlborough: Mount Stokes, MacMahon ! Nelson: Dun Mountain, floM^Ti .' 

 Sinclair! Wooded Peak, Ben Nevis, &o., Gi6is .' Raglan Mountains and above the Wairau Gorge, 

 Gheeseman. Fowler's Pass, Arauri, T. K. 3,000ft. to 5,000ft. Dec, Jan. 



Most nearly related to A. Haastii, but distinguished by the divided leaves, more numerous 

 umbels, obtuse calyx-lobes, and longer styles. 



6. A. hydrocotyloides, Benth. and Hook. f. I.e. Root stout, often 

 1ft. long or more. Stems stout, tufted, creeping and rooting at the nodes, 

 often forming small rather compact mounds. Leaves crowded at the rootstock 

 and nodes, iin.-|in. in diameter, orbicular or orbicular-reniform, thick and 

 coriaceous, 3-5-foliolate or -partite ; leaflets sessile, broadly obovatc-cuneate, 

 3-5-lobed or obtusely toothed ; petiole iin.-2in. long ; stipules entire, acute 

 or ciliate. Peduncles solitary or 2-4 at the apex of a short k'afv flowerinn-
