Helichrysum.] XXXix. COMPOSITAE. 311 



long soft hairs, which are restricted to a dense tuft ahove, projecting beyond 

 the margin. Heads ^in.— f in. in diameter ; involucral bracts in 3 series, oblong, 

 mostly obtuse, the outer villous, the inner broader, glabrate, searious, pale, not 

 radiating. Achene compressed, " covered with long silky hairs." Pappus- 

 hairs barbellate at base, irregularly thickened towards the apex. — Haastia 

 Loganii, Buch. in Trans. N.Z.I, xiv. (1881) 350, t. xxx. f. 3. 



NORTH Island : Mount Holdsworth, Tararua Range, 4,500£t., Arnold and Bech I Buchanan 

 and Logan. 



My specimens, for which I am indebted to T. Arnold, are in poor condition, and do not 

 contain florets or aohenes ; but the involucral bracts, the included style as shown in Buchanan's 

 drawing, and the compressed silky achene show that this plant belongs either to Helichrysum or 

 Baoulia. 



8. H. glomeratum, Benth. and Hook. /., Gen. El. ii. 311. A much- 

 branched shrub, 2ft.— 8ft. high. Branches spreading, slender, grooved, cottony 

 or tomentose. Leaves Jin.— lin. long or more, ^in.— Jin. broad, flat, orbicular to 

 broadly ovate-spathulate, abruptly narrowed into short slender petioles, rounded 

 at the tip or minutely apiculate, white with appressed tomentum beneath. 

 Heads in lateral or terminal subglobose corymbs, sessile or shortly pedunculate; 

 involucres sessile or pedicellate, I'^in. long; involucral bracts few, linear, 

 obtuse or subacute, searious, tomentose at the base. Female flowers few, very 

 slender. Disk-florets tubular, acutely 5-toothed. Achene glabrate or puberu- 

 lous. Pappus-hairs slightly thickened at the tips. — Ozothamnus glomeratus ,

NORTH and SOUTH Islands : from Mount Manaia, Whangarei, and Great Barrier Island to 

 Banks Peninsula. Sea-level to 2,000ft. Deo., Jan. 



9. H. lanceolatum, T. Kirk. A shrub with slender grooved branches, 

 2ft.— 4ft. high. Leaves narrow-lanceolate, IJin. long, acute, spathulate or 

 abruptly contracted into a short winged petiole, white with appressed cottony 

 tomentum beneath ; margins slightly waved, entire or obscurely crenate. Heads 

 in small lateral peduncled corymbs ; involucres and fruits as in the preceding. 

 Achene glabrous. — Ozothamnus lanceolatus. Buch. in Trans. N.Z.I, ii. (1869) 88. 



NORTH Island : Maungataniwha Hills, 2,000ft., Buchanan ! 



This plant is probably a variety of the preceding, differing only in the lanceolate leaves and 

 glabrous achenes. My specimens being very poor, I have copied the author's description. 



10. H, depressum, Benth. and Hook. /., I.e. Suberect or rarely pro- 

 strate ; the entire plant hoary with silver-grey tomentum. Branches distant, 

 rigid, divaricating, irregular ; branchlets usually numerous. Leaves jj^iii-^x^o™- 

 long, laxly imbricating, linear, obtuse, silky or woolly, concave and woolly above, 

 closely appressed to the branches. Heads solitary, terminal, sessile, Jin. long ; 

 involucral bracts linear-oblong, obtuse, glabrate or cottony at the base. Female 

 florets few, long and slender. Disk-florets trumpet-shaped. Achene puberulous 

 or glabrous. Pappus-hairs in several series. — Ozothamnus depressus. Hook, f., 

 Fl. N.Z. i. 134, t. 35b ; Handbk. 146. •
