On sandy ground near the sea abundant in Chatham-Island, 

 rare in Pitt-Island. 



Mr. Travers found this Leucopogon in flower, and so far the 

 Chatham-plant accords precisely with the Australian species. The 

 fruit however still remains to be compared. 



This is one of the few plants common to Australia and the 

 Chatham-group, yet not known as existing in New Zealand.
