88 BRYOLOGY OF NEW ZEALAND. 
Kirkivi has been found in Tasmania ; in New Zealand I only know of 
three localities—Golden Bay, Nelson; Stewart Island; and Great Barrier 
Island. R. Brown’s specimen has no locality attached, ‘but it would appear 
to have been gathered, with C. bicolor, on Stewart Island.

described in Journ. Linn. Soc. (Bot.), xl, p. 438-42, at some length. 
C. appressifolius in this respect resembles C. clavatus very closely in

C. clavatus appears to seers mmon species in Australia, but may be rare 
in New Zealand. All the lant in R. Brown’s herbarium which I refer 
here were gathered in Stewart Island, except C. cylindrothecium. Of this 
there is no specimen so named; but a specimen of identical origin and 
date, ry C. scabridit, Bealey, coll. R. Brown, Feb., 1889,”’ is, I have no seek

C. insititius, where it is, usually at least, proiieat at or very near the base,

I have examined the type of C. Miiller’s C. persimplex, and have no 
hesitation in placing it here The plant referred by R. Brown ter. (Trans.

herbarium, C. insititius 
Until these plants have been — —— it is premature to attempt 
to indicate their distribution. I have seen several different gatherings of 
the present species, but all probably are . ne a somewhat limited area in 
the South Island. The original localities are, of course, in Tasmania.
