Subsp. B. luteo-limbatum Broth. in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xli, 589 
(1916). 
From the retest Yeti this appears to differ from B. chrysoneuron in 
the bic being borde by three rows of yellowish, narrow cells. It 
would appear to bear aac the same pate hs to B. chrysoneuron that 
B. marginatum Mitt. does to B. erythrocarpum; and I have thought it 
best to treat it as a subspecies. Unfortunately, I have been unable to 
study the plant; Dr. Brotherus informs me that his single oo was 
used for the diagnosis, and the small tuft which he kindly sent me belongs 
indubitably to B. curvicollum, and cannot therefore be the plant described. 
It was collected near Auckland by D. Petrie.

A very beautiful and distinct species, as the absence of synonymy 
indicates. It forms deep, dense tufts, sometimes 3-4 in. high, of a bright- 
reddi i 1 i 
suberect, little altered when dry, oblo very obtuse, with the nerve 
ceasing just below the apex; the border erect, the cells rather wide, with 
broad border of extremely narrow ones. 
It is a plant of marshy ground, a uncommon, and known from 
Campbell Island, and also from Tasmani
