1. Coriaria ruscifolia, Linn. 



Hab. Bay of Islands, New Zealand : common. (In fruit.) 



The New Zealand plant, Coriaria sarmentosa of Forster, Dr. Hooker 

 has joined, apparently with good reason, to the Linusean C. ruscifolia, 

 of Chili and Peru. The baccate fructiferous perianth yields a pala- 

 table purple juice, which is much liked by the natives, and from which 

 a kind of wine may be made : but the seeds are poisonous, as they are 

 likewise in G. rnyrtifolia, of the south of Europe.

 Cook's River; a form with the rugose-reticulated cocci somewhat muri- 

 cate, and the leaves broader.
