Hab. Lord Auckland Islands. New Zealand; on the banks of 

 the Waicaddie River. 



Specimens of what we take to be a variety of this? species (without 

 fructification) were collected by Dr. Silas Holmes, Surgeon of the Brig 

 Porpoise, on the Lord Auckland Islands. They are once or twice 

 branched, erect, rigid, and from 8 to 10 inches high ; the stems are 

 about the thickness of a crowquill, closely beset with long, linear, 

 coriaceous, obtuse leaves, having a revolute margin, and arranged in 

 a somewhat six-ranked manner.
