Hab. New Zealand, vicinity of the Bay of Islands. 



This graceful species inhabits elevated, and open places on the 

 margins of forests, forming dense masses, through which it is often 

 very difficult for the traveller to force his way, owing to its wiry 

 stems becoming entangled among the neighbouring bushes. 



In Hooker's Botanical Miscellany this is said to be also a native of 

 the Sandwich and Society Islands ; but we have some doubts with 

 regard to its ever having been found at the Sandwich Islands.
