common; and Arid Island, to he north of the Great Barrier. 
From information received from fishermen and others, I have 
little doubt that it also exists on the Poor Knights and the Fanal 
Isles; but I have not seen specimens from thence. 
Fagus menziesii, Hook, f—Near Table Mountain (inland from 
the Thames), and on Te Aroha ‘J Adams). These habitats give 
a marked extension to the northern range of this species. 
Ascavina lucida, Hook, f.—Of very local occurrence on the 
Waitakerei Range, near Auckland. 
Phyllocladus glauca, Carr—Waitakerei Range; rare. With the 
exception of Hokianga, this is the only station yet known on 
the western side of the Island. 
Ptevostylis barbata, Lindl. (P. squamata, Hook, f., “ Handbook: 
N.Z. Flora,” now R. Br.)\—Bare clay hills, near Mercer, on the 
Waikato River. The only other locality certainly known is Kopu 
(Thames district). | | 
Funcus tenuis, Willd—Upper Maungatawhiri Valley ; banks of 
the Waikato,! near Rangiriri; near Ngaruawahia; between 
Hamilton and Cambridge ; Wangapeka Valley, Nelson. 
Funcus articulatus, L. var lamprocarpus.—Pumiceous deposits by 
the Waikato River, near Rangiriri. A few plants only were 
observed. 
Schenus nitens, Br—Waimarama, Hawke’s Bay (H. Tryon). 
Carex tevetiuscula, Good.—Ruataniwha Plains, Hawke’s Bay 
(H. Tryon). Swamps in the interior of Nelson Province, 
alt. 1000-3000 ft.; not uncommon (T.F.C.) 
Carex buchanani, Berggren.—Abundant in river valleys in the 
Nelson Provincial District. 
Carex dipsacea, Berggren—Mount Egmont Ranges, alt. 3000 
feet (H. Tryon). Plentiful in hilly and wooded districts in 
Nelson (T. F. Cheeseman). This and the two preceding species 
were accidentally omitted from my enumeration of Nelson 
plants, printed in “ Trans. N. Z. Inst.,” vol. 14. 
A pera avundinacea, Hook, f—Banks of the Wai-iti stream near 
Foxhill, and in the Wangapeka Valley, Nelson. Now con- 
sidered by Sir J. D. Hooker to belong to the genus Muhlenbergia. 
Mr. Bentham seems inclined to place it in Stipa, principally on 
account of its close resemblance to Stipa verticillata, Nees 
(Streptachne vamosissima, Trin.) See “Journ. Linn. Socy.,” 19, 
p. 81. 
Danthonia bromoides, Hook, f.—Sea-cliffs, Bay of Islands,’ 
Whangaroa, Doubtless Bay, &c.; abundant. Curiously enough, 
this species is not mentioned in Mr. Buchanan’s list of North 
Auckland plants (“ Trans.” 2, p. 239), or in Mr. Kirk’s list of 
additions (“ Trans.” 3, p. 166). 
_Gymnostichum gracile, Hook, f—Low grounds by the Thames 
River, Kopu, Keri-keri, Puriri, &c. Mr. Bentham, in his “ Notes 
on Graminee” (“ Journ. Linn. Society” 19, p. 134) remarks that q 
Willdenow’s name Asfrella has the priority over Gymmostichum. 
In future, therefore, our plant should bear the name of Aspvella 
gracilis, Benth,
