SENECIO HECTORI, Buck 
A BRANCHED, woody shrub, 6 to 12 ft. high. This remarkable addition to 
the flora of New Zealand was collected by Dr. Hector on the Buller River, Nelson 
Province, 1872. The magnificent floral display of this species and others, such as 
S. glastifolius, with similar white rayed flowers, can only be seen to advantage 
in their natural humid habitats. It also grows between the river Mangles and 
the Tuangahua, and inland from Collinwood. {Buch). It flowers in January. 
These two Senecios were drawn and kindly contributed by Mr. John Buchanan, 
Geological Survey of New Zealand, by whom they have been already figured 
in Trans. New Zealand Institute. 
SENECIO ROBUSTA, Buck 
A SMALL woody shrub ; branches covered with scales, formed by the sheathing 
cases of the old petioles. Allied to S. monroi and S. longifolia, but differing 
very much from both in habit of growth, very coriaceus leaves, with peculiar 
venation, and small robust coryrubs of few large heads of flowers. Trans. New 
Zealand Institute. Also drawn and contributed by Mr. John Buchanan, Geological 
Survey of New Zealand.
