OLEARIA INSIGNIS. 
Mountain Daisy. 
A VERY robust and remarkable species, the stems and leaves are densely covered 
with thick tomentum or hairs. This plate was drawn from a specimen sent by 
post ; the leaves are therefore too close together and the flowers not sufficiently 
upright, but I was not able to obtain another specimen. It grows very large in 
the Awatere Valley and banks of the Waihopai. It approaches some Australian 
species in habit, size, and other respects. It flowers in November. Awatere.
