petioles, and peduncle, and a much smaller, nearly glabrous one, with more coriaceous, 
usually 3-foliolate leaves. The species is apparently identical with a New Caledonian one. 
2. W. racemosa, Ford. ; — FI. N. Z. i. 80. A larger leaved, more coria- 
ceous plant than the preceding, glabrous, except the raceme ; flowers large ; 
leaves broader, 1-foliolate. Leaflets 1-3 in., oblong-ovate or -lanceolate or 
orbicular-ovate, obtuse, sinuate-serrate, very coriaceous, punctate beneath. 
Racemes numerous, stout, erect, very many-flowered. Flowers i in. diam. 
Capsules g in. long, sometimes 3-valved . — Leiospermum racemosum , Don. 
Middle and southern parts of the Northern Island, and throughout the Middle 
Island, Banks and Solander, etc. Very nearly allied to the preceding, and I once supposed 
a variety of it, but I now think them distinct. 
Order XXV. CRASSULACE.®. 
Succulent plants; the New Zealand species all very small, inconspicuous 
herbs. Leaves usually opposite, exstipulate. — Sepals 3 or more. Petals as 
many as the sepals. Stamens perigynous or almost liypogynous, as many as 
the petals or a multiple of them. Carpels as many as the sepals, free, each 
often with a scale at its outer base, 1 -celled ; style very short, or stigma 
sessile; ovules few or many, attached to the suture of the carpel. Seeds 
minute, albuminous ; embryo terete. 
A very large Order, to which Sedum and Crassula belong, especially abounding in South 
Africa and the southern parts of Europe. 
1. TILLiEA, Micheli. 
Small or minute, tufted, erect or procumbent herbs. Leaves small, opposite.

or without scales at the base. Fruit of 3-5 follicles, with few or many 
seeds. 
An inconsiderable genus, scattered over Europe and various parts of the world.
