1. L. Forsteri, DC. ; — FI. N. Z. i. 125. A small, glabrous pilose or 
hirsute, daisy-like, slender plant. Leaves with the slender petiole |-1£ in. 
long, blade £-1 in., obovate- or orbicular-oblong, obtuse, crenate toothed or 
lobed towards the base. Scape slender, 2-6 in. long, with few minute linear 
bracts, or 0. Head in. diam. ; involucral scales linear, acute, appressed, 
with hyaline margins, outer sometimes recurved ; rays very numerous, short, 
revolute. Acliene T j in. long, much compressed, edges thick, narrowed sud- 
denly into a short, hardly viscid beak. — Calendula purnila, Forster; Microca- 
calia australis, A. Rich. 
Abundant throughout the islands, Banks and Solander, etc. 
2. L. petiolata, Hook. f. FI. N. Z. i. 125. In all respects like L. 
Forsteri, but the heads are very much smaller, only A-A in. diam., with much 
fewer florets, smaller rays, and more viscid achenes. 
Common throughout the islands, ascending to 4000 ft. Kermadec Islands, M‘Gillivray. 
Auckland Island, Bolton. A variety, I suspect, of L. Forsteri. 
3. L. lanata, A. Cunn.;—Fl. N. Z. i. 126. Hirsute and tomentose. 
Leaves obovate or obovate-spathulate, narrowed into very short petioles, -§—1 
in. long, obtusely coarsely crenate-dentate. Scapes very slender, glabrous, 2-5 
in. long, naked. Heads as in L. petiolata, but achenes glabrous. 
Northern Island: Bay of Islands, etc., common on dry grassy hills. Very similar to 
L. ldrsuta, Prapp., of Chili. 
4. L. pinnatifida, Hook. f. FI. N. Z. i. 126. Hirsute. Leaves 2-4 
in. long, narrow obovate-oblong or spathulate, narrowed into long broad pe- 
tioles, deeply obtusely crenate-lobate or pinnatifld. Scapes 4-10 in. high, 
slender, pilose. Heads in. diam. ; involucral scales as in L. petiolata. 
Achene viscid. 
Northern Island : east coast, Colenso ; Auckland, Sinclair. diddle Island: Can- 
terbury, Sinclair and Haast ; Otago, Lindsay. Probably a form of the Australian L. Bil- 
lardieri. 
6. BEACHTCOME, Cass. 
Scapigerous, perennial small herbs. Leaves chiefly radical, spreading. — 
Heads with one series of rayed female, and numerous tubular hermaphrodite 
florets. Receptacle convex, naked, papillose. Involucral scales in 1 series, 
appressed, oblong-linear. Corolla of ray white blue or purplish, revolute ; of 
disk 5 -toothed. . Pappus of very short bristles or 0. Achene compressed, 
without beak. 
A large Australian and Tasmanian genus, closely allied to the European Daisy. 
Leaves all radical, entire or lobed. Scapes with 1 head 1 . B. Sincfairii. 
Leaves radical and cauline, lobulate. Heads terminating branches . . 2. B. odorata. 
Leaves all radical, pinuatifid. Scapes with 1 head 3. B. pinnata. 
I. B. Sinclairii, Hook. /., n. sp. More or less glandular or glabrate. 
Rhizome short, simple or branched, as thick as a crow-quill. Leaves all 
radical, 1-2 in. long, petioled, spathulate, round at the tip, entire lobed or 
subpinnatifid, coriaceous, nerveless. Scape solitary or several, strict, 2-10 
in. high, glandular ; bracts 0 or 1 or 2. Head £-1 in. diam., yellow with 
white ray ; involucral scales with or without a purple membranous jagged
