2. C. robusta, Hook. /., n. sp. — C. acerosa, /3, lalifolia, FI. N. Z. i. 
163. A much larger and more robust plant than C ■ acerosa. Leaves spread- 
ing, | in. long, narrow linear-oblong, in. broad, subacute, not pungent, 
5-11 -nerved below, the outer nerves sometimes branching outward. 
Chatham Island, Dieffenbach and Herb. Mueller. I was at first disposed to refer this 
to a form of C. acerosa, but more specimens, received from Dr. Mueller, quite agreeing with 
Dieffenbach’s, and equally without the pungent tips to the leaves, seem to indicate its 
specific distinctness. I have seen no flowers ; the drupe is j in. diam. 
3. C. empetrifolia, IIoolc. f. FI. N. Z. i. 164. A small, procumbent, 
alpine, straggling plant, with slender, leafy, tomentose branches, 8-24 in. 
long. Leaves erect, spreading or recurved, -§— i in. long, linear, obtuse, gla- 
brous, pilose or pubescent, convex above, glaucous below ; margins recurved, 
ciliated; midrib stout; veins 0. Flowers minute, axillary or terminal, solitary 
or 2 or 3 together. Peduncle very short. Corolla-tube not longer than the 
calyx ; lobes glabrous, acute. Drupe 3-5-celled .—Androstoma empetrifolia, 
FI. Antarct. i. 44. t. 30. 
Common on the mountains of the Northern and Middle Islands, and of Lord 
Auckland's group and Campbell's Island. 
4. C. Colensoi, Hook. f. — Leucoporjon Colensoi, FI. N. Z. i. 165. 
Stems robust, prostrate, with erect or ascending, puberulous, leafy branches, 
4-10 in. high. Leaves erect or suberect, g- in. long, linear-oblong or ob- 
ovate-oblong, obtuse, glabrous, convex above, glaucous below, with 3 stout 
nerves, the outer branching towards the margin ; margins thin, cartilaginous 
or membranous, especially towards the tips. Flowers in short 3-5 -flowered 
racemes. Corolla-lobes bearded. Drupe white or red, 5 -celled. 
Northern Islaud : base of Tongariro, Lake Taupo, Buahine range, etc., Colenso. Middle 
Island: Gordon’s Nob and Fairfield Downs, Munro ; IV airau mountains, alt. 4-5500 ft., 
Travers ; Common on the Southern Alps, Haast ; Otago, lake district, alt. 2000 ft., Heel or 
and Buchanan. Intermediate between Cyathodes and Leucopngon in characters, but with 
the habit of the former genus, to which I have referred it, both on this account and be- 
cause of its extremely close affinity with C. Tamaiameice, Cham., of the Sandwich Islands ; 
it is also most closely allied to Leucopoyon suaveolens of the Borneo alps, which may be 
a Cyathodes. 
4. LEUCOPOGOW, Br. 
Shrubs, sometimes very small, or trees. Leaves imbricating or scattered, 
coriaceous, parallel-veined below, not sheathing at the base. Flowers solitary 
spiked or racemose, white or pink. — Pedicels with 2 or 3 bracts below the 
calyx. Corolla tubular, campanulate or funnel-shaped; lobes spreading, 
bearded. Ovary with 2-10 1-ovuled cells. Drupe with a bony 1-10-celled nut. 
Chiefly an Australian genus, but also found on the mountains of the Malayan and Pacific 
Islands. 
Leaves subw'horled, spreading. Flowers minute, spiked 1. L. fasciculatus. 
Leaves imbricate, with long pungent tips. Flowers solitary, large . . 2. L. Frazeri. 
1. L. fasciculatus, A. Rich. ; — FI. N. Z. i. 164. A large shrub or 
small tree, with slender, spreading, puberulous branchlets. Leaves somewhat 
whorled, patent, -J-l in. long, linear-lanceolate or oblong, obtuse or acuminate, 
flat, glabrous, striated above, glaucous and obscurely veined below ; margins
