LIII. SCROPHULARINE2E. 
[Euphrasia. 
in. long, pink purplish or yellowish; tube slender, funnel-shaped; lobes ob- 
ovate, upper notched. Anthers pilose, mucrouate, spurs of the posterior pair 
unequal. Capsule -j in. long, linear-clavate. 
Northern Island : from the East Cape, southward, Banks and Solander, etc. Middle 
Island : common throughout. A very variable plant, allied to the Australian E. collina. 
2. E. Munroi, Hook. /., n. sp. A short, erect, perennial (?), leafy 
species, 3-6 in. high, glabrous or minutely glandular and pubescent ; branches 
ascending, leafy. Leaves rather crowded, spreading and recurved, A— § in. 
long, sessile, broadly ovate-oblong or spathulate, obtuse, very coriaceous ; mar- 
gins recurved, thick, sparingly crenate. Flowers few, chiefly at the ends of 
the branches, very shortly peduncled. Calyx sometimes 2-lipped, lips erect, 
one 3-lobed the other 2-lobed or entire ; lobes obtuse, short, with revolute 
edges. Corolla ^ in. long ; tube short, funnel-shaped ; lobes short, refuse. 
Anthers hairy, anterior pair with 2 obtuse or shortly mucronate cells, posterior 
with i cell spurred, the other obtuse or acute. Capsule broadly oblong, 
refuse. 
Middle Island: abundant ou the alps, Dun mountain, Munro ; Hurumui range and 
Discovery Peak, alt. 3500-5000 ft., Travers ; Southern Alps, Sinclair and Haast. I fear 
that this may prove nothing but an alpine state of E. cuneata, but it looks very different. 
It is very near iudeed to the Tasmanian E. alpina. 
3. E. revoluta, Hook. f. FI. N. Z. i. 199. A small, much branched, 
slender annual, 1-2 in. high, almost prostrate, sometimes tufted, glandular 
pubescent or glabrate. Leaves -A-i in. long, obovate-spathulate, sessile, 
obtuse, crenate or lobed ; margins strongly recurved. Flowers solitary or 
very few at the ends of the branches ; peduncles shorter or longer than the 
leaves. Calyx shortly 4-lobed ; lobes obtuse ; margins recurved. Corolla 
nearly ^ in. long, and as much in diameter. Anthers nearly glabrous. Cells 
all shortly mucronate, those of the posterior pair unequally. Capsule small, 
broad, oblong, obtuse, retuse. 
Northern Island : summit of the Ruahine range, Colenso. Middle Islands: Nelson 
mountains, alt. 5500 ft., Travers ; Mount Brewster, Haast ; Otago, lake district, alpine, 
forming patches, alt. 6300 ft., Hector and Buchanan ; Dusky Bay, Lyall (leaves deeply 
cut). A very different-looking plant from E. Munroi, small, stout or slender, much branched, 
tufted or straggling, but some specimens are difficult to distinguish. The habit is that of 
E. antarctica. The flowers seem variable as to colour. Very near the Chilian E. sub- 
exserta. 
4. E. antarctica, Benth.; — FI. N. Z. i. 199. A small, slender, rarely 
robust, much branched, glabrous or glandular, puberulous annual, 1-2 in. 
high. Leaves sessile or very shortly petioled, in. long, deeply lobed 
or subpinnatifid, ovate or obovate ; lobes obtuse ; margins recurved. Flowers 
small, sessile or shortly peduncled, numerous towards the ends of the branches 
or solitary, often amongst crowded subterminal leaves. Calyx oblong ; lobes 
very short, obtuse. Corolla in. long; upper lip short, arched ; lobes 
short. Anther-cells all nearly glabrous and mucronate. Capsule broadly 
obovate-oblong, retuse. 
Northern Island: summit of the Ruahine range, Colenso. Middle Island: abundant 
on all the alps, from 2-6000 ft. elevation, Munro , Lyall , Travers, Sinclair, Haast, Hector 
and Buchanan , etc. Hector traces three forms, corresponding to as many zones of elevation
