Besides the above, various other Stictce are enumerated in the ‘ New Zealand Flora ’ 
which are not confirmed by Nylander, as S. Mougeotiana, a tropical species, stated to be 
found by D’Urville ; S.fu/iginosa, Ach., and S. limbata, Ach., both Northern species, to 
which imperfect specimen of New Zealand plants were referred by Taylor or Babington, with 
more or less doubt. I do not find in Nylander’s Synopsis S. cinnamomea, A. Rich. (FI. 
N. Z. 28. t. 8. f. 3) doubtfully referred by Babington to S. fragillima, /3. glaberrima.
