AUDITIONS, CORRECTIONS, ETC. 
small, globose. Aclienes glabrous, turgid, not margined nor angled, with a 
slightly curved subulate style as long as the achene. 
Middle Island : Alps of Canterbury, Macaulay river, alt. 5000 ft. ; Waimakeriri dis- 
trict, on limestone-gravel and Mount Somers range, alt. 2-4000 ft., Haast . — A very re- 
markable species. 
6. R. serieophyllus. — Browning’s Pass, 5-7000 ft., Haast. 
6. It. Haastii. — Dr. Haast assures me that this is not at all a variable 
plant. On the other hand, Mr. Travers sends me a specimen from shingle 
beds, Saddle Hill, Wairau, alt. 5000 ft., with a 1-flowered scape ; it is in fruit 
only, and shows the remarkable flat-beaked achenes well. 
7. It. macropus. — Found at Tapaitoitoi, 300 miles N. of Poverty Bay, 
Kirk. 
8. It. gracilipes. — Dr. Hector informs me that this species has creeping 
stems. 
Order II. MAGN OLIACE7E. 
10. Drimys axillaris. — Both Colenso and Buchanan agree with Eaoul and 
others in considering there are two species of Driwys in New Zealand ; of 
these, the southern one, also found in mountain districts of the Northern 
Island, is D. colorata, Raoul, differing according to Buchanan, especially in 
the leaves being hardly coriaceous, green on both surfaces, and not glaucous 
nor spotted, in the midrib not hairy, in the flowers more abundant, in the 
long peduncles, and in the bark being pale, not black-brown. 
Order III. CRUCIFERS. 
10. In the ordinal character, for Stamens ... 2 longer than the others, read 
shorter. 
13. Braya novse-Zelandiae. — I have received better specimens of this 
from Dr. Hector ; the pod is laterally much compressed, aud the plant evi- 
dently closely allied to Notothlaspi, but differs in the valves not being winged, 
and in the short fuuicles. Considering its very curious habit, I think it 
should be regarded as a new genus and called Pachycladon in reference to the 
remarkably stout branches of the rhizome or stock. 
5. PACHYCLADON, .Hook. f. 
Pod laterally compressed, elliptic or linear-oblong ; valves convex, subcym- 
biform, keeled, not winged ; nerves very obscure ; septum incomplete ; style 
very short; stigma capitate, 2-lobed. Seeds 3-5 in each cell, obovoid; 
funicles short ; cotyledones incumbent. 
1. P. novse-Zelandise. — Braya novce-Zelandice, p. 13. 
15. Notothlaspi rosulatum. — Smells deliciously of orange-blossoms, 
Haast. 
Order IV. VIOLARIEJE. 
18. Hymenanthera crassifolia. — Banks’s Peninsula, Haast. Chatham
