Order XXVII. HALORAGEiE. 
64. In the Key to the genera of Haloragece, in the second line, for stigmas 
read style. 
68. Callitriche verna. — This is the form or species called C. stagnalis, 
Scopoli (0. platycarpa, Kuetzing), and is C. verna (3, of Linnaeus, distin- 
guished by the broad thick wings of the fruit, and broad short leaves. 
Order XXVIII. MYRTACEiE. 
70. Leptospermum ericoides. — Mr. Kirk sends a remarkable variety? of 
this species, with silky branchlets, and differing greatly in size and habit 
from L. ericoides, which grows near it. The species of this genus are, how- 
ever, so variable that I do not venture to make a new one of this. He thus 
describes it : — 
“Young leaves and branches more or less pubescent. Leaves sessile, 
scattered and fascicled, linear-lanceolate, margins recurved, pungent, much 
dotted. Flowers minute, sessile or shortly peduncled. Petals much crumpled. 
Capsules very small, with persistent calyx-lobes.” 
Northern Island: Apatawapa and Coxe’s Creek, Kirk. 
71. Metrosideros lucida. — Often attains the size of a large tree, Hector. 
74. Myrtus peduneulata and M. obeordata. — Both abundant in Otago, 
Hector and Buchanan, etc. 
Order XXIX. ONAGRARIEiE. 
75. FUCHSIA. 
There are three tolerably distinct forms or species of the genus in New 
Zealand, which may be thus distinguished : — 
Petioles shorter than the leaves. Stamens as long or longer than the 
calyx-lobes 1. F. excorticata. 
Petioles as long as or longer than the leaves. 
Stems procumbent, filiform. Stamens shorter than the calyx-lobes 2. F. procumbens. 
Stems branching low, woody. Stamens as long as or longer than 
the calyx-lobes 3. F. Colensoi. 
Of these, F. excorticata forms a tree with ovate-lanceolate leaves, 
silvery below. Flowers f-1^ in. long. It is common throughout the 
Island. 
F. procumbens is very slender, creeping or prostrate. Leaves rounded- 
ovate or -cordate. Flowers not in. long. I have it from the Northern 
Island, A. Cunningham and Colenso. 
F. Colensoi is intermediate in size. Leaves very variable, ovate orbi- 
cular or cordate. Flowers as large as in F. excorticata. — Northern Island, 
Colenso. Middle Island, common, Canterbury plains, Travers ; Otago, Lindsay, 
Hector. 
81. Epilobium pallidiflorum. — E. tetragonum, F. Mueller, Veg. Chatham 
Island. Chatham Island, W. Travers.
