258. P. Totara. — Trank sometimes 10 ft. diameter. Hector and Buchanan 
consider the species of the west coast of Otago different from the eastern ; 
having dense foliage and more obtuse leaves, its trunk does not attain more 
than 2 ft. diameter. 
258. P. spicata. — Add syn. P. Matai, Lambert. Like P. ferrvginea, this is 
also called “ Black Pine ” in Otago, is the “ Mai ” or “ Matai ” of the 
Southern Island. Wood good, white, tough. 
258. P. dacrydioides. — Hector and Buchanan mention as “ Dacrydium ? ” 
the “ White Pine ” of Mataura, which differs from the “ Kahi-Katea ” of the 
‘ New Zealand Flora,’ in being a taller stronger tree, with upright foliage and 
bright-red berries. Elsewhere, the same observers remark that P. dacrydioides 
has two distinct varieties : — 
1. A tall tapering tree, common in the Northern Island. 
2. A dense round-headed tree, common near Dunedin, with the other. 
The remark in the ‘ Handbook ’ that Otago specimens have hard close 
wood arose from an error of Mr. Buchanan ; it should apply to 1). Colensoi. 
Colenso says the leaves of P. dacrydioides are certainly not used for eel baskets, 
but those of P. spicata may be. 
258. Dacrydium cupressinum. — Hector and Buchanan speak confidently 
of the west coast Otago D. cupressinum being different from that of the east 
coast, having bright-green plumose more upright branches drooping at the 
points. Wood close and heavy, like that of B. Colensoi. 
259. D. Colensoi.— Sounds and exposed islets of the west coast of Otago, 
Hector and Huclianan. Of this also there are two forms, a more slender 
western and stiffer-branched eastern. 
259. Phyllocladus trichomanoides. — Bark used to dye yellow in Otago. 
260. P. alpinus. — Begarded by Hector and Buchanan as a form of P. tricho- 
manoides. 
Class II. MONOCOTYLEDONS. 
Order I. ORCHIDEiE. 
262. Earina mueronata. — Chatham Island, W. Travers. 
267. Caladenia ? bifolia. — Referred to Chiloglottis (as C. Traversii) by 
Mueller in his ‘ Chatham Island Florida,’ and with much reason ; it differs 
slightly from that genus in the slender habit, less arched upper sepal, almost 
sessile lip, and small glands. It is certainly much nearer Chiloglottis than 
Caladenia , and on a revision of the former genus its character should probably 
be modified so as to admit it. 
Chatham Island, W. Travers. 
268. Pterostylis Banksii.— Chatham Island, a and /3, W. Travers. 
Order II. IRIDEiE. 
269. Libertia ixioides.— Chatham Island, W. Travers.
