Inserted on the authority of Sir F. von Mueller, though the plant 
from Lord Howe Island in the Kew Herbarium bearing this name 
is evidently the same as that referred to Z. ruderale in the Flora 
Australiensis. Z. foliosum is generally spread in extratropical Aus- 
tralia and in Tasmania.

The insular variety is an almost shrubby one, which is widely 
spread in Australia, and very different in appearance from that 
common in the northern hemisphere.

This is probably a variety of H. Banksii, R. Br., which would 
also include the New Zealand H. crassifolia , Hook, f., and Sir F. von 
Mueller has already united them. In this sense the geographical area 
of the species further includes Tasmania, South Australia, Victoria, 
and New South Wales.
