Phyllocladus trichomanoides, which is plentiful at the north, from about 
35° south, (where it has been observed growing from the sea-side to 
1200 feet altitude,) has its southern limits at 394° south, in the 
mountains inland west from Hawke’s Bay. <Arthropodium cirrhatum, 
a common. littoral north plant, has its south limits at Cape Kidnappers, 
In 38° 50’ south. Zrichomanes elongatum, has not been met with south 
of the Thames. Lowsoma Cunninghamii, for a long time only found at 
one spot (the noted Kerikeri waterfall in the Bay of Islands,) has been 
also met with at Whangarei, and in the Coromandel ranges. Doodia 
caudata (or, media), so very common at the north, has not been seen 
south of the Thames, except in one locality near Napier ; which plant, 
however, may prove to be a distinct species. Gymnogramma lepto- 
phylla, plentiful near the head of Manukau Bay, has only been again 
met with at Ahuriri and Cape Kidnappers. Lygodium articulatum, 
a northern plant, has not been noticed south of the Kast Cape; and 
Schizea dichotoma appears to be wholly confined to the Dammara 
(Kauri) forests. 
(itit.) Plants found plentifully in the southern parts of the North 
Island, but rarely, if ever, extending north beyond the East Cape— 
Among’ these the following may be noticed :—LZleocarpus Hookerianus, 
extends north to Tolaga Bay ; Hypericum gramineum, from the coast 
to 600 feet altitude, has not been noticed north of Table Cape. Coriaria 
thymifolia, (several varieties), from the sea coast (Hawke’s Bay) to 4000 
feet, has not been generally met with north of Poverty Bay; but the 
very small leaved species, C’. angustissma, was found, in 1838, on Mount 
Hikurangi, East Cape, and, subsequently, near the summits of the 
Ruahine range, at an altitude of 4500 feet. Discaria Toumatou, a coast — 
plant, has not been detected north of Poverty Bay. Potentilla an- 
serina, and Geum Magellanicwm, extend from Cook’s Straits to the 
East Cape. Aciphylla squarrosa, found from the sea coast to 3500 feet 
altitude, has not been noticed north of 40° 30’ south.  Craspedia 
Jimbriata, several varieties, from the coast to 1000 feet, extends north to 
the East Cape. Microseris Forsteri, common near the coast, has its 
north limit about Poverty Bay; where, too, itis very plentiful. Taraa- 
acum Dens-leonis growing sparingly with the former, but often rising to 
much higher elevation of 3000 feet, has not been detected north of 
Tolaga Bay. Ourisia macrophylla, found plentifully at from 1500 to 8000 
feet, has not been seen north of Poverty Bay. Cualceolaria Sinclairii,
