Norta Istanp: From the North Cape southwards to the Bay of Islands and 
Whangarei, not uncommon. Sea-level to 1000 ft. November-—January. Appa- 
rently endemic. 
Schindler has pointed out that this plant is distinct from the Australian 
H. tetragyna, with which it was united by Hooker. On comparing it with Australian 
specimens, I find that it differs in the smaller size, shorter and less pointed leaves 
with fewer serratures, and in the larger and narrower fruit. Schindler proposes to adopt 
Buchanan’s name of H. aggregata. But Buchanan’s plant, of which I hold some of the 
type specimens, is referable to H. depressa, of which it has the habit, foliage, and 
distinctive fruit. And, in addition, there is an older name of H. incana Walp., which 
I have consequently adopted.
