6. S. pallidum /Domin in Engl. Bot. Jahr. xl (1908) 580.—Pale-green, 
perfectly glabrous, smooth and shining. Rhizome creeping, leafy at the: 
joints, and emitting creeping stolons. Leaves numerous, crowded, 4-2 in.. 
diam., orbicular or reniform, usually flaccid and membranous, rarely sub- 
coriaceous, 3-foliolate or rarely 3-partite; leaflets obcuneate, 3-6-lobed 
at the tips; petioles slender, 1-3 in. long; stipules lacimiate. _Pedunceles. 
usually shorter than the leaves, either bearing a single terminal umbel 
with a 3-4-lobed leaf at its base, or with 2—3 long-stalked secondary umbels. 
springing from the base of the primary one; sometimes the secondary 
umbels develop 1-2 tertiary ones in like manner.. Umbels 4-12-flowered ; 
involucral leaves linear, obtuse. Pedicels longer than the linear-oblong 
obtusely 4-angled fruits ; carpels 5-ribbed.—Azorella pallida 7. Kirk Students”

7. S. Colensoi Domin in Engl. Bot. Jahr. xl (1908) 580.—Rhizome- 
creeping, furnished with rosulate leaves at the nodes, and often emitting 
numerous filiform stolons. Leaves small; petioles slender, glabrous, +-# in. 
long, furnished at the base with 2 adnate fimbriate stipules; laminae 
herbaceous, but barely membranous, glabrous or more commonly bearing 
a few 3-5-partite cilia; leaflets 3, rounded-cuneate, small, ;+;—+ in. long, 
the two lateral sometimes shorter and more deeply 2-lobed, with the lobes. 
obtuse, or all unequally 1-3-dentate, with the teeth subacute. Umbels 
simple, 6-10-flowered, long-peduncled ; peduncles considerably longer than 
the leaves. Involucral leaves narrow-linear, acuminate. Fruit small, 
obtusely prismatic-quadrangular. Carpels with 5 slender but conspicuous 
ribs.—Pozoa trifoliolata var. tripartita Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel. 1 (1853) 85 ;.

This has not been observed since it was originally discovered by Colenso more than 
75 years ago. Not having seen specimens, I have reproduced the main features of 
Domin’s description. Hooker referred it, as a variety, to S. trifoliolata ; but Domin, 
who has inspected the type specimens, considers that it is nearest to S. pallidum, from 
which it differs in the acuminate involucral leaves. 
8. S. Cockaynei .Cheesem. n. comb.—‘‘ A very small creeping herb, 
rooting at the nodes and emitting stolons, completely glabrous, perhaps an 
annual. Leaves simple, in small tufts; petiole }-41in. long; blade 4,-+ in. 
diam., ovate-elliptic or suborbicular, simple, entire, fleshy-coriaceous, obtuse 
or slightly emarginate ; margins not recurved. Cauline leaves opposite ; 
petioles shorter. Stipules triangular-ovate, about 4in. diam. Involucral 
leaves ovate, concave, unequal. Umbels 3—4-flowered; pedicels stout, 
about ;4,1n. long. Calyx after flowering pentagono-campanulate; teeth 
short, broadly triangular; petals minute, boat-shaped, deciduous.’’—Azorella 
Cockaynei Diels in Rep. Nov. Sp. Regni. Veg. vi (1908) 96; Cockayne in
