L. linearis Petrie in Trans. N.Z. Inst. xxv (1893) 471 is Brachycome linearis Petrie. 
L. emphysopus Hook. f., an Australian species, has become naturalized on Banks Peninsula 
and near Wellington. It has the habit, fleshy roots, and hirsute leaves of L. lanata, 
but can at once be distinguished by the short stout scapes and almost tubular ray-florets.

1. L. pumila, Cheesem. in Subantarctic Is. N.Z. 1 (1909) 412.— 
A smal! daisy-like herb, either tufted or with creeping and rooting stolons 
furnished with tufts of radical leaves at the nodes. Leaves all radical or 
cauline, 14-2in. long; petiole long, slender; blade $-lin., orbicular or 
orbicular-oblong to obovate, obtuse, narrowed into the petiole, coarsely 
crenate-dentate or almost lobed, almost glabrous or more or less hirsute. 
Scape 1-6 in. long, slender, naked or with 1-3 minute linear bracts. Heads 
i+in. diam.; involucral bracts linear, acute; margins thin, scarious, 
entire or finely jagged. Ray-florets numerous; ligules white, revolute. 
Achenes small, linear-obovate, straight or very slightly curved, abruptly 
narrowed into a short hardly viscid beak ; margins thickened.—L. Forsteri

6. L. pinnatifida. 
A variable plant, very closely connected with the three following species. It is 
one of the few plants that range throughout the entire Dominion, from the Kermadec 
Islands southwards. The closely allied L. nudicaulis Dusén (L. Commersonii Cass.) 
represents the species in South America, ranging from Chile to the south of Fuegia and 
the Falkland Islands. 
2. L. petiolata Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel. i (1853) 125.—Habit of L. pumila 
but smaller and much more slender. Leaves usually radical, spreading, 
4-l$in. long; petiole slender, 4 the length or more; blade variable in 
shape, oblong to orbicular, sometimes broader than long, obtuse,. rather 
thin, acutely coarsely toothed with the teeth apiculate, more or less hairy 
on both surfaces, often purplish beneath. Scape very slender, strict, 2-6 in. 
long, usually hirsute. Heads small, 4-4 in. diam.; involucral bracts linear, 
acute, often purplish at the tips; margins scarious. Ray-florets numerous ; 
ligule very narrow, revolute. Achenes rather longer and more turgid than 
in L. pumila, linear-obovate, curved or falcate, slightly glandular above, 
narrowed into a rather long beak; margins thickened—Handb. N.Z. Fl.

NortH anp Sours Istanps, Stewart Istanp: Not uncommon from the Upper 
Thames and Waikato southwards, ascending to 4000 ft. November—January. 
Very closely allied to L. pumila, but separated by the more slender habit, smaller 
and thinner leaves, smaller heads with shorter and narrower rays, and longer and 
narrower curved achenes. 8 i;
