31. O. angulata 7. Kirk in Trans. N.Z. Inst. xiii (1881) 384.—A much- 
branched shrub 8-12 ft. high; branches: short, spreading, grooved, almost 
hoary. Leaves alternate, 14-24 in. long, lin. broad, oblong or broadly 
elliptic, rounded at the apex, truncate at the base, shortly petioled, 
coriaceous, clothed with appressed white tomentum beneath; margins 
undulate. Panicles spreading, exceeding the leaves. Heads 4 in. long; 
involucral scales laxly imbricating; the lower farinose ; the upper linear, 
obtuse, ciliate or pubescent. Florets 3-5. Pappus-hairs unequal. Achenes 
strigose.—Students’ Fl. (1899) 273; Cheesem. Man. N.Z. Fl. (1906) 291. 
NortH Istanpd: Mongonui County— Coast at Reef Point and near Ahipara, 
1’. F. C., H. Carse! Not uncommon on cliffs from Tapotopoto Bay and Spirits Bay to 
the North Cape, 7. Kirk! T. F. C. April—May. 
This only differs from O. albida in the shorter and broader much more waved leaves, 
and, in my opinion, would be better treated as a form of that plant. f

_ 32. 0. avicenniaefolia, Hook. f. Handb. N.Z. Fl. (1864) 127.—A small

conspicuous on both surfaces; margins flat. Corymbs large, much- 
branched, long-peduncled, usually exceeding the leaves. Heads very 
numerous, small, §-$in. long, narrow; involucre cylindric; scales few, 
imbricate, glabrous or minutely pubescent. Florets 2 or 8, rarely 4; ray- 
florets 1 or rarely 2, sometimes wanting. Pappus-hairs in 1 series.
