“Soutu Isnanp: Dun Mountain, Sinclair (leaves white below); Tarndale, Sinclair 
(leaves glabrous on both surfaces). Leaves more membranous than usual in the genus. 
I have only three specimens.”’ : 
I have reproduced Hooker’s description of this, for although I have gathered in 
several localities what I believe comes within its limitations I do not feel at all sure, 
in the absence of authentic specimens, that the identifications are correct. The 
species must evidently be placed close to C. discolor, differing mainly in the larger size, 
larger and broader much more membranous leaves, and much larger heads. If my 
conception of the species is correct, it is not uncommon in mountain districts from Nelson 
to Foveaux Strait.

A handsome plant, which forms huge masses on the faces of sea-cliffs. Mr. 
Kirk considered the inland localities to be based on some mistake; but, on the other 
hand, the late Mr. H. J. Matthews, whose knowledge of New Zealand plants in 
cultivation was unequalled, assured me that he could not trace any difference whatever 
between specimens brought from Lake Harris and others from the sea-coast near 
Nugget Point.
