LILIACEAE. 
Asphodelus fistulosus Linn. Sp. Plant. 309. North and South Islands: Now not 
uncommon in many localities from Mangonui and Kaitaia southwards to the 
Bluff, froni whence I have specimens collected by B. C. Aston. Dr. H. H. Allan 
reports it as plentiful at Oamaru. (South Europe; West Asia; North Africa.) 
Aloe lutifolia Haw. Syn. Pl. Succ. 82. North Island: A garden escape in the vicinity 
of Auckland. Still lingers in the original station in which I observed it in 1882, 
but has not increased its range. (South Africa.) 
Allium vineale Linn. Sp. Plant. 299; Hook. f. Student’s Fl. 405. Crow-garlic. North 
Island: Once very common in abandoned Maori cultivations and sandy flats near 
the sea, but now becoming scarce. (Europe; North Africa.) 
Asparagus officinalis Linn. Sp. Plant. 313; Hook. f. Student’s Fl. 403. Asparagus. 
North Island: Waste places, not common. Usually solitary plants are seen, 
doubtless originating from seeds conveyed from gardens by birds. (Europe; North 
Asia ; North Africa.) 
AMARYLLIDACEAE. 
Agave americana Linn. Sp. Plant. 323; Baker Amaryll. 180. American Aloe. North 
Island: Occasionally seen as a garden escape from Mangonui and the Bay of 
Isiands southwards to Auckland, more rarely to Taranaki and Wellington. Old 
plants produce a multitude of suckers, and the species thus maintains itself in 
several localities. (Tropical America.) 
TRIDACEAE. 
Iris germanica Linn. Sp. Plant. 38; Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 670. Common Iris. North 
Island: A frequent garden escape. (Europe.) 
Tris pseud-acorus Linn. Sp. Plant. 38; Hook. f. Student’s Fl. 397. Yellow Flag. North 
and South Islands: An occasional garden escape, but local. Mount Egmont 
Ranges, S. Percy Smith! Hutt Valley and vicinity of Nelson, 7. Kirk. (Europe ; 
West Asia.) 
Sisyrinchium chilense Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 2786. North and South Islands; Fields 
and waste places from Auckland to Otago, local. (South America.) 
Sisyrinchium micranthum Cay. Diss. vi, 345, t. 191; Benth. Fl. Austral. vi, 412. 
North Island: Sandy shores of Spirits Bay, North Cape district, 7. F.C. (South 
America. ) 
Antholyza aethiopica Linn. Syst. ed. x, 863. North Island: A common garden escape 
in the vicinity of Auckland. (South Africa.) 
CANNACEAER. 
Canna indica Tinn. Sp. Plant. 1. Indian Shot, North Island: An occasional garden 
escape in the vicinity of Auckland. (Now established in all warm climates.) 
SALICACEAE, . 
Salix babylonica Linn. Sp. Plant. 1017: Anderss. in DC. Prodr. xvi, 2, 212. Weeping- 
willow. North Island: Copiously naturalized on the banks of the Northern 
Wairoa, Waikato, and other streams, doubtless from twigs and branches carried 
down the rivers by floods from a few planted trees. 
Salix fragilis Linn. Sp. Plant. 1017; Hook. f. Student’s Fl. 371. Crack-willow. 
North and South Islands: Like the above species, abundantly naturalized on 
the banks of the larger rivers. (Europe; North and West Asia.) 
Salix alba Linn. Sp. Plant. 1021. | Both these species are occasionally seen with the 
Salix caprea Linn. Sp. Plant. 1020. f two preceding. 
BETULACEAK, 
Alnus glutinosa Medic. Pfl. Anat. 393; Hook. f. Student’s Fl. 366. Common Alder. 
North Island: Occasionally seen on the banks of the Waikato River between 
Huntly and the mouth of the river; no doubt originating from seeds or branchlets 
drifted from the old mission-station at Taupiri. (Europe ; North Asia.) 
MORACEAE. 
Ficus Carica Linn. Sp. Plant. 1059. Common Fig. North Island: Often linvers for 
a considerable time in deserted orchards, but is scarcely naturalized. (South 
Europe ; West Asia, North Africa.)

occasional escape from cultivation as far south as Nelson. (Europe ; North Asia ; 
North America.)
