North Island: From the East Cape and Taupo southwards to Cook Strait, not uncommon. South Island: Has been recorded from several stations from Nelson to Otago, but I have seen no specimens which I can refer to it. Sea level to 4500 ft. December–March.

A distinct species, well marked by the large size, much-branched perennial habit, cuneate leaves narrowed into a distinct petiole, large pedicelled flowers, and long narrow capsule. There seems to be two main varieties—one tall and slender, with numerous leafy branches, narrow long-petioled leaves, and copious inflorescence; the other, which is principally montane or subalpine, and which page 554 corresponds to Colenso's E. tricolor, is not so much branched, the leaves are shorter and broader, on shorter petioles, and the flowers are spicate along the upper part of the branches. It might be distinguished as var. tricolor.

South Island: Not uncommon on the mountains of Nelson and Marlborough. Canterbury—Hurunui Mountains, Travers; Southern Alps, Sinclair and Haast (Handbook). 3000–5000 ft. December–March.

Very closely allied to E. cuneata, but a smaller much more sparingly branched plant, with close-set uniform leaves not obviously petiolate and with the margins recurved. It is also without the copious branched inflorescence of the typical state of E. cuneata, the flowers being few towards the tips of the branches. It should be mentioned that in both E. cuneata and E. Monroi it is only a part of the plant which is perennial, the flower-bearing branchlets perishing during winter, their places being taken by new shoots produced during the following season.

North Island: Mount Hikurangi, S. Dodgshun; Ruahine Mountains, Colenso! H. Hill! Petrie! Ruapehu, H. Hill! South Island: Not uncommon in mountain districts throughout. 2500–5500 ft. December–March.

An exceedingly variable plant, best distinguished from the two following by the different habit, much larger flowers and usually longer peduncles.

South Island: Canterbury and Westland—Arthur's Pass, Berggren, Kirk! Cockayne! T. F. C.; Kelly's Hill, Petrie! 3000–4500 ft. December–March.

The only species yet recognised in New Zealand with the flowers wholly yellow. Except in the colour of the flowers and in the larger corolla it hardly differs from some states of E. zealandica.

North Island: Ruahine Mountains, Colenso! Tryon! Olsen! Upper Wairarapa, Buchanan. South Island: Not uncommon in mountain districts throughout. 2000–6000 ft. December–March.

Distinguished from E. revoluta by the different habit, much more conspicuously toothed leaves, and much smaller flowers; from E. Cockayniana by page 556 the smaller flowers, which are never altogether yellow; and from E. Cheesemanii by the almost sessile flowers, shorter and narrower corolla, and especially by the numerous ovules.

South Island: Nelson—Mount Arthur Plateau and Mount Owen, T. F. C.; Mount Mantell and Brunner Range, W. Townson! 3500–5000 ft. December–February.

This has much of the appearance of E. zealandica, but can be distinguished by the longer peduncles, fruiting-calyx not conspicuously enlarged, longer and narrower corolla, and by the ovary having only 2 ovules in each cell.

South Island: Otago—Mount Kyeburn, Mount Buster, Petrie! summit of Maungatua, B. C. Aston! Stewart Island: Near Port Pegasus, Kirk! 500–4500 ft.

South Island: Otago—Bluff Island, Lyall; mouth of the Oreti River, Kirk!

A very remarkable little plant, distinguished from the preceding by the creeping and rooting habit, smaller remote 3-lobed leaves, longer and narrower flowers on longer peduncles, and shorter calyx-lobes.
