XXXIV. AraliaceÆ

XXXIV. AraliaceÆ.

227 Aralia Lyallii.—This species, which was originally described as a Stilbocarpa by Armstrong, has been, with much reason, replaced in that genus by Harms (Engl, and Prantl, Pflanzeni. 3, viii. 57), but in a separate section, for which he proposes the name Kir kophy tum.
227 A. Lyallii var. robusta.—Mr. Justice Chapman, who has collected this on the Snares, informs me that it can be readily distinguished from the type by not possessing stolons, and by its larger size, leaves having been measured 28 in. in diameter.page 1140
228 Panax. — In Engler and Prantl's Pflanzenfamilien the whole of the New Zealand species are placed in Miquel's genus Nothopanax, a course indicated by Seemann as far back as 1866. But there is much confusion and no small diversity of opinion regarding the classification of the order, and most o the genera require careful re-examination. Until this has been done it seems inadvisable to alter the position of our species.
