Var. angustatum, Kirk, l.c. —Ultimate segments of the leaves narrower, ¼ in. wide or less, acicular points longer.

Auckland and Campbell Islands: Abundant in moist places throughout the group. December–January.

A noble species, said to occasionally reach the height of 6–8 ft.

Auckland and Campbell Islands, Antipodes Island: Abundant throughout the group, Sir J. D. Hooker, Kirk! December–January.

Almost as fine a plant as the preceding, which is its nearest ally, and from which it is easily separated by the finely divided leave with numerous linear segments.

The Snares: Not uncommon, Kirk! December.

My knowledge of this plant is derived from a single imperfect specimen in Mr. Kirk's herbarium, and in default of further information I have reproduced the description given in the "Students' Flora." It is evidently very close to L. intermedium, but according to Kirk can be distinguished by the ligulate petiole, acute segments of the leaves, smaller umbels and shorter fruits, and by the absence of viscid milky juice.

Var. oblongifolium, Kirk, l.c. —Leaves narrower, linear-oblong, seldom more than 2 in. broad; segments more numerous, crowded, narrow-linear, subacute.

South Island: Sounds of the south-west coast of Otago, from Martin's Bay to Preservation Inlet and Puysegur Point, Lyall, Buchanan! Kirk! G. M. Thomson! South-east coast at Catlin's River and the Nuggets, Petrie! Stewart Island: Not uncommon, Petrie! Kirk! Var. oblongifolium: Inland base of the Ruggedy Range, Kirk! December–January.

South Island: Sounds of the south-west coast, Lyall, Hector and Buchanan! G. M. Thomson! December–January.

This only differs from L. intermedium in the slightly larger size and more finely divided leaves, and might well be regarded as a variety.

South Island: Not uncommon in mountain districts from Nelson to Southland, especially within the influence of the western rainfall. 1500 ft. to nearly 5000 ft. December–January.

A handsome and graceful plant, easily recognised by the finely divided membranous leaves with hair-pointed lobes. Mr. Petrie sends a variety from Mount Tyndall with the lobes almost capillary, with much longer hair-points.

South Island: Canterbury—Upper Waitaki and head of Lake Hawea, Haast! Otago—Lake district, Hector and Buchanan! Kurow, Mount Ida, Cromwell, and other localities in eastern and central Otago, Petrie! 800- 3500 ft. December–January.

Closely related to L. Haastii, but a much smaller and more slender plant, with more sparingly divided leaves, smaller fruit, and shorter styles.

North Island: Mount Holdsworth and other high peaks of the Tararua Range, Buchanan! T. P. Arnold! W. Townson! December–February.

An imperfectly known species, perhaps more nearly allied to L. piliferum than to any other, but differing widely in the much more divided leaves.

South Island: Mountain districts from Cook Strait to the south of Canterbury, not uncommon. 1000–4500 ft. December–January.

South Island: Grassy slopes on Mount Arthur, Nelson, altitude 4000–5500 ft., T.F.C.; Mount Stokes, Marlborough, Macmahon! December–January.

Close to L. filifolium. but distinguished by the smaller size, more numerous leaves with copious divisions, differently shaped leaflets, and short flowering stems, which rarely exceed the leaves.

South Island: Bare shinge-slopes on the mountains of Nelson and Canterbury, not common. Wairau Gorge, T.F.C.; Mount Captain, Kirk! Lake page 220Tennyson, T.F.C.; Mount Torlesse, Haast! Petrie! T.F.C.; mountains by the upper and middle Waimakariri, Enys! Petrie! Cockayne! 3000–6000 ft. December–February.

A very remarkable plant, which cannot be confounded with any other found in New Zealand.

South Island: Canterbury—Limestone cliffs near Burke's Pass, J. B. Armstrong! Otago (?) Buchanan!

There is a fragmentary specimen of this species in Mr. Kirk's herbarium, and another (without locality) in Mr. Buchanan's. The material is far too incomplete to form the basis of a satisfactory diagnosis; and that given above will doubtless require amendment when a good series of specimens is obtained.

Var. a.—Leaflets broad, very coriaceous, usually deeply 3-lobed; the lobes broad, toothed.

Var. b, pinnatifidum, Kirk, l.c. — Leaflets longer and narrower, not so coriaceous, pinnatifidly cut into narrower lobes.

Var. incisum, Kirk, l.c. —Larger and more membranous, 12–20 in. high. Leaflets flabellate or rhomboid, 3-partite almost to the base; segments deeply incised, spreading.

Var. Ianuginosum, Kirk, l.c. — Leaf-segments tipped with copious long snow-white hairs, sometimes almost concealing the leaves.

South Island: High peaks from Nelson and Marlborough to Southland, not uncommon. 4000–6500 ft. January–February.

A very remarkable little plant, easily known by its small size, densely tufted habit, imbricated leaves, short peduncles sunk among the leaves, and broad fruit.

South Island: Canterbury—Limestone shingle in the Broken River basin, Enys! Kirk! T.F.C. Otago—Naseby, Petrie! 1500–2500 ft. December–January.

Stewart Island: Crevices of syenitic rocks near the South Cape, Kirk!

A very curious little plant, nearest to L. Enysii, but amply distinct. The 3-lobed partial involucre is quite unlike that of any other New Zealand species.
