Art. XXXV.—Supplement to List of Flowering-plants indigenous to Otago. By D. Petrie B M.A., F.L.S [Read before the Auckland Institute, 3rd August, 1896.] Through the kindness of various correspondents my attention has been drawn to a number of accidental omissions from the list of flowering-plants indigenous to Otago which was published in vol. xxviii. of the “Transactions of the New Zealand Institute.” I now submit a list of the species omitted, together with corrections of two errors in the identification of species:—

Drosera Pygmæa, DC.—Bluff Hill; collected by T. Kirk and B. C. Aston. Corokia Cotoneaster, Raoul.—Not uncommon in the E., S., and C. Dunedin; Otepopo; Kaitangata and up Clutha Valley to head of lakes; Tapanui; Te Anau; Bluff. Teucridium Parvifolium, Hook, f.—Near Oamaru; Otepopo; Bendigo and Queensberry (in gullies); Balclutha. A rare and local plant. Lemna Minor, L.—Common in still, fresh waters. Triglochin Triandrum, Michaux.—Common in wet grounds near the sea. Trigloghin Palustre, L.—Near Black's, in a small boggy spot. Potamogeton Polygonifolius, Pourr.—Catlin's; Waipahi. Potamogeton Pectinatus, L. — Lake Waihola, and still waters of Taieri Plain. Potamogeton Ochreatus, Raoul.— Waipahi River. Potamogeton Cheesemanii, Bennett. — Common in most parts of the district. Cordyline Indivisa, Hook. f.—Mr. H. J. Matthews informs me that this is plentiful at Dusky Sound. Utricularia Monanthos, Hook, f., should appear instead of U. colensoi on page 571;* Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. xxviii. and Epilobium Elegans, sp. nov., instead of E. gracilipes, T Kirk, on page 551. My thanks are due to Mr. Kirk for a specimen of his E. gracilipes, which has enabled me to detect my mistake in identifying my plant with his.
