XXXVII. Compositae. Olearia nitida Hook. f. var. angustifolia Cheesem. Not uncommon in the vicinity of the Ngakawau River, to the north of Westport; P. G. Morgan! I have also received from Mr. Morgan a form almost intermediate between var. angustifolia and the type. collected at Seddonville, near the Mokihinui River. Olearia virgata Hook. f. Attains a height of 25 ft. in the Marikopa Valley, south of Kawhia; E. Phillips Turner! This is the most northerly locality yet recorded on the west coast of the North Island, but on the eastern side it advances as far as the Ohinemuri Gorge. Olearia Solandri Hook. f. Motuara Island, Queen Charlotte Sound; J. H. Macmahon! Celmisia rupestris Cheesem. Mount Aorere, north-west Nelson; F. R. Gibbs! A slight northwards extension of the range of this local species, which I discovered on Mount Peel, Nelson, in 1881. Gnaphalium subrigidum Col. Tinui, inland from Castle Point; J. S. Tennant! Cape Turnagain and the Puketoi Range; B. C. Aston! Makuri Gorge, west of Puketoi; E. Phillips Turner! I do not know of any previously published records for the eastern side of the Wellington Provincial District, but probably it will be found to be not uncommon in open rocky places. Senecio glaucophyllus Cheesem. I have to thank Mr. F. R. Gibbs for a fresh supply of specimens of this interesting species, obtained in the locality where it was originally discovered by myself in 1886, among limestone rocks in a ravine on the northern face of Mount Arthur, Nelson. It has not yet been seen elsewhere. XLIII. Epacridaceae. Archeria racemosa Hook. f. Plentiful on Whanakao Mountain, near Hikurangi, East Cape district; also at the head of the Keru Stream, which enters the sea near Te Kaha, descending as low as 250 ft. above sea-level; Mr. Sherwood. XLV. Myrsinaceae. Myrsine chathamica F. Muell. On one of the “mutton-bird” islands between Stewart Island and the Bluff; H. Guthrie-Smith! Dr. Cockayne quotes only the two localities of Wilson Bay and Old Neck, so far as Stewart Island is concerned. Myrsine nummularia Hook. f.
