Metrosideros Colensoi Hook. f. Limestone cliffs near Little Totara River, and Mokihinui River, near the mouth. Hydrocotyle tripartita R. Br. Sand-banks of Mokihinui River, near the mouth. Panax anomalum Hook. On edge of bush at Mount Rochfort, and near Addison's Flat. Coprosma tenuicaulis Hook. f. Common on wet alluvial flats near West-port, and in similar positions throughout the district. Olearia capillaris Buchanan. Sources of Nile River, Western Paparoas; J. A. Bartrum! Celmisia Morgani Cheeseman sp. nov. (ante, p. 21). Shaded slopes in bush near mouth of Ngakawau River, Blackwater River, and Buller Gorge near the same. Celmisia semicordata sp. nov. (post, p. 33). Charleston, near sea-level; common above the bush-line on the Buckland Peaks. Raoulia eximia Hook. f. Top of Mount Rochfort; common on shingly slopes of Buckland Peaks, at 3,000–4,000 ft. Phyllachne Colensoi Bergg. Wet spots on the higher parts of the Buck-land Peaks. Gentiana vernicosa Cheeseman, var. Mr. Townson referred this plant to G. Townsoni Cheeseman. It seems much nearer to G. vernicosa, though my specimens are seldom branched and hardly match the typical form, which Mr. Cheeseman has kindly lent me for comparison. G. Townsoni may not occur at all on the Buckland Peaks, and is, in any case, very rare there. Calystegia tuguriorum R. Br. Common on alluvial flats near Westport. Limosella tenuifolia Nutt.

Schoenus nitens Poir. North branch of Westport Harbour. Carex subdola Boott. Fairly common in swampy open stations about Westport. Carex uncifolia Cheeseman. Wet ridges near tops of Buckland Peaks. The specimens were in poor condition, but they no doubt belong here. Carex Buchanani Bergg. Buller Flats, south of the staiths, Westport. Carex Gibbsii sp. nov. Open swampy flats at Cedar Creek (near Denniaton), 1,760ft.
