 FLORA ANTARCTICA.

ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA. PART I. p. 8. Drosera sp. — I have examined a specimen of this plant, collected by one of the officers of Admiral D'Urville's expedition, and by him given to my friend Mr. Gunn of Tasmania. It is certainly very nearly allied to the D. uniflora of Cape Horn, but differs from that and from all its congeners in the perigynous insertion of the stamina.

p. 10. Epilobium confertifolium. — Mr. Watson has given me cultivated specimens of E. alpinum, entirely according in habit and foliage with this plant.

p. 10. Ac^na adscendens. — The Kerguelen's Land species differs from this, see Pt. 2. p. 268. t. 96 B.

p. 14. Colobanthus subulatus. — For an explanation of the monstrous appearance of the flowers alluded to, see Pt. 2. p. 248.

p. 19. Aralia polaris. — For analysis of the flowers, &c., see Hook. Ic. Plant, t. 747.

p. 22. Coprosma repens. — I have, since the publication of this species, received from Mr. Gunn fruiting specimens of the Tasmanian plant included under this, and figured at Pt. I.

p. 16 B. In them the berry has but two nucules; and I am obliged to regard it as a distinct species, to which the name of C.pumila has been given.

p. 30. Helichrysum prostration : — This is the true H. bellidioides of Forster, though not of Banks and Solander (Hb. Banks) : in its prostrate straggling habit it resembles a Cape species.

p. 32. Pleurophyllum criniferum. — I have observed the same rigid setae amongst the tomentum of the foliage in this plant as exist in the P. speciosum.

p. 37. To notes upon Cet,mista vemicosa, add: — The generic distinction between this genus and CMliotrichum rests on the presence of scales on the receptacle of the latter.

p. 37. Of the two Composites alluded to as " dubii generis" I have had the opportunity of examining specimens, they are

1. GnaphjLLIUM luteo-alhum, Liim.

This abounds throughout New Zealand, from the Bay of Islands to Stewart's Island in the extreme south : I have seen Auckland Island specimens collected by the French Antarctic Expedition, with which Dr. Lyall's ban'en ones entirely accord.

2. Etjrybia (Brachyglossa) Lijallli, Hook, fil.; foliis amplis altemis breviter petiolatis elliptico-ovatis obovatisve acutis plerumque argute subduplicato-dentatis coriaceis super glaberrimis venosis
