Art. XXVIII.—List of Phanerogamic Plants Indigenous in the Wellington Province. By B. C. Aston, F.I.C., F.C.S. [Read before the Wellington Philosophical Society, 5th October, 1910.] No list of Wellington indigenous flowering-plants has been published since Buchanan (Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 6, p. 210), in 1873, published his paper, “Notes on the Flora of the Province of Wellington.” In this he gives a list of all indigenous plants known to him, including the cryptogams. In Buchanan's time the flora of the alpine portion of the province was practically unknown, and some of the alpine species included in his list were wrongly identified. Owing to the researches of the late T. Kirk, who from time to time discovered several new species; T. F. Cheeseman (“Manual of the New Zealand Flora,” Wellington, 1906), who on three occasions visited the volcanic plateau; D. Petrie (“Visit to Mount Hector,” Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 40, 1907, p. 289); L. Cockayne (“Report of a Botanical Survey of Tongariro National Park,” Lands Department, Wellington, 1908); E. Phillips Turner (“Report of a Botanical Examination of the Higher Waimarino District,” Lands Department, Wellington, 1909); and the writer (“Botanical Notes on a Journey across the Tararuas,” Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 42, 1909, p. 13) the distribution of species has become better known, identifications have been corrected, new species have been described, and the ecology of certain districts has been worked out. Thus, though Buchanan enumerates only 476 species of phanerogams, the present list includes some 680, a fact which alone would warrant the publication of a revised list. Since this paper was read, the author, with Mr. J. S. Tennant, spent in January, 1911, a week exploring the Kaimanawa Mountains, lying to the south of the volcanic plateau. As a result of this visit it has been found necessary to widen the range in altitude of a number of species. It has, for instance, been quite common to find a plant growing 1,000 ft. above its accepted habitat, a fact which would point to the climate and soil conditions of that range being much more favourable to plant-life than those of mountains of the same altitude elsewhere in the province. The results of the Kaimanawa visit have been largely embodied in this paper. The land-boundaries of the Wellington Province as defined in a map kindly supplied to me by the Lands Department, Wellington, are as follows: A straight line is drawn from the mouth of the Patea River to Pipiriki, on the Wanganui River, which is the natural boundary from this point to the 39th parallel. Following the parallel eastward, the northern boundary stops at the Ahimanawa Range, a little to the west of the Township of Tarawera. From this point to the Manawatu Gorge the boundary runs south in almost a straight line through the Kaweka Range, but following at the southern end the axis of the Ruahine Range. From the Gorge the

boundary follows the Manawatu River eastward to its southernmost point, and then strikes off to the coast at the mouth of the Waimata River. Wellington Province consists of the country lying from the south of the boundary to the coast. The author has made full use of the information contained in the works of Cheeseman, Petrie, Cockayne, and Turner. Where a habitat has not been verified by the author the authority for its insertion has been given. For the rarer plants the actual habitat has been given. For those less common the type of country or altitude it inhabits is recorded. For the commonest merely the names and dates of flowering are stated. The names of the months refer to the dates of flowering, which have generally been verified by the author. The term “volcanoes” refers to the volcanic Map of Southern Part of North Island. (Dotted line shows the boundary of Wellington District.) plateau, including Ruapehu (9,175 ft.), Tongariro (6,458 ft.), and Ngauruhoe (7,515 ft.). In deference to the wishes of the Publication Committee, the trivial and Maori names of species have been omitted. Finality in any respect is, of course, impossible. The author merely wishes to place on record what is known of a flora which even in the socalled reserves is rapidly changing through the attacks of wild rabbits, pigs, horses, and cattle. It is hoped at some future date, when the northern and eastern portions of the province have been more fully explord, to correlate in some degree the quality of the soil with the quality of the flora. The author desires to thank Dr. D. Petrie and Mr. T. F. Cheeseman for their many kindnesses, especially in identifying plants and supplying dried specimens from their herbaria, and for much valuable information.
