The following species, included in Mr. Kirk's Catalogue of the Naturalized Plants of Auckland, should be altogether struck out of our lists:—

Fumaria parviflora, Lam. Mentioned in the “Flora of New Zealand,” vol. 2, p, 321. I believe that I am correct in stating that this has not been seen by any recent botanist.

Gypsophila tubulosa, Boiss. Included by Dr. Hooker in his list of naturalized plants, but is doubtless a true native.

Geranium molle, L. The same remarks apply.

Eutaxia strangeana, Turcz. Stated by its author to come from New Zealand, probably through some mistake. It will doubtless prove to be some well-known Australian plant.

Guilandina bonduc, L. Erroneously stated by Forster to come from New Zealand. See “Handbook,” p. 53.

Opuntia vulgaris, Mill. Recorded by Sir J. D. Hooker in the lists of naturalized plants appended to both the “Flora” and the “Handbook;” but must be expunged, as it never spreads out of cultivation in New Zealand.

Anthriscus cerefolium, Hoffm. “Handbook,” p. 759. Has not been noticed by any recent botanist.

Arnoseris pusilla, Gærtn. If this is the species meant by the name “Lapsana pusilla, L.,” quoted in the “Handbook, page, 760, the preceding remarks apply also.

Stylidium graminifolium, Swz. No specimens of this have been found in New Zealand since the solitary one obtained by the late General Bolton in 1851.

Epacris purpurascens, Br. Fl.N.Z., vol 2, p. 321. It appears preferable to regard this as indigenous.

Cynoglossum micranthum, Br. (?). “Handbook,” p. 197. No. species of this genus has been obtained in New Zealand of late years.

Solanum nigrum, L. “Handbook,” p. 761. Should be considered as indigenous.

" virginianum, L. Kirk, Trans., 2, p. 140. It appears to be quite uncertain what plant Linnœus had in view when he applied this name, which had much better be dropped. I have no idea what species Mr. Kirk had in mind.

Verbascum phœniceum, L. Kirk, Trans., 2, p. 141. Has not been seen in a naturalized state of late years.

Herpestes cuneifolia, Spr. Erroneously included in Raoul's list of New Zealand plants.

Veronica officinalis, L. I am not aware that this has been observed in a naturalized state in the Auckland district.

" anagallis, L. Should probably be looked upon as indigenous.

Phytolacca decandra, L. “Handbook,” p. 701. Introduced into the lists by mistake, as explained by Mr. Kirk (Trans. 2, p. 141.)

Polygonum aviculare, L. It is perhaps preferable to regard this species as indigenous.

" minus, L. “Handbook,” p. 761. Is certainly indigenous, if the variety decipiens is the plant meant; and I am not aware that any other form has been seen in New Zealand.
