Art. XXXVII.—Some Hitherto-unrecorded Plant-habitats (IV).
[Read before the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury, 4th November, 1908.]
Filices.
Trichomanes reniforme, Forst. f.
This is an extremely rare fern in Stewart Island. Kirk (Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. xvii, p. 230) gives Paterson Inlet and Half-moon Bay as its habitats, writing, “Restricted to a few square yards above high-water mark in each locality.” Mr. J. W. Murdoch informs me it occurs at Kaipipi Bay, Paterson Inlet.

Recorded by Kirk for Stewart Island only on Ulva. I have also noted it in a moist gully in the forest west of Half-moon Bay.

This is incorrect; but the Stewart Island plant is there referred, on the authority of Kirk, to H. crassifolia, Hook. f. The plant under consideration occurs on Mount Anglem, but is much more abundant on the flattish ground near the stream flowing into Crooked Reach, Port Pegasus.
