Family Ranunculaceae.

Clematis indivisa Willd. [J. B. A.; L. C.]

At one time common in the forest; now much less so.

C. hexasepala Forst. is recorded by J. B. A. and T. K., but does not occur. A specimen labelled C. hexasepala and collected by T. Kirk at Governor's Bay is in the collection at the Canterbury Museum, but, as pointed out on the sheet by L. C., is merely a well-grown plant of C. foetida.

*Clematis Colensoi Hook. f. [J. B. A.]

Price's Bush, near Birdling's Flat: S. Page! W. Martin.

Clematis foetida Raoul. [R.; J. F. A.; J. B. A.; L. C.]

Everywhere common in the forest, and in Birdling's Bush forming stems which rival those of C. indivisa in diameter. (Akaroa is the type-locality.)

(²)C. parviflora is also recorded by J. B. A., but I have not seen it, and doubt its occurrence.

Clematis afoliata Buch. [J. B. A.; L. C.]

Not uncommon on the sea-coast, and occasionally on the drier cliffs up to 1,500 ft. At Sumner it is becoming more abundant.

C. marata is not uncommon on the sand-dunes at New Brighton, but is probably not to be found on the peninsula.

Ranunculus hirtus Banks & Sol. [J. B. A.; L. C.]

Common in the tussock country.

Ranunculus lappaceus Smith var. multiscapus Hook. f. [J. F. A.; J. B. A.; L. C.]

Common in open country.

Ranunculus rivularis Banks & Sol. var. subfluitans Benth.

Pond, Cashmere Hills.

J. F. A. and J. B. A. record also (²)R. pinguis, an Auckland Island plant, and J. F. A. gives (²)R. macropus.
