concurred with me as to the specific distinctness of the two forms.

It thus becomes necessary to restrict Hooker's name to one or other of the two plants involved. His use of the term “glabrous” before “hoary” or “white below” in the published description suggests my selection of the Tarndale plant as the lectotype of the species, notwithstanding that in citing the localities Hooker refers to Dun Mt. before Tarndale. I understand that Dr. Summerhayes, in a letter to Dr. Cockayne, had expressed similar views. This restriction has the effect of making the Canterbury Museum specimen a co-type of the species. Curiously enough, there is not a single specimen of Celmisia Sinclairii as defined below in any herbarium or garden in New Zealand, albeit it is quite a common plant within its circle of distribution.
