Cacaulis daucoides Linn. Hen's foot. This species recorded by Allan (1935, p. 6) should be expunged from the naturalized flora, since the specimens cited for Ashburton belong to an indigenous species, Daucus glochidiatus (Labill.) Fischer, Meyer et Lallemand (D. brachiatus Sieb.)

* Sison amomum Linn. Bastard stone parsley. (Western Europe: Mediterranean region.) Established on roadsides and in hedgerows, Opotiki, N. Potts!

Apium tenuifolium (Moench.) Thellung. Recorded only from the North Island (Allan, 1940, p. 135), this species was noted as not uncommon in pastures and scrub along the Wairau River, Marlborough.
