Scrophulariaceae.

Verbascum blattaria Linn. Moth mullein. Occurs in form erubescens Brugger at Bucklands Beach, Auckland, Mrs D. M. Mason! Masterton, N. Lamont!

Antirrhinum orontium Linn. Lesser snapdragon. Recorded by Cheeseman (1906, p. 1082) for Auckland and Napier, and noted as with similar distribution by Allan (1940, p. 206), this species has been found in waste land at Picton, Blenheim, Richmond, Appleby, Motueka, Riwaka. It also occurs, sometimes in quantity, in tobacco fields at Motueka and Riwaka.

^† Linaria arvensis (Linn.) Desf. (Mediterranean region.) In the earlier paper, acknowledgment of specimens collected by Dr. G. H. Cunningham was omitted, due to the fact that the writer was not aware of these specimens; they were collected about Blenheim some months earlier than the writer's. The species has recently been collected in waste places at Ward.

Veronica americana Schwein. American brooklime. Recorded by Allan (1940, p. 303) from Hamilton, it has now been found at Ashburton, R. McGillivray! W. H. Vaughan!

Veronica hederaefolia Linn. Ivy speedwell. Noted by Allan (1940, p. 303) from Owaka, Otago; it has been collected at Feilding, in 1933.

Veronica verna Linn. Originally recorded by Allan (1940, p. 303) for Fairlie, and later noted from North Canterbury by Healy (1943, p. 332), has now been found to be more widely distributed—Medbury Plains; Black Hills region, North Canterbury; depleted tussock grassland, Molesworth Run, Marlborough, H. H. Allan!

Veronica anagallis Linn. Water speedwell. New localities for this species are in swamps at spotswood; damp places along the Waiau-ua River, near Parnassus; Kaiwarra River; Beckenham Hills Station, Hurunui River; Waitohi River; Pahau River; Riverlands, near Blenheim. Specimens from Lowry Hills (between Cheviot and Culverden) and Maungaturoto, North Auckland, agree with V. aquatica Bernh. having pedicels spreading horizontally, and capsules longer than the calyx members. This latter is maintained as a distinct species by Hegi (1928, p. 63) but the minor differences between the two plants would indicate that it should be considered as a variety of V. anagallis Linn.
