Additional Notes
Four species of Stephani's not already mentioned are L. cheesemanu, L. kaalaasu, L. petriana, and L. zurnii
The packet of L. cheesemanii seen was from Herb. Beckett, 255, and may not have been Stephani's type It is a very small bidentate specimen. Stephani's drawing of L. cheesemanu shows the perianth with very broad, strongly toothed wings. This is sometimes seen in L. lenta
The packet labelled L. kaalaasii was Kirk's No 440 It is similar to L. grandistipula Schiff. and L. kirku St, varietal forms of L. novae-zelandiae. It is doubtful if this is the type.

The packet of L. petriana was collected by Petrie, 1898, and probably is the type. A very likely identification of this is L. subporosa Mitt.
L. zurnii was not seen. From the drawing and description one concludes that it is L. helmsiana, with stipule segments having a lateral tooth.
A curious little plant which appears to be a Lophocolea was collected on Olearia lacunosa, slopes of Mt. Alpha, 3,900 ft., Tararuas, by A. P. Druce, Jan. 1948 (7047). It is extremely minute, with leaves 0 1–0·15 mm. long, and with terminal capitate strings of gemmae. It is faintly suggestive of L. bispinosa.
