The North Island of New Zealand also contains several well-
known European plants, which were found here by her earlier scientific
visitors; - (exclusive of the host of common plants which have come
in with colonization;) - some of which, curiously enough, have not
been found elsewhere in the Southern Hemisphere. Those European
plants (several of which are cosmopolites) are of the following natural
orders, viz:- Cruciferae, 3; Caryophlleae, 2; Malvaceae, 1; Gerani-
aceae, 2; Oxalideae, 1; Coriarieae, 1; Rosaceae, 2; Onagrariae, 1;
Halorageae, 1; Compositeae, 5; Solaneae, 1; Chenopodiaceae, 4;
Naidaceae, 3; Aroideae, 4; Junceae, 3; Cyperaceae, 6; Gramineae, 4;
Filices, 7; and, Lycopodiaceae, 1; - total species, 57. It is worthy of
remark, that not a single species is hard-wooded, scarcely even a
shrub, save Coriaria ruscifolia; - and that many of them are sea-side
and water plants, identical to those found in Great Britain.
