Abstract
UPWARDS of thirty years ago Sir Joseph Hooker published an account of the botany of Raoul or Sunday Island, one of the Kermadec Group (Journal of the Linnean Society, i. pp. 125β29), founded upon a small collection made by McGillivray and Milne, naturalists attached to H.M.S. Herald. This collection consisted of forty-two species, of which twenty were flowering plants, and the rest ferns and lycopods: and the most interesting circumstance connected with it was βthe identity of most of the flowering plants, and all but one of tire ferns, with those of New Zealand.β
