Celmesia Holosericea.

This beautiful Celmesia is found at Dusky Bay, Port Preservation and on the West coast of Otago.

From the sea-level it ascends to 4000 ft. and may therefore be classed among the mountain flowers.

In mountainous parts the seeds of plants are often washed down by the rain and so grow on lower levels, but are seldom as fine as among their native snows.
