RANUNCULUS NAVICOLA

North Island. This fine plant grows near the perpetual snow on Mount Egmont, but I found some very handsome specimens growing lower down the mountain side. They also have been found on Tongariro, Ngauruhoe, and Ruapehu.

Erect, branched from 2 – 3 feet high, bearing numerous golden yellow flowers.

First discovered by Dieffenbach.
