"It is matter for regret that Mr. Kirk has quoted throughout the MS. names employed in the Flora \[i.e. a transcript of Solander's manuscript *Florae Novae Zelandiae* at BM\], thus adding to synonymy a number of entirely useless names of which future monographers will have to take note." (Britten 1900). The book remained incomplete because of Kirk's death in 1898. *Ref*: Britten, J., J. Bot. 38: 141-143. Apr 1900. - Cockayne, L., Veget. New Zealand 6. 1921.
