Ms. (Photocopy in Dominion Museum, Wellington.). 11 Indeed they were: many are mentioned in Colenso’s letters to JD Hooker, and Hooker’s comments on some of them are in his notebooks (see Part 2 of this work). 12 The Alexander Turnbull Library has a notebook in Colenso’s hand, titled “Index Musci, Hepaticæ, Fungi & Lichenes described by me in ‘Trans NZ Inst’”. 13 Nylander, W. 1888: “Lichens Novae-Zelandiae”. Schmidt, Paris. 14 It seems more likely the mosses Colenso sent in 1883-6 went to Felix M Reader (1850-1911), who came from Australia in the 1870s and was a member of the Hawke’s Bay Philosophical Institute in 1882. Colenso described Bartramia readeriana (Trans. NZ Inst 1884; 17: 258): “I have with pleasure named this species after Mr. F. Reader (formerly of Blenheim, New Zealand, but now of Victoria), an amiable, persevering and unassuming young botanist, and diligent collector of plants, especially mosses; which Order he has long made his particular and close study, and that from pure love of nature, and not for mere pecuniary gain”. There are orchids, liverworts, and other plants in various Australian herbaria collected by FM Reader, and his main collection of 10,000 specimens is one of the “significant historical collections,” purchased in 1906 by the National Herbarium of Victoria. The herbarium has 103 specimens of mosses and hepatics collected by the Rev. W. Colenso in New Zealand. FMF Reader wrote (from the Friendly Society Dispensary, Fitzroy, Melbourne) to WJ Hooker on 1 June 1884, that he had “recently arrived from NZ… when in NZ I collected musci largely”. 15 Colenso referred in later plant lists to plants numbered in the “printed ‘Journey’” – see, for instance, No. 1148. 16 Wevers L 2002. Adventures of the printer. Country of writing: travel writing in New Zealand 1809-1900. Auckland, University Press, pp. 34-60. 17 Colenso’s plant lists to Cunningham betray his relative botanical naivety in those early years. 18 21 September 1841 19 23 November 1841 20 Colenso had written (see August-September 1841 letters), “Our acquaintance, my dear friend, has been, indeed, brief! and that, too, under great disadvantages – but, believe me, I shall ever remember you; and though it is not probable that we shall ever meet on earth again, yet I endeavour to console myself with the hope of hearing from and corresponding with you”. 21 Endersby J 2001. “From having no Herbarium”. Local knowledge vs. metropolitan expertise: Joseph Hooker’s Australasian correspondence with William Colenso and Ronald Gunn. Pacific Science, 55 (4). pp. 343-358). 22 For example, here is FMF Reader to JD Hooker (1 June 1884), “With what infinite pleasure and gratification I perused your kind and highly valued letter, I can but faintly describe. I most heartily thank you for it, and not the least for the mosses collected during the Antarctic expedition. I need hardly say that they are sacred to me and will be a lasting memoir. They are indeed a treasure!” 23 Quoted in Colenso to WJ Hooker 31 January 1853. 24 Colenso was a prodigious correspondent: he recorded in 1898 that he wrote in the five months “Augt.1, to Decr.31st, – 427 letters, some very long”. 25 Bagnall and Petersen’s bibliography relates the sorry destruction of Colenso’s papers after his death. 26 For example Scott GAM 1971. New Zealand Bryology, past, present and future. NZ Journ. Bot. 9: 739-743 referred dismissively to “the enthusiastic but indiscriminative Colenso”. 27 Lucy Moore, on Gastrodia leucopetala Col. , for instance: “…described in great detail from one fl. , and differs in no significant respect (from G. cunninghamii);” Fl. N.Z. II, 1970, 158. 28 Plant list of June 1850. 29 In his later letters Colenso would write “mihi” after the binomial, acknowledging that this was one of his own names (Latin “mihi” = mine; Māori “mihi” = acknowledgement). 30 Cheeseman TF 1925. Man. N.Z. Fl., 350. 31 Quoted by Colenso in his letter of 28 August 1854. 32 Colenso to Cheeseman 17 October 1884. 33 Colenso to JD Hooker 28 August 1854. 34 19 August 1896 35 Gould SJ 1998.

The Ferns of Scinde Island [Napier]. Trans. N.Z. Inst. , Vol. XI. , p. 429). 46 Letter 31 January 1848. 47 Letter 24 January 1885. Was he overdosing with his hemlock concoction? see 5 January 1866 letter and footnote 236. 48 Letter 24 January 1893. 49 Letter 2 July 1897. 50 Letter 13 August 1897. 51 Colenso complained of failing memory in letters of 22 January 1883, 14 October 1885, 4 February 1894, 2 June 1896, 13 August 1897 and 25 May 1898. 52 Letter 8 February 1894. 53 30 November 1886. 54 Kew, Royal Botanic Gardens. Manuscripts relating to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific area, 1766-1938. Positive microfilm. Australian Joint Copying Project 1971. ATL reference “Micro-Ms-Coll-10”. 55 This account is compiled from Hamlin’s notes at Te Papa. 56 Images of Colenso's type specimens at Te Papa are available through Collections Online on Te Papa's website, http://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/AdvancedSearch.aspx?collectiongroup=NE. 57 He retained duplicates of about 2300 of the upwards of 6500 numbered lots sent to W. J. Hooker up to 1865. 58 Bagnall & Petersen mention “an undated note to Colenso (from Cunningham): ‘... Have a little fire in the room, and I shall consider myself ½-breakfasted with you and may get more briskly to work among your remaining specimens....’ ” 59 These difficulties are now overcome by electronic “typesetting”, so I have retained single and double underlines as in the originals, and ignored the double hyphens. 60 Actually, he did in his plant lists, e.g. No. 2483. 61 Indeed they are, and they are published herewith. 62 The volume is no longer bound. It was taken apart several years ago to provide greater safety for the specimens. 63 Colenso claimed in later life that he spent Christmas day in Charles Darwin’s company (Bagnall & Petersen p72). 64 Henry Williams negotiated the purchase of the 20-ton schooner “Columbine” for the Church Missionary Society. 65 in a French ship L’Héroïne. Bagnall & Petersen state, “No record has been traced of the meeting or relationship between the two men while Cunningham was in New Zealand. . . .” (p73). 66 No diaries survive from this second period, so these records are derived from letters and specimen labels. 67 Colenso wrote, “I am now about leaving Napier on my usual autumnal visit to the forests (my emphasis) suggesting he had resumed collecting before 1882. 68 i.e., probably between the Mangatawhainui and Mangatawhaiiti streams. 69 Hamlin questions this, and indeed I can find no evidence that Colenso ever visited DP Balfour at Glenross. 70 Hamlin included the names mentioned in Herb. Colenso; other names appear in the lists to Kew. 71 It is now the name of a farm near Gladstone on the Martinborough road. 72 Colenso’s early references to “E. Coast” usually indicated the east coast of Northland. He wrote from Waitangi to JD Hooker in 1854, “As to the giving of ‘E. Coast’ as a hab. for many Plants, it might just as well be left out, because several plants are peculiar to different parts (or ½ degrees of lat. , if you will), of the E. Coast; I also think, E. Coast would have been better for between this place & Cook’s Str.” 73 Hurunui-o-rangi is now the marae at Gladstone. 74 Probably Horace Baker 75 i.e., not Porangahau, N. of Cape Turnagain. 76 Whareama is on the Masterton – Riversdale road. 77 See also “Mortensen’s” below. Colenso lodged at “Fernhills”, a guesthouse 1km south of Norsewood. A plaque by the house site reads “With affectionate remembrance and thanks to our Pioneer Ancestors Johann Fredrik and Anna Maria Mortensen, Emanuel and Helena Frederikson, Elizabeth and Leonhard Andersen. Erected 1997”. Fernhills was owned by Mortensen in Colenso’s time, and that house burned in 1888. The present house dates from 1907. Dannevirke historian Michael Stone interviewed Bella (Elizabeth) Andersen in 2002 when she was aged 99 – she recalled conversations between her father and sister about Colenso coming to stay with her grandfather at Fernhills. There are three Colenso letters (not on botanical subjects) to “Hans” (Johann) Mortensen in the Alexander Turnbull Library. See “The families of ‘Fernhills’ and their Garfield neighbours, pioneers of Norsewood. Oline Ball, 1997.” 78 “My lodging at Dannevirke is close to the railway-station, and my sitting-room window commands the main road leading to it.”(1890. Bush notes. Trans NZ Inst 23:489). 80 Friburg’s Line is also known as Garfield Rd, 1km south of Norsewood; it leaves the main road near Colenso’s “Accommodation house” (q.v.), and leads to Makotuku, passing on the left the farm where Andreas Olsen lived. 81 Colenso wrote to Balfour on 1 March 1887, “I was in Bush over 3 weeks…. in a tangled brake, in a wood, I saw 13 spikes of Gastrodia, all near ea. other, 2 I measured above 3 ft. high, but all past flowering. I marked that spot….”. 82 Balfour managed the Glenross Station and sent many specimens to Colenso; Colenso’s letters to Balfour are preserved in the Alexander Turnbull Library, and Balfour’s diaries in the Hawke’s Bay Museum, Napier (see p401). 83 Colenso wrote to Balfour on 25 April 1883, “I remained the first week at P. Gow’s, Waipukurau”; Augustus Hamilton’s diaries also contain an entry, “Stayed at Gow’s, Waipukurau”. Peter Gow was proprietor of the Tavistock Hotel and a member of the Hawke’s Bay Philosophical Institute in 1880 and 1885. 84 Knight road is east of Dannevirke. 85 Probably the gully under the bridge at Matamau. 86 There is a Mangapai south of Whangarei. 87 A favorite fern site; there are, in the Alexander Turnbull Library, letters from Colenso to a Mr Lund asking him to send ferns. 88 But more likely Johann Frederick Mortensen (see “Accommodation house” above). 89 No 22 in the supplementary list refers to the lower end of Myrsine wood as close to the Mangatera river. 91 See “Gastrodia fence”. 92 Colenso collected Pterostylis patens from “forests, hilly country, near Norsewood” in 1883. 93 Colenso wrote to Balfour (3 March 1885) “I brought down with me [from Norsewood] a little plant of the ‘Divot’ orchid, sawing off the branch of the tree [Rimu] on which it grew”. This was Sarcochilus breviscapa Col. |
