Note 21 — A SOUTHERN CROSS FAIRY TALE.
Reading edition
The Mountain Lily (Ranunculus Lyallii) of the South Island is a large and handsome buttercup, perhaps the most beautiful of its kind. Its numerous flowers are four inches across, the petals being of a pure waxy-white; the leaves are very large, round, and somewhat cup-shaped. Its favourite spot is by the side of some mountain stream.—A. P. W. T.
