In New Zealand no less than
five hundred species of plants have
been introduced and acclimated
since the colonization Of the ISL

there is ascribed, directly or indi-
rectly, to the presence of civilized
man. They have followed him
and curiously enough, have driven
before them some of the plants
indigenous to the soil. Most of
the invaders are small species, yet
they have prevailed over large and
vigorous native species. Man is
a conqueror, and plants and ami
