MB. JOHN BALL ON THE 



Andes 



Specimens collected by Tweedie, and labelled South Brazil, are 

 almost certainly from Uruguay. 





27. Labbea cuneieolia, Cav. This has been sent by Mr. 

 Andrews with the same number as the last species. It has 

 nearly the same geographical range, but appears to be less 



common.

52. Labbea nitida, Cav. " Shrub growing on high dry 

 ground, very resinous, burns with a bright flame, dense smoke, 

 and acrid odour — small yellow blossoms which grow on the leaf. 



W. Andrews. Elsewhere Mr. Andrews says that this species 

 is not found in the valley of the Eio Negro, but on the outer 

 slopes of the Andes above the junction of the rivers Limay aud 

 Nenquen. , It extends northward to the outer slopes of the 

 Andes both on the eastern and western sides to about S. lat. 30 . 



The secondary branches often bear four or five pairs of opposite 

 leaves very regularly disposed, and Mr. Andrews apparently 



regarded them as forming a pinnate leaf, 

 are borne on very short thick pedicels.

94. G-ebanium patagonicum, HooJc.f. Fl. Antarct. 252. This 

 appears to agree closely with authentic specimens from Southern 

 Patagonia and Fuegia. Those from the island of Juan Fernandez, 

 from Monte Video, and from Mendoza, which have heen doubt- 

 fully referred to this species, may perhaps be better ranked under 

 G. intermedium, Bertero, unless they should all be regarded as 

 forms of the same species.
