colour of the dry pappus would be described as dirty white. The 

 range of this species is considerable, but apparently confined to 

 the eastern side of the continent. It extends from about the 

 44th to the 30th degree of S. latitude ; but, although included in 

 the ' Flora Brasiliensis,' has not, I believe, been found in Brazil. 



48. Baccharis glutinosa, Pers. " Shrub ; height from 4 to 



6 feet ; blossom white. Very general along the course of the 

 Rio Negro ; to the south is always met with in sheltered valleys 

 and generally in the neighbourhood of water." — TV. Andrews. 

 The distribution of this very variable species is very singular. On 

 the west side of the continent it extends from the neighbourhood 

 of Lima to Southern Chili through some 27 degrees of latitude. 

 On the eastern side, where it is less common, it extends from 

 Northern Patagonia to Uruguay and the Central Argenti 

 provinces, but not to Brazil. Specimens that I have seen 

 Paraguay and Southern Brazil appear to belong to B. serrulata, 

 Pers., which I believe to be a distinct species with longer, broader, 

 and more numerous involucral bracts. 



87. Bacohaeis notoseboilla, Griseb. " Shrubby plant, 

 height from 1 to 2£ feet ; small yellowish-white blossoms ; has a 

 very strong aromatic scent; found in sand and clay ground, 

 always in valleys and low-lying parts ; local name Escobilla. I s 

 employed by the natives to make brushes similar to our besoms. 

 Very widely distributed; in places, as between Boca and Chin- 

 chinal, forms almost the sole vegetation, and reaches right from the 

 sea-coast to the foot of the Cordillera and southward to the Straits 

 of Magellau."— W. Andrews.

vinces. It evidently has a much wider rauge, but until speci 

 have been received there must be some doubt as to its extension 

 to the Magellanic region. Like the two preceding species, it « 

 included in the ' Flora Brasiliensis,' although not, so far as we 

 know, a native of Brazil.
