MR. JOHN BALL ON THE 









W. Andrews. I believe that this species is confined to South 

 Patagonia and the coasts of the Magellan Straits. 



A specimen in the Kew Herbarium is labelled " Maldonado, 

 Tweedie ;" but it is allowable to suspect that the label has been 

 misplaced.

69. Senecio subulatus, D. Don, ex TLooTc. et Am. Journ.Bot. 

 iii. 320, var. ? " Large bushy shrub, yellow blossoms, very luxuri- 

 ant, found in sand-hills on sea-coast." — W. Andrews. This speci- 

 men is in most respects intermediate between S. subulatus and 

 S. linariafolius, Poepp. ex DC. Prod. The typical S. subulatus 

 was first found by Dr. Gillies in the province of Mendoza, and it 

 appears to be common in the pampas of the interior provinces. 

 The same plant was distributed under the name Senecio rnendoci- 



nus, Phil., but not published by Philippi. 



efolius 



Mr 



to be common in the Chilian Cordillera. Iu the place above re- 

 ferred to, Hooker and Arnott have united to & subulatus a plant ot 

 which poor specimens were collected by Tweedie near Bahia 



Blanca. The specimens sent by .. 



larger aud more vigorous plant, have larger heads and rather 

 broader involucral scales, but must, I think, be united with 

 8. subulatus, unless both be included as forms of Senecio Unaria- 

 folius, which is the older name. 



110. Senecio ranconensis, Sch.-Bip. ad calc. Lechler Berbend., 

 sine descriptione. " Plaut with yellow flowers, straggling growth, 

 height about 2 feet ; grows under trees in thick woods on eastern 

 slope of Andes."— W. Andrews. This agrees very well with 

 Lechler's specimens from the Andes of Banco, so that the species 

 seems to inhabit the opposite slopes of the same portion of the 

 great range. In his ' Catalogue of the Chilian Flora ' Prof. 

 Friedrich Philippi has amended the specific name to the more 

 correct form 8. rancoensis.
