 an extreme form of the same species, is V. bryonies, Phil., Fh

Chenopodiace^e. 



40. Atriplex crtstata, Moq., var. ? " Creeping plant of a 

 vivid green foliage, common throughout Patagonia; emits a 

 strong pungent odour when bruised." — TV. Andrews. I much 

 doubt whether A. Pamparum, G-riseb., which appears to be com- 

 mon in the Argentine pampas, can be separated from A. cristata. 

 This has a wide range in America, extending to the Southern 

 United States.

Proteace^i. 



87. Embothrium coccineum, Forst., var. ? " Found on slopes 

 of Andes in sheltered vales ; of free high growth ; blossoms red, 

 shading in parts to yellow." — W. Andrews. Professor Oliver is 

 doubtfully disposed to refer this to the F. lanceolatum, Ruiz et 

 Pav. The specimens are very incomplete, and only a few flowers 

 are developed. When better known, this may be found to belong 

 to an undescribed species. E. coccineum is common in the Magel- 

 lanic region and the southern extremity of the continent. JE. 

 lanceolatum has hitherto been found only in Chili. 





LOBANTHACE^!. 



110. Lobanthus ? an L. tetrandrus, Ruiz et Pav.? 



" Shrub found growing in woods of the slopes of the Andes ; 

 blossoms dark red."— W. Andrews. This very imperfect specimen 

 is doubtless very near to the Chilian L. tetrandrus, which is a 

 common parasite on the western slopes of the Andes, but has 

 not hitherto been found elsewhere.
