FROM THE FALKLAND ISLANDS. 219 
the occurrence even of immature and sterile specimens in the Falklands is 
worthy of record. In a recent number of the ‘Kew Bulletin’ (1914, pp.55-63) 
Г have dealt with the genus in full, and given a revision of all known species ; 
from this it will be seen that a species (possibly identical with that collected 
by Mrs. Vallentin) occurs in Southern Chile.

An interesting addition to the flora. After careful searching, Mrs. Vallentin 
succeeded in finding a number of specimens, all during the month of July. 
They are rather small, and the ascigerous portion is sometimes flattened ; but 
in essential characters they agree with European specimens. The pupæ were 
obtained and have been submitted to the British Museum authorities, who 
state that they are those of one of the Hepialidæ.

The species agrees precisely, as far as can be seen, with European material. 
The type-specimens are at Kew, but authentic material was liberally dis- 
tributed by Currey and specimens were sent out by Rabenhorst (* Fungi 
Europ:zi, no. 622). Monsieur Boudier has recently redescribed and figured 
the plant in his magnificent * Icones.
