382 MR. F. N. WILLIAMS : REVISION 
It is from an examination of these specimens that its position m 
the genus is determined. In the ‘Flora de Chile,’ cited above, in 
course of publication by Messrs. Reiche and Johow, the short 
description is only a Spanish translation of Philippi’s Latin 
diagnosis, without additional characters. In habit the plaut 
rather resembles A. palustris. 
Hab. Chile: found by F. Delfin on the banks of the river 
Palena in 1887. 
The name of the species is probably derived from the axillary 
flowers.
