DU. a. DICKIE ON MOSSKS ETC. FROM DAYIS STUA.IT.S. iGi 



Feuillee's TJdlco are referred to it, as is Lamarck's F, mayellanica, 

 which, having been publislied in 1786, should have been the 

 adopted name. Chili is given as the habitat. 



Lastly, in 1811, the second edition of Aiton's * Hortus Kew- 

 ensia ' was published, in which the reference to Feuillee's " Thilco," 

 which appeared in the first edition, is omitted ; but AV^illdenow, 

 Salisbury, Schneevoogt, and the Botanical Magazine are all 

 quoted. The two species are therefore here confounded. 



Beyond this it is not necessary to go, as every succeeding 

 author who describes or mentions F. coccinea alludes to F, magel- 

 lanica] and it only remains to give the contrasting diagnoses of 



the 



species

* Some of the Mosses and Hepaticx load been pi-eviously forwarded bj Mr.
