EOSACE^. 



Ac^NA LAPPACEA, Ruiz Sf Pav. Chicla ! 



AciENA ? Chicla! A plant doubtless belonging to this 



genus, but without flower or fruit. 



Alchemilla pi]S"nata, Buiz ^ Pav. Chicla ! Casapalta !

Saxieragace^. 



bAXIERAGA COBDILLEEARUM, Presl, Var. DECIPIENS, nob. 



Chicla ! 



Tenuiter glanduloso-hirtella, foliis caudiculorum latis trifidis, 

 lohia exterioribus s^epius bifidis, nervis lateralibus furcatis, sca- 

 porum florentium foliis integris bracteiformibus. 



SAxiERiVaA coRDiLLERABUM, Presl^ var, NIVALIS, tiob. Above

Pygma^a, foliis omnibus subaequaliter trifidis^ lobis oblongo-

Cotyledon iNCANu:vr, n. sp» Chicla ! 



Caule erecto, 6-8-pollicari, inferne ramoso : ranus lateralibus 

 brevibus crebre foliatis, foliis ovali-cylindricis teretibus; floribus 

 8-12 in racemum brevem dispositis, erectis, superioribus sessili- 

 bus, inferioribus breviter pedicellatis, pedicellis basi bracteatis ; 

 sepalis ovali-lanceolatis, viridibus margine pallidis ; corolla sub- 

 tubulosa; petalis ochroleucis vel pallide rubentibus, lineari- 

 lanceolatis, acutis, quam sepala sesquilongioribus, usque ad 

 tertiam vel dimidiam partem coalitis. 



A very distinct species, with the leaves and habit of a Sedum 



Eche 



verice^ with which, nevertheless, it must be united,
