Gnaphalium: spicatum, Lanu^ var. = G. spliacelatum. H. B, IC 

 Chicla ! 



GrNAPHALiUM Mandonit, Sell. Btp. Chicla ! Upper valley 

 of the Eimac ! This appears to be a variety of G. oxyphyllum^ DC. 

 Along with many other names given hy Schultz Bipontinus, this 

 appears in a list of Mandon's ^' Plants of Bolivia/' published in 

 the ' Bulletin of the Botanical Society of France/ vol. xii.j without 

 descriptions. Such a mode of publication is of doubtful validity, 

 and open to grave objections. 



Gnaphalium luteo-album, i. Upper valley of the Eimac, 

 ascending to 10,000 feet ! 



Gkaphaltum melakosph^koides, Bch. Bip. Chicla! 



Gkaphalium ebigidxtm, Wedd. Chi. And, i. p. 146, tab. 24 a. 

 Above Casapalta !

 iepis, JVedd. CJil. And. i. p. 162. K'ear Chicla! 



Ambkosia autemisi^efolia, var. pebuviana. Common in the 

 Eimac valley, ascending above Matucana! 



JiEGEEiA niRTA, Less.y var. Chicla ! Very small and imma- 

 ture specimens, doubtless referable to this species, which has a 

 wide range botli in area and in altitude. 



CoHEOPSTs FASCicuLATA, Willd. Cbicla ! A form with the 

 leaves narrower than usual. 



BiDENS AXDicoLA, H, B.K, Chicla ! Some of my specimens 

 present an nnnsually luxuriant form of this species, with larger 

 flowers and stems from 2 to 3 feet in height. 



BiDENS HUMiLis, H. B, K. Common and very variable about 

 Chicla, ascending above it to a height of about 14,300 feet ! 

 Some specimens have very narrow leaves, and should perhaps be 

 distinguished as a variety. 



MACRA5? 



^nus, Griseh. PL Lorentz. p. 138 ? "Upper 

 valley of the Eimac, about 10,000 feet ! 3Iy specimens are imma- 

 ture, but approach most nearly to Grisebach's plant from the 

 Andean highlands in the north of Argentaria.
