 some further observations upon its characters, and to explain 

 in what the plant now figured appears to differ. 



C. Herbertiana is more properly a suffruticose than a 

 shrubby plant, inasmuch as it loses its stem entirely in our 

 English winters ; and even in a warmer climate only retains

 usually bifid, instead of irregularly panicled, as formerly 

 represented ; and its lower leaves taper gradually into the 

 footstalk. It is not unfrequent in the collections about 

 London. 



The variety now figured is, like it, a native of Chile, 

 and differs in the following particulars : its lower leaves 

 are rather more coarsely and regularly toothed, and they 

 very slightly approach in some cases to a somewhat hastate

the flowers 



smaller, more densely corymbose

 three distinct projections, which give it a sort of plaited 

 appearance. 



It is a native of the neighbourhood of Valparaiso, where
