tire margins ; petals a little longer than the calyx ; flowers with 
few stamens. h.D.G. Native of Chili, on the eastern side 
of the Cumbre, and at El Alto de la Laguna. Closely allied to

it can only be distinguished by the entire margins of the sepals.

ovate, trifid at the apex, with a few hairs on the back, but more 
numerous on the margins; stamens 5. ©. H. Native of Chili,
