6 B. picuéroma (Poeppig, diar. no. 363. pl. exsic. 95.) plant 
erect, dichotomous, hoary from stellate fascicles of hairs ; leaves 
short, petiolate, obovate, coarsely tridentate at the apex ; umbels 
5-7-flowered, on long peduncles. ©. H Native of Chili, 
about Valparaiso and the baths of Collina. Peduncles of um- 
bels about equal in length to the leaves, or longer ; sometimes 
simple, bearing an umbellule at the apex : sometimes bifid at the 
apex, bearing 2 linear leaves, each of the branches bearing an 
umbellule. This species, like the others, varies much in the 
Proportionate length of the peduncles: they are, however, 
usually much shorter than the petioles.

when the weather gets warm, the plants may be planted out 
Into the open ground, in any warm sheltered situation.

Cult. If any of the species of this genus should ever be 
introduced to our gardens, we would advise their being grown 
in pots, in a mixture of sand and peat, and placed among other 
alpine plants, so that they may be protected in winter by a 
frame.
