32 CHILI. [Composite. 



15. ERIGERON. Linn. 

 1. E. spiculosum; caule herbaceo anguloso pilis albidis hispidulo, foliis lineari-oblongis 

 acutis margine (praecipue) cartilagineo- spinulosis, panicula multiflora, pedunculis pilis 

 albis appressis, involucro subpiloso. 



Hab. Valparaiso.— Mr. Bridges has likewise transmitted this plant, whose nearest affinity appears to be 

 with E. linifolium, Willd. 



16. SENECIO. Linn. 



1. S. bipinnatifidus ; frutescens glanduloso-pilosus viscidus, ramis angulatis, foliis semi- 

 amplexicaulibus bipinnatifidis, laciniis linearibus obtusis basi subauriculatis, corymbo 

 paucifloro, involucro tomentoso, radio patente. 



Hab. Coquimbo. 



2. S.glabratus; frutescens glaber, ramis (ultimis) striatis, foliis semiamplexicaulibus 

 bipinnatifidis, laciniis linearibus obtusis, corymbo paucifloro, involucro glaberrimo, radio 

 patente. 



Hab. Conception.— This may be perhaps a denuded state of the last, but it is perfectly glabrous in all 

 its parts : we have only seen one, and that an indifferent specimen. 



3. S. arnicoides ; caule herbaceo, foliis radicalibus lanceolatis angulato-dentatis obscure 

 trinerviis subpubescentibus longe petiolatis, scapo foliis linearibus dentatis bracteiformi- 

 bus, triplo longiore, corymbo subtrifloro, radio patente. 



Hab. Conception. — Nearly allied to S. pauciflorus, Kunth. 



4. S. nigrescens ; caule herbaceo adscendente ramoso, foliis ovalibus amplexicaulibus 

 inciso-lobatis glabris, panicula subcorymbosa, involucro glabro basi paucibracteato, 

 radio patente, acheniis striatis pubescentibus. — " Nillgue." Feuill. Ch.il. v. 2. t. 44. 



Hab. Conception. — Although we cannot find this described in any systematic work, we cannot question 

 for a moment that it is the plant of Feuillee, of which he says that it is much used for intermittent fevers. 



17. GALINSOGEA. Ruiz §• Pav. 



1. G. parviflora; herbacea ramosa, foliis petiolatis ovatis triplinerviis serratis pubes- 

 centibus, pedunculis axillaribus paucifloris, radio 5-floro abbreviate Spr. — Willd. Sp. PI. 

 v. 3. p. 2228. 



Hab. Coquimbo. 



2. G. ? resinosa ; caule fruticoso angulato ramoso, ramulis foliisque angustissime line- 

 aribus resinoso-glandulosis, floribus paniculato-corymbosis, involucro imbricato insequali 

 viscoso, receptaculo nudo. 



Hab. Coquimbo. — We possess it also from the Viua de la Mar, near Valparaiso, sent by Mr. Bridges, who 

 says that it is by no means a general plant. We refer it, with some hesitation, to Galinsogea, as the recep- 

 tacle is not paleaceous. From Hymenopappus it differs by the presence of a ray, and by its unequal 

 involucrum. 



18. HELIANTHUS. Linn. 

 1. H. glutinosus; glutinosus, caule herbaceo erecto ramoso angulato, foliis alternis 

 brevissime petiolatis ovato-lanceolatis penninerviis reticulatis inferioribus repando-dentatis
