This pretty little yellow-flowered Oxauis, is a native of 
‘Chili, in South-America. We cannot find that it has hereto- 
fore been any where described. There is another tuberous- 
_ Tooted species, native of the same country, mentioned by 
_ Mouwa; but that is caulescent. Raised from seed by — 
Joun Waker, Esq. and communicated to us in flower, in 
October 1822. Our figure represents the whole plant.
