In Chili ad Coquimbo. | Caldcleugh. x x. 
A highly interesting addition to this group, for the discs 
of which we are indebted to Alexander Caldcleugh, Esq., E.R.S. 
and L.S., who an ther, mare important avocations has not 
neglected the interne of science during his residence i inia part 
of Chile hitherto but little explored, but has added much to 
knowledge of the Chilian Flora, which, as we have already seen, 
is rich in this department of botany. - 
I have dedicated this genus to my much-valued friend James 
E. Bicheno, Esq., F.R.S., the zealous Secretary of this Society, 
whose merits as a botanist, and whose liberal views in every de- 
partment of science, dine press pex to. Ade qup imeni :
