Specimens of this Mutisia were collected in the neighbourhood 
of Valparaiso by Mr. Thomas Bridges, an enterprising young bo- 
tanist, from whose exertions we may confidently expect many va- 
luable additions to the Chilian Flora. Mr. Bridges informs me 
that the plant flowers in October, and that the rays are pink.
