1. Dorystigma caulescens. Jaborosa caulescens, Hook. Bot. 
Misc. loc. cit.;—caulibus plurimis; folis suboppositis vel 
ternis, lyrato-pinnatifidis, spinuloso-dentatis, petiolatis; 
floribus 3-4 in quaque axilla ; pedunculis brevibus ; bracteis 
parvis, subulatis.—In Andibus Chilensium. 
Sir William Hooker's above mentioned figure affords 
so admirable a representation of this plant, and is accom- 
panied by so good a description, that it is needless to 
make any further remark, than that the bracts are scarcely 
half an inch long, very slender, and subulately acuminate. 
Excepting in their relative size, there is little difference in the 
flower of this and the following species; the mouth and seg- 
ments of the corolla are densely lined within with tomentum, 
the hairs being articulated ; the anthers have a distinct mucro- 
nate apex, and the filaments are somewhat longer.* 
2. Dorystigma squarrosum, (n. sp.) ; Jaborosa decurrens (Nob. 
Trav. Chile, 2, 531);—foliis subternis, longe petiolatis, irre- 
gulariter pinnatifido-laciniatis, laciniis eroso-denticulatis, 
. petiolo alato, pedunculo duplo longiori; bracteis longissi- 
mis, lineari-spathulatis, pedunculo fere æqualibus.—In An- 
dibus Chilensium, altitudine 12,000 ped. 
This plant was found by me in January, 1825, in another 
and far more elevated portion of the Cordillera, near the sum- 
mit of the Cumbre; although exposed to the bleak drying 
winds prevalent in that great altitude, it is larger in its general 
proportions than the former species, and is remarkable for the 
great difference in the length of its bracts. The root is 
fusiform, and from its summit arise several stems, which are 
somewhat prostrate and ascending. The leaves have a blade 
about 3 in, long and 1 in. broad at the widest part, quite 
smooth, light green, opaque, and more coriaceous than fleshy
