Bot. of Beech. Voy. v. l. p. 4. t. 3. Valparaiso, Mr. 
Cruckshanks ; Bridges; Cuming (N. 562.)—8St. Hilaire 
places this species in the genus Cesalea, and De Can- 
- dolle says the flowers are minute; but in our specimens 
we always find the petals large and numerous, and so 
- also Schlechtendal describes them. It is possible that 
our and Schlechtendal's plants may be distinct.

petalus, Gill. mst.—Los Palomades, Valle del Tenuyan, 
Andes of Mendoza, Dr. Gillies—This appears to be 
very variable, especially as to pubescence, and is most 
readily distinguished by its globose head of carpels, 
which have a long incurved persistent style; the stem 
has usually only one leaf and one flower, rarely two 
leaves and two flowers; the sepals are refexed; and the 
habit is that of R. bulbosus. 
(8. Ranunculus muricatus, Linn.—Buenos Ayres, Dr. 
Gillies. Valparaiso, Cuming (N. 384.) 
(1.) Drymis Chilensis, De Cand.—Juan Fernandez,

Mr. Cruckshanks ; Macrae; Bridges; Mathews (N. 223.); 
Cuming (N. 644.) Curico, (Chili), Dr. Gillies —The 
Juan Fernandez specimens have the leaves lanceolate and 
slightly glaucous beneath : in those from Valparaiso they 
are generally elliptical and exceedingly glaucous beneath; 
but Mr. Cuming’s specimens from thence have nar- 
rower leaves that are glaucous on both sides. We 
fear the D. Chilensis must merge into D. Winteri, 
judging from spe quen at the Straits of 
Magellan.
