( N. 22.)—This very little known plant, of which but one 
specimen, with a single flower and young fruit, was in 
the collection, seems to be only known, firstly, by Moli- 
na’s short and very imperfect character, above referred 
to, who gives it as a native of Chili; and secondly, by 
the figure and description given by Cavanilles, from a 
drawing communicated to him by Molina. This, as well 
as the Tricuspidaria, bears the vernacular name of 
Patagua, but according to Ruiz and Pavon, that appel- 
lation is given to several plants. The Natural Order 
appears to us to be El@ocarpee, notwithstanding the 
widely different floral envelope.
