cuneatis apice emarginatis, pedunculis brevibus unifloris, 
sepalis lanceolatis corolla (flava) duplo minoribus.—El 
Cerro de la Polcura, Dr. Gillies.—This is a very beauti- 
ful species. The lower part of the stem, or root, when 
broken, is of a fine red colour. The leaves, petioles, 
peduncle, and calyx, are all covered with short patent 
hairs. The petals, perhaps from drying, eid a few 
purple lines towards the apex.

ciliis confertis (albis) compressis spathulatis.—Eastern 
ascent to La Cumbre de los Andes de Chili, (11,500 
feet,) Dr. Gillies. We have not seen the corolla of this 
species, but the peculiar fringe of its calyx is very un- 
like that of any other species we are acquainted with. -

Villavicenzio, Andes of Mendoza, Dr. Gillies.—Dr. 
Gillies found two states of this plant, the former with one, - 
- the latter with two flowers on the peduncle. As they
