by Adr. de Jussieu are only about two or three 
inches long, and nearly simple ; those from Cuming and 
Bridges are about five inches high with long horizontal 
branches; while others from Dr. Gillies are nearly a 
foot high, and the branches numerous, erect, and rigid.

Chili, Dr. Gillies. Cordillera of Chili, Cuming (N. 323.) 
Valparaiso, Bridges.— This seems a most variable plant, 
both as to pubescence and the length of the peduncle, 
and it is on this account we have united so many sy- 
nonyms :—our Chilian specimens are usually pubescent. 
(2.) Jussieua stenophylla, (Gill. mst.) ; caule suffruti- 
coso (?) flexuoso superne hirsuto-villoso, foliis anguste 
lanceolatis utrinque acuminatis piloso-pubescentibus 
fructum fere duplo excedentibus, fructu sub-cylindraceo 
pedunculis apice bibracteolatis longiore bracteolis parvis 
lacinias calycinas quinque lanceolatas sequante.—Moist 
places at Mendoza, Dr. Gillies.—The specimens before _ 
us have a firm stem, and appear to have belonged to a 
shrubby plant, in which case this species will rank close 
to J. Peruviana.
