Buenos Ayres, Tweedie.—W e scarcely know any species 
with which to compare this in character ; it approaches 
to J. nervosa, but it is in reality very distinct from what 
. We possess under that name;—it is also allied to J. 
elegans, S. Hil.

bus axillaribus sub-dioicis, masculis octandris, foliis om- 
nibus subconformibus pectinato-pinnatipartitis, lobis li~ 
nearibus acutis.—Ditches at Buenos Ayres, Dr. Gillies ; 
Tweedie. Andes of Chili (first and second ranges), 
Cuming (N. 164.)—4A]l the specimens we have seen have 
the same appearance, and never present the capillary 
segments of the lower leaves, found in the allied M. ver- 
ticillatum. Although we consider this a distinct species, 
yet its characterisfar from satisfactory, and De Candolle's 
M. verticillatum, var. limosum, seems almost to connect 
the two. ®In none of the specimens from Dr. Gillies 
have we observed a male flower; those from Cuming, 
again, are entirely male; but in one from Tweedie, prin- 
cipally male, we have seen also female flowers below : 
in M. verticillatum the flowers are constantly moncecious.
