The corolla is white, rather large, but so very delicate 
in its texture that it shrivels up soon after being gather- 
ed: nor canit be dried soas to preserve its natural appear- 
ance. This may possibly be the plant alluded to by Mr. - 
Miers, in his account of Chili, above-quoted ; yet as there 
_isnospecimen or description from that gentleman, I prefer 
giving it a new name, partly because Mr. Miers’ is too 
near Xeranthemum, and the floral coverings are not 
scariose; and partly because all the knowledge obtained 
of it by him has been from the written description and 
specimens collected by me. The former genus Gremia, or 
Grahamia, is the same as Cephalophora, Cav. (GILL. mst.)
