the genus, by the more numerous valves to its capsule. 
(16.) Calandrinia glauca, Schrad.— Valparaiso, Mathews, 
(AN. 315.) ; Cuming, (.N. 408.) — The stem seems verylong; 
the lower leaves lanceolato-spatbulate, acute, the upper 
ones lanceolate, acuminate; both are glaucous: the 
peduncles are distant, about an inch and a half long, 
and reflexed: bracteas ovate, acute, membranaceous, and 
spotted with purple. The seeds are pubescent.

Isedro, Andes of Mendoza, Dr. Gillies.—If Bartling 
(in Presl, Relig. Henk. v. 2. p. 13. t. 49. f. 2.) had not 
asserted so positively that the root of C. Quitensis was 
annnal, we might have been disposed to unite ours to - 
that species. His C. saginoides is, we think, undoubt- - 
edly a variety of C. Quitensis, with a 4-partite calyx 
and 4-valved capsule.— We are at a loss to conceive why 
Kunth and Bartling both insert this genus among 
the Carophyllee ; the stamens are decidedly perigynous,
