(N. 282.); Cuming (N. 506.)—This approaches some- 
what in habit to Asperula galioides. ‘The branches of 
the panicle are so divaricated as to form a right angle 
with the branch that supports them, and they are even 
sometimes slightly recurved.

as well as Dr. Gillies, considered that this might be G.

also from G. icai bai, a closely allied Chilian spe-
