stamens instead of two. 17. Caltha appendiculata. 18. Our 
poor friend Menzies^* * Viola 3-dentata? 19. Several forms 
of Arbutus (Pernettia) mucronata, for it is a very variable 
plant. 20. Azorella. 21. Oreobolus obtusangulus. 22. Vero-

Island species (G. Falklandica, Ic. Plant. t. 489, 490). 24.

times the size of the leaf itself; they are petiolated, and at first sight 
might be taken for the closed leaves of Dionea ! being orbicular, fleshy, 
deeply cut into two parallel lobes, which are fringed at the margins, and 
folded the one upon the other, exactly as in the well-known Fly-Trap of 
America. On these lobes being forced back, however, they are found to 
enclose the two curious appendages of the base (like those of Caltha appen- 
diculata. See Delessert's Icones, v. 1, t. 43. and C. sagittata. See Ca- 
vanilles’ Icones, t. 414), notwithstanding that these lobes are themselves 
almost as large as the leaves; so that, when opened, the leaves are in 
reality 4-lobed, the lesser ones closely applied or folded upon the face of 
the larger ones, and these two folded again laterally upon themselves, 
The smaller lobes, or appendages, as wellas the larger ones, are equally 
beautifully ciliated, and the inner faces of all are, besides, concave and 
minutely papillose. I shall propose for this plant the name of 
Caltha (Psychrophila, DC.) dioneefolia ; minuta, densissime cespitosa, 
ramosa, foliis petiolatis orbiculatis carnosis bilobis lobis conduplicatis ap- 
pendiculisque appressis pulcherrime setoso-ciliatis intusque minutissime 
papillosis, stipulis membranaceis maximis, pedunculo unifloro vix foliis 
longiore, sepalis 5 ovato-oblongis, staminibus 5-9, ovariis sub-3. oe

* It was only on returning to the Falklands from Cape Horn, and just 
previously to writing the above, that Dr. Hooker had received intelligence 
of the death of his venerable friend Mr. Menzies, for whom he, in common 
with all those who knew his worth, entertained a great affection. Many 
notices of the stations of rare plants in distant regions did Mr, 
Menzies give to our young botanist before his embarkation, and the news 
of the decease of such a friend could not fail to touch him deeply, while 
traversing seas which had been visited by that amiable man fifty 
years before, when on his voyage round the globe with Capt. Van- 
couver,
