Chevreulia stolonifera, Cass. 



Chevreulia stolonifera, Cass. ; DC, Prodr., vii. p. 45 ; Carmick. in Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., xii. p. 507. 

 Xeranthcmum c&spitosum, Thouars, Esquisse Fl. Trist., p. 39, t. 8. 

 Chevreulia thouarsii, Gay, Fl. Chil., iii. p. 332. 



Tristan da Cunha. — Sufficiently common — Thouars; on the most barren spots of 

 the plain — Carmichael. 



Uruguay ; Paraguay ; Chili. Very common in the last-named country. 



With this exception, the small genus Chevreulia, which may be regarded as Gnaphalium 

 with opposite leaves, is restricted to South America, where it extends alorjg the Andes 

 from Chili to Ecuador. 



Mr Moseley did not meet with either this or the preceding (Lagenophora), certainly 

 indigenous Compositm. 



Gnaphalium pyramidale, Thouars. (Plate XXVI.) 



Gnaphalium pyramidale, Thouars, Esquisse Fl. Trist., p. 40 ; Carmich. in Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., xii. 



p. 507 ; DC, Prodr., vi. 234, non Berg. 

 Gnaphalium thouarsii, Spreng., Syst. "Veg., iii. p. 473. 



Endemic in the Tristan da Cunha group. 



Tristan da Cunha. Thouars; Carmichael; Moseley. Inaccessible Island. 

 Moseley. 



Gnaphalium luteo-album, Linn. 



Gnaphalium luteo-album, Linn. ; DC, Prodr., vi. p. 230; Benth., Fl. Austr., iii. p. 653 ; Hook, f., 

 Handb. Fl. N. Zeal., p. 154. 



Tristan da Cunha and Inaccessible Island. Moseley. 



Generally diffused in temperate and tropical regions, and perhaps accidentally con- 

 veyed to these islands. 



Cotula australis, Hook. 



Gotula australis, Hook, f., Fl. N. Zeal., i. p. 128, et Handb. Fl. N Zeal., p. 141 ; Benth., Fl. Austr., 

 iii. p. 550 ; Hook. 1, Fl. Tasm., t. 50. 



Tristan da Cunha. — In pasture — Milne and MacGillivray. 



Common in Australia and New Zealand, and perhaps also a native of South Africa. 



Moseley (Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond., xiv. p. 381) mentions a species of Cotula, different 

 from the one described below, as being common in Tristan da Cunha. It was probably 

 this species, but no specimens came to hand. 



The genus Cotula, although widely diffused in the northern hemisphere, is more 

 specially characteristic of the flora of the south temperate zone, where the species are 

 rather numerous.
