THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



Monocosmia corrigioloides, Oxalis laxa, Daucus australis, Micropsia nana, Galinsoga 

 parviflora, Centunculus pentandrus, Collomia gracilis, Solanum, tuberosum, Solarium 

 furcatum, Physalis pubesceyis, Mimulus parviflorus, Roubieva multijida, Polypogon 

 crinitus, and Ilordeum nodosum. 



In addition to the plants included in the foregoing list, Mr Moseley collected a number 

 of evidently introduced species, as — Ranunculus muricatus, SUene gallica, Stella ria 

 media, Malva niccensis, Geranium robertianum, Geranium dissectum? Ruta graveolens, 

 var. bracteosa, Medicago denticulata, Lythrum grcefferi f Bidens chilensis, Hypochceris 

 glabra, Sonchus oleraceus, Plantago major, Rumex acetosella, Arena liirsuta, Poa annua, 

 Briza minor, Festuca bromoides, and Festuca myurus. 



Amongst the seventy species classed as endemic are about half a dozen so near Chilian 

 species that they might with equal propriety be regarded as races of the same species ; 

 these include apparently some of Philippi's species, such as Gnaplialium insulate and 

 Gnaphalium fernandezianum, of which there are, however, no authentically named 

 specimens at Kew. Making a slight deduction on this account, and adding about fifteen 

 of the non-endemic wild species, concerning which there can be little doubt that they are 

 indigenous, the number of indigenous flowering plants in Juan Fernandez and Masafuera 

 would amount to about seventy-five.

Species in Juan Fernandez or Masafuera.
