REPOET ON THE BOTANY OF JUAN FERNANDEZ AND MASAFUERA. 33 



species, two of tliem, Edwardsia fernandeziana and Edwardsia reedeana, being peculiar 

 to Juan Fernandez, and Edwardsia masafuerana to Masafuera. He further describes 

 the Easter Island form as an independent species, which he calls Edwardsia toromiro, and 

 another Chilian form he raises to the same rank under the name Edwardsia cassioides. 

 Whether species or varieties, the genetic connection of all the forms is very close. 

 "Guyacan" is the name applied to Sophora tetraptera in Juan Fernandez.

Juan Fernandez. Reed; Moseley. 



A Chilian plant, not represented in any of the earlier collections from Juan Fernandez, 

 where it may be of recent introduction. The glochidiate prickles of the fruit cling readily 

 to foreign objects, and the seeds are thus often carried long distances.
