36 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



The specimens collected by Mr Moseley prove that Philippi's Eugenia lumitta is not 

 different from the older Myrtus fcrnandezianus. Scolder and Douglas's specimens, 

 quoted by Hooker and Arnott, do not exist at Kew. Philippi relies upon the description 

 in Gay (Flora Cbilena, ii. p. 392), " Arbolillo de varios pids de alto " for one of his 

 differences; but Bertero states (Annales des Sciences Naturelles, xxi. p. 345) that the 

 Luma or Temu was one of the commonest trees, sometimes attaining a prodigious size.

We have only seen Bertero's specimen in the Kew Herbarium. The genus is repre- 

 sented by many species in Chili, some of them closely allied to the insular forms ; and 

 there are three species in New Zealand.

Juan Fernandez. Reed. 



Bertero (1. c.) mentions this as an example of a New Zealand plant occurring in Juan 

 Fernandez, but it is probably merely a colonist in the island, as well as in Chili, for Gay's 

 only record is " the neighbourhood of Valparaiso, where Bertero met with it." 



UMBELLIFER/E.

Juan Fernandez. — Endemic. In woody, stony, elevated situations — Bertero, 1471 ;

This and Eryngium sarcophyllum are very distinct species of this widely diffused 

 genus, which is strongly represented in South America.
