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



A distinct species, apparently founded upon specimens destitute of both flowers and 

 fruit. Bertero describes it as a small tree three to six feet high. It is so different from 

 everything else from the island as to be unmistakable. Gay was of opinion that it was 

 the same as Dendroseris macrophylla, but it is wholly different.

Juan Fernandez. — Endemic. Shady woods in the higher mountains — Bertero. 



Another very distinct species, which is wanting in all recent collections. It was one 

 of the taller species collected by Bertero, growing ten to fifteen feet high, and bearing 

 enormous terminal panicles of very small flower-heads. 



Dendroseris mollis, Hook, et Arn.

Juan Fernandez. — Endemic. Stony woods in the higher mountains, at a place called 

 Portezuelo — Bertero. 



Like Dendroseris marginata, from the same locality, this species was founded on 

 specimens without flower-heads, and it is not in the Kevv set of Bertero's plants.

Juan Fernandez. — Endemic. In the valley of Pangal — Bertero. 



Perfectly distinct from all other species, yet not met with in any recent collections.
