CUCURBTTACEiE. 

 Sicyos bryoniaefolius, Moris. 



Sicyos bryoniafolius, Moris, Enum. Sem. Hort. Taurin, 1S31J; Cogniaux in DC. Monogr. Phanerog., 



iii. p. 884. 

 Sicyos badaroa, Hook, et Am. in Hook. Bot. Miseel., iii. p. 32-1; Gay, Fl. Cliil., ii. p. 410; Pliilippi 



in Bot. Zeit., 1870, p. 498. 



San Ambkosio. Simpson. 



Common in Peru and Chili, especially in maritime localities. 



UMBELLIFEILE. 



Apiuna, sp ? Pliilippi. 



Apium, sp. 1 Pliilippi in Bot. Zeit., 1870, p. 499. 



San Aiibeosio. Simpson. 



A branch without flowers or fruit, smelling strongly of celery. Pliilippi could only 

 vouch that it is not Apium chilensc, for the branch is not farrowed, and the segments 

 of the leaves are much narrower, quite linear, and quite entire. 



COMPOSITE. 

 Lycapsus tenuifolius, Pliilippi. 



Lycapsus tenuifolius, Pliilippi in Bot. Zeit., 1870, p. 499, t. 8a, fig. 1-5 ; Benth. et Hook., Gen. Plant., 

 ii. p. 240 (sub Aloma). 



Sax Ajibrosio. — Endemic — Simpson ; Coppinger. 



Simpson's specimen bore flower-heads ; but Coppinger's, from the rocks south of the 

 mainland, though otherwise ample, are destitute of both flowers and fruit. It is a shrubby 

 plant, with rather slender branches, and finely cut, deeply pinnatifid, somewhat fleshy 

 leaves. Pliilippi regarded it as the type of a new genus of the suborder Eupatoriaceae. 

 In its shrubby habit it is very different from Aloma, which Bentham and Hooker, from 

 the description and figure, think it may be ; but we have no material to test its claims to 

 generic rank. 



Dendroseris .1 lacerata, Hemsl. 



Rea ? lacerata, Pliilippi in Bot. Zeit., 1870, p. 499, t. 8a, fig. 6. 



San Ambrosio. — Endemic — Simpson ; Coppinger. 



Philippi founded this species on a single leaf and Simpson's oral information that the 

 stem was about an inch thick, soft, with a milky juice, and only little branched at the 

 ends, with the leaves crowded at the end of the branches. Coppinger's specimens, col-
