CäNDOLLE, C. de, Sur le calice du Liinclia Damaz'il C. DC. 

 (Bull. herb. Boissier. 2^ Ser. T. V. 1905. p. 228—230.) 



Cette nouvelle espece du genre Lundia presente un caractere qui 

 la rapproche du genre Phryganiocydia et qui consiste en ce que, au 

 moment de la floraison, la corolle sort par une fente laterale du calice. 

 En examinant de jeunes ileurs, on voit que le sommet du calice est 

 muni d'un tube bien constitue; mais il cesse bientöt de s'accroitre, ce 

 qui le rend impropre ä livrer passage ä la corolle L'auteur fait ob- 

 server qu'on peut comparer ce tube inutile du calice ä un style d'ovaire.

The author finds that in the case of G. Lyallii var. ribifolia of the 

 dry eastern region the prevalent opinion that this species is an ever- 

 green below 3000 feet, is incorrect; probably the type, which grows in 

 the weiter western region, is also deciduous at all altitudes.

The list includes Carex Darwinii, Boott. var. w/o/i?/?/5 (Franchy) Kük., 

 which had not previously been recorded from the New Zealand bio- 

 logica! region; it forms another link between the floras of New Zea- 

 land and South America (previously only knov/n from Patagonia).
