24 TLORA OF SOUTH AMERICA AND THE PACIFIC. 



polycephalis, invol. campanulati squamis lanceolatis ciliatc 

 erosis $ latioribus rnagis fimbriatis, ? angustioribus, achaenio 



glabro. DC. Molina parviflora. E. et P. ? Baccliaris parvi- 



flora, Pers. non Poir Valparaiso. Gaudlchaud. — De Can- 



dolle seems to have tliawii up his character from Cliilian 

 specimens, and doubts if those from Peru should be considered 

 the same species. 



1051. (8). B. Feuillei {DC. Prodr. v. />. 403) ; frutescens, 

 pube minutissima subpulverulenta, ramis teretibus substriatis, 

 foliis breviter petiolatis lanceolatis utrinque attenuatis grosse 

 serratis triplinerviis, capitulis $ in corymbos compositos ter- 

 minales subaphyllos digestis 18 — 20 floris, invol. ovati squamis 

 lanceolatis acutis stramineis. DC. — Feuill. Per. et Chil. ii. p. 

 750. t. 37. — Chili? — De Candolle does not indeed give this 

 as an inhabitant of Chili, but the species is founded on the 

 Cony za frutescens, Sic. of Feuillee, which, though not expressly 

 stated, we believe to be a native of Chili, and the same with 

 P. glutinosa, Pers., under which species De Candolle again 

 quotes it in the Prodromus. Perhaps B. Feuillei and B, 

 marginalis ought both to be referred to B. glutinosa.

 glaberrima viscosa, foliis lanceolatis coriaceis grosse serratis

 corymbo breviter pedunculate, capitulis 5 campanulatis, invo-

 {n. 1210.) — An extensively dispersed and variable plant. 

 The leaves are more or less broad, more or less dense, toothed 

 and entire, more or less viscid, and more or less coriaceous. 

 The involucre of the female capitula resembles the male's. 

 In all, it is broadly campanulate, somewhat squarrose, of a 

 singularly dry character; the scales are ovate, stramineous,
