 (foem.) C. Darwin, Esq. {n. 322 and 326.) — A humble dwarf 

 shrub, with something the habit of Salix herbacea. Leaves 

 small, and almost spathulate in our female plant, viscid and 

 quite entire ; in our male, shining as if varnished, some of 

 them tridentate. 



1059. (16.) B.cuneifolia (DC. Prodr. v. p. 406); fruticu- 

 losa demissa glabra viscosa ramosissima, ramulis subangula- 

 tis, foliis sessilibus confertis coriaceis obovato-cuneatis obtusis 

 ad apicem obtuse repando-subdentatis, capitulis ad apices ra- 

 mulorum sessilibus confertis. DC. — Conyza cunelfolia. Lam. 

 Diet. — Straits of Magelhaens [Lamarck) ; at Port Egniont. 

 {Nee). I think there can be little doubt that this is the same 

 with the preceding. De Candolle is properly disposed to 

 reject the Brazilian specimens which have been referred to 

 this. They perhaps belong to our following species. 



1060. (17.) B. iridentata {Vahl, Symb. iii./?. 98); glabra 

 fruticosa, raniis angulato-striatis, foliis sessilibus cuneato- 

 spathulatis obtusis punclatis trinerviis (nervis lateralibus 

 obsoletis) infra apicem utrinque unidentatis, capitulis ^ et ? 

 sessilibus axillaribus cyiindraceis subsexfloris versus apicem 

 ramorum subglomeratis, involucri squamis panels exterioribus 

 ovatis int. oblongis enerviis. — DC. Prodr. v. p. 409. — South 

 Brazil. Tweedie. (n. 994). — The young leaves are glutinous, 

 all of them of a reddish-brown in the dry state, the form 

 between cuneate and spathulate, with 2 lateral opposite and 

 one larger intermediate or terminal tooth. Pappus in the 

 female flowers reddish, longer than the involucre. It seems 

 to an-ree well with De Candolle's character and that of Vahj. 

 But there is probably more than one species from the differ- 

 ent localities given by De Candolle under thia plant.
