326 FLOKA OK SOUTH AMERICA AND THE PACIFIC. 



subvillosa, foliis spathulatis pinnatifidis segmentis ovalibus 

 hinc vel utrinque margine inciso-dentatis inferioribus minori- 

 bus discretis superioribus raajoribus arete approximatis, in- 

 volucri foliolis 5 uniserialibus margine scariosis. — Cape 

 Horn, Staten Land ; Dr Eights. Cape Tres Monies ; C. 



Darwin, Esq ^. major; minus villosa, foliis glabriusculis 



segmentis niagis discretis, capitulis majoribus. — Fields at 

 Chumpulla, near Valdivia; Bridges, {n. 756.) — In our spe- 

 cimens from Mr Bridges, there are no traces of ligulate or 

 marginal female florets, but those of the disk are male in as 

 far as the styles are simple, as in Blennospermum. Ovaries 

 of the male flowers, obovate, compressed, glabrous, and ap- 

 parently bialate. 



1 192. (1.) Soliva sessilis, R. P DC. Prodr. vi. p. 143.— 



Valparaiso; Cuming, (n. 475.); Bridges, (n. 539.) Buenos 

 Ayres ; Dr Gillies, Tweedie. — The wing of the achenium 

 has, as it were, a piece cut out on each side near the base ; 

 and we are of opinion, that the Soliva pterosperma, Less., and 

 DC, {Gymnostylis, Juss.) and the Gymnostylis Chilensis and 

 alata of Sprengel, all belong to this species. 



1 193. (2.) S. araulis (H. & A.) ; Acaulis, foliis longe petio- 

 latis pilosiusculis bipinnatisectis, segmentis anguste oblongo- 

 linearibus, acutis, capitulis sessilibus radicalibus congestis, 

 acheniis anguste oblongis alis crassiusculis transversim rugulo- 

 sis apice villosis in cornua brevissima patentia excurrentibus. 

 — Buenos Ayres; Tweedie. This seems to be very closely 

 allied to S. Lusitanica, Less. [Hippia stolonifera, Brot.) Is 

 it not possible that this, the only species accounted Europe- 

 an, may have been introduced by the Portuguese from Bue- 

 nos Ayres ? We have not seen any plant agreeing with S. 

 no sturtii folia, (Juss.) said to be from Buenos Ayres. 



Subtrib. VIII. GNAPHALiEiE, Less. 



1194. (1.) Helichrysum (Sect. I. Less.); Ckilense H. & A. 

 araneoso-lanata, caule simplici vel ad apicem solummodo 

 corymboso polyphyllo, foliis inferioribus spathulatis obtusis 

 superioribus sensim minoribus aculiusculis, capitulis glomera-
