 Valparaiso; Bridges, (ii. 229.) Chronos Archipelago; C. 

 Darwin, Esq. (n. 332.) — We adopt the name of Kunze, 

 which, according to De Candolle, was given in Poeppig's 

 collection of dried specimens the year before our description 

 appeared in the Botany of Beechey's Voyage. We believe 

 that a very limited number of that dried collection was on 

 sale, if they were on sale at all ; and we have long endeav- 

 oured to obtain access to a set, but in vain. De Candolle 

 gives G. Piravira of Lessing as the same as this, and he 

 places it, though we think incorrectly, in his § Axanthina.
