 coarctatum ; Hook, et Am. But. of Beech. Voy., p. 31. — Bue-

 Pampas of Buenos Ayres; Dr Gillies. Conception, Chili; 

 Cuming, (n. 128.) Valdivia, (n. 643, 644.) and Valparaiso; 

 Bridges. Chronos Archipelago; C Darwin, Esq., {n. 333.) — 

 A very variable species assuredly : we possess specimens from 

 six inches to a foot and a half full, and leaves from one to 

 six inches long. We fear that Gn. Americanum is not 

 distinct from this, and we believe it will be found very 

 general on the North and South American continents. We 

 have specimens from Peru, Columbia and Mexico, West In-

 sylvaticum and its varieties of Europe.

 Buenos Ayres; Tweedie. Port George, Patagonia; King's 

 Voyage. — This again is sometimes difficult to be distinguish- 

 ed from the preceding. The glomerules of capitula are less 

 compactly spiked ; but it seems to pass into G. spicatum, and 

 it is hardly possible accurately to define any of the species of 

 De Candolle's group, " Capittdis in spicam racemosam dispo-
