2008. (2.) S. vaginaius, (H. et A.) ,• caule erecto fruticoso? 

 glabro subsimplici, foliis carnosis lineari-subulatis acutis 

 erecto-patentibus glabris supra canaliculatis subtus teretibus 

 basi dilatato-vaginatis in axillis (stipremis prscipue) lanatis, 

 capitulis paucis subcorymbosis, involucri lato-campanulati 

 subpubescentis foliolis acutis non sphacelatis basi bracteoh's 

 paucis parvis subulatis, ligulis 14 — 15 oblongo-linearibus 

 discum multiflorum subsequantibus. — Berkeley Sound, Falk- 

 land Island ; C Darwin, Esq., {n. 362. and 376.) — A very

 short in proportion to its breadth. Flowers rather large. 



2009. (3.) S. fnrimfer, (H. et A.) ; fruticosus pubescenti- 

 tomentosus, ramis elongatis ereclis gracilibus subangulatis, 

 superne subaphyllis, foliis lineari-subulatis mucronatis planis 

 integerrimis uninerviis, capitulis solitariis v. corymbosis ; in- 

 volucri campanulati farinoso-glanduliferi foliolis acurainatis 

 non sphacelatis basi pauci-bracteolatis, ligulis 10 — 12 lato- 

 linearibus discum sequantibus. — Near Vina de la Mar, Chili;

 The flowers moderately large ; in the older specimens more 

 than an inch across.
