334 FLORA OF SOUTH AMERICA AND THE" PACIFIC. 



glandular pubescence, longer and narrower leaves, the lobes 

 more numerous, short, but frequently toothed, as well as the 

 rachis, giving a ragged appearance to the margin of the 

 leaves. Our S. bipinnafifidus, Bot. of Beech. Voy. p. 32, is 

 probably not different from this.

 Coquimbo; Cuming, (n. 859.) — Tiie very ragged appearance 

 of the leaves, from the irregular manner in which they are 

 divided, is quite peculiar, as far as we know, to this species : 

 the segments are much acuminated. The texture is thin, 

 and there is an indistinct reticulated venation. Yet there is 

 a good deal of similarity of habit in this and the two preced- 

 ing species.

Alto de los Manantiales, Andes of Mendoza; Dr Gillies.~A 

 very singular looking, tortuous, little, shrubby plant; so woolly, 

 especially in the axils of the leaves, that the branches look like 

 those of some of the South American woolly Talma. Leaves 

 short, scarcely half-an-inch long, rigid, pungent. Leaflets of 

 the involucre singularly pale, and diaphanous at the margins.
