346 FLORA OF SOUTH AMERICA AND THE PACIFIC. 



2057. (51.) S. linearilobus, (H. et A.) ; herbaceus, ramis 

 angulato-striatis, foliis linearibus profunde pinnatifidis laci- 

 niis remotis lineari-elongatis acutis flexuosis, corymbis poly- 

 cephalis, involucri hemisphserico-campanulati ecalyculati 

 foliolis lanceolatis acutis striatis apice sphacelatis corollis 

 brevioribus. — Buenos Ayres; Tweedie — (3. foliis capitulisque 

 niajoribus, Chili ; Mr Cruikshanks, — Leaves 2 — 3 inches 

 lonfj, the laciniae H inch long. Leaves and involucres a 

 good deal resembling those of the preceding C. leptophyllus ; 

 but the lobes of the former are not at all subulate, and the 

 scales of the latter are much broader. In our var. /3. the 

 leaves and capitules are larger. 



205S. (52.) S. chrysocomoides, (H. et A.) ; fruticosus gla- 

 berrimus, ramis fasciculatis, foliis linearibus rectis profunde 

 pinnatifidis laciniis anguste linearibus paucis (2 — 4) brevibus 

 rectis, corymbis oligocephalis (capitulis 2 — 5) bracteatis 

 (bracteis acerosis), involucri ovati basi acuti longe calyculati 

 foliis subdecem laxis subulatis corollis brevioribus. — East 

 coast of Patagonia ; Dr Eights, (n. 54.) — Apparently a small 

 and very distinct plant. Branches fascicled, a span high. 

 Capitula, broadest upward, about one-fourth of an inch in 

 diameter. 



2059. (53.) S. vulgaris, L. — Gaudin. in Ann. Sc. Nat. v. p. 

 104. — Berkeley Sound; Falkland islands; C. Dartvin, Esq., 

 {n. 364.) — Probably introduced by means of European 

 vessels. 



2060. (54.) S. trijidus, (H. et A.); fruticosus nanus gla- 

 berrimus, ramis brevibus crassis tortuosis, foliis carnosis line- 

 aribus apice trifidis supra canaliculatis segmentis obtusis, 

 capitulo terminali solitario subsessili, involucre ....?— 



Summits of the Andes of Mendoza; Dr Gillies A small 



woody species with thick wool, and short crooked branches 

 scarcely rising above the surface of the soil and densely 

 covered with fleshy leaves half an inch long, and about 

 half a line wide. The capitula are too imperfect for descrip- 

 tion, but vve believe the plant is certainly of this genus. 



2061. (55.) S. tricuspidatus, (H. et A.); fruticosus glaber-
