Hab. South Chili, Fuegia, and the Falkland Islands ; Commerson, Banks and Solander, and all suc- 

 ceeding voyagers. 



In the first part of this work (p. 37 in obs.) I have mentioned how closely this genus is allied to Euryhia and 

 to Olearia, agreeing with the former in the oblong involucre and uniseriate pappus, and with the latter in habit 

 through Olearia oporiua (0. semidentata, Decaisne in Voy. Venus ; druica oporina,Forst.). It diners from both 

 in the presence of bnear scales occasionally mixed with the flowers of the disc. 



The present is the tallest dicotyledonous plant in the Falkland Islands, except Feronica elliptica, which is 

 exceedingly rare. It attains a height of about 4-5 feet, and forms a brushwood along the banks of streams
