314 FLORA ANTARCTICA, \Fuegia, the 



This plant is certainly not indigenous to the Southern Hemisphere ; but carried to the Falkland Islands, where 

 it is widely dispersed.

 pigero, foliis petiolatis ad avjicem caulis fasciculatis carnosis liiieari-spatbulatis grosse dentatis, scapo erecto 

 solitario 1-cephalo fokis 2-3 subulatis aucto superne puberulo, capitulo late campanulato, involucri squamis 

 glaberrirnis lineari-lanceolatis disco brevioribus.

Caulis 1-2-pollicaris, teres, crassitie pennse corvinae, basi decumbente nudo, apice ascendente folioso. Folia 

 perplurima, fasciculata, basi vaginantia et imbricata, 1-1-i-uncialia, gradatim dilatata, grosse serrato-dentata, plana. 

 Scopus erectus, teres, siccitate sulcatus, 3-4-pollicaris, foliis parvis subulatis filifonnibusve auctus. Capitulum 

 inclinatmn, i-f unc. longum, late campanulatum. Involucri squama? lineari-lanceolatse, glaberrimas, sub 1-seriales 

 basi squamulis paucis subulatis suffultae, disco breviores. 



Capt. King's specimens of this apparently distinct species are the only ones I have ever seen, it is truly sca- 

 pigerous, allied in habit to the S. trifurcatus, Less., which has radiate flowers, and still more nearly to S. crithnoides, 

 H. and A., of Mendoza, which is suffratescent and branched below. 



10. Senecio Arnottii, Hook. fil. ; glaberrimus v. obsolete glanduloso-puberulus, erectus, suffrutescens, 

 ramis erectis foliosis simpkcibus, foliis solitariis subfasciculatisve coriaceis late linearibus v. oblongo-lineari- 

 lanceolatis acutis integerrimis marginibus revolutis costa subter puberula, corymbis terrniualibus 4-12- 

 ceplialis, pedicellis elongatis foliolis subulatis bracteatis, capitulis late carnpaiiulatis, involucri squamis 

 anguste lineari-lanceolatis acurniuatis. S. limbardioides, Hook, et Am. in Bot. Jotim. vol. iii. p. 347. 



Hab. Strait of Magalhaens, Port Famine; Capt. King. 



Rami stricti, erecti, petioli pedicellique sub leute pube sparsa obscure glandulosa operti. Folk l-\\ unc. 

 longa, 2-3 lin. lata, sessilia, coriacea v. subcarnosula, plana v. plermnque marginibus recurvis, e ramulis axfllaribus 

 abbreviatis foliiferis quasi fasciculata. Pedicelli erecti, li- 2-unciales, foliis subidatis linearibusve acuminatis brac- 

 teolati. Capitula \ unc. longa, latiora quam longa. 



Allied to 8. Uttoralis, Gaud., a radiate-flowered species. One specimen from Chiloe, collected by Mr. Darwin, 

 has broadly linear leaves, a few of which shew a tendency to become toothed towards the apex. The name of 

 S. Umbardioides, having been through inadvertence twice used in the Botanical Journal (1. c), I have changed that 

 of this species. 



11. Senecio longipes, Hook. fil. ; glabriusculus v. superne pracipue glanduloso-pubescens, ramis erectis 

 simplicibus strictiusculis, foliis plerisque fascicidatis anguste linearibus filiformibiisve acutis basi attenuatis 

 apicem versus serratis marginibus revolutis, corymbis 3-7-cephalis, pedicellis valde elongatis, brac- 

 teolis sabulato-filiformibus, capitulis late carnpaiiulatis, involucri squamis 1-serialibus glandulosis disco 

 brevioribus. 



Hab. Strait of Magalhaens, Port Famine ; Capt. King. 



Priori affinis sed gracilior, foliis inultoties angustioribus dentatis pedicellisque valde elongatis. 



All Capt. King's specimens agree in possessing much narrower leaves and longer pedicels than the former 

 species, so that, though probably oidy varieties of one plant, I am unable to prove them so. 



12. Senecio miser, Hook. fil. ; suffruticosus, depressus, pubescenti-viscosus, caule ascendente ramoso 

 cicatricato, ramis suberectis breviusculis foliosis, foliis coriaceis subcrispatis anguste lineari-spathulatis irre-
