342 FLORA ANTARCTICA. [Fuegia, the 



Hab. Strait of Magalhaens, Commerson ; Port Famine, Capt. King ; Fuegia, Banks and Solander, 

 Forster, fyc. 



This very handsome plant seems confined to the extreme southern part of South America, without, however, 

 reaching Cape Horn itself; it is very nearly allied to the Chilian E. lanceolotum, R. and P., but differs in the 

 nervation of the leaves.

Like the former, this species has a very confined range, inhabiting the country between Yaldivia and the 

 Chonos Archipelago, including Chiloe, on the west side of the Andes only ; and, according to Cavanilles, it is 

 limited to places occasionally overflowed by the sea. Mr. Bridges states that the native name is " Romarilla ".

This plant, of which I have examined specimens gathered by Capt. King on the Patagonian coast, is very 

 probably only a variety of the A. tuberosa, Cav., of the same country, which varies in the size of the leaves, and in 

 their being smooth, pubescent, or tomeutose. In Capt. King's specimens they vary from 1-4 lines long.
