 in hb. Gr.) ; northern part, Snodgrass & Heller^ no. 673 (hb. Gr.). 

 Jeuvis Isl.: Baur, no. 89 (hb. Gr.). Further distrib. Centr. & S. Am. 

 Taubert, 1. c, distinguishes the Galapageian plant seen in the Vienna 

 Herbarium (coll. SleindacJiner'?^ as being villous-pubescent rather than 

 scabrous. The material of the species at hand shows variation in its 

 pubescence even upon the islands. 



Tephrosta, Pers.

 Baur (riot in hb. Gr.) ; Snodgrass & Heller, no. 545 (hb. Gr.). Inde- 

 fatigable Isl. : northern part, Snodgrass & Heller, no. 682 (hb. Gr.). 

 Narborough Isl. : abundant ace. to Mr. Heller's field notes. Sey- 

 mour Isl.: south, Snodgrass & Heller, no. 601 (hb. Gr.). Further 

 distrib. throughout trop. Am. The Galapageian plant often has a 

 velvety spreading pubescence on the stem, but is apparently only a form 

 of this common and widely distributed species. 



ViGNA, Savi.

 Gray, Bot. U. S. Expl. Exped. i. 450. V. owyhensis, var., Hook. f. 

 (3), 228. V. owaihensis, Anderss. (1), 251, & (2), 111. — James Isl.: 

 Darwin, a variety ace. to Hook, f., I. c, who also credits this Hawaiian 

 species to Chili. The identity of the Galapageian plant with the typical 

 Hawaiian needs further confirmation. Further distrib. Hawaiian Ids., 

 " Chili." Ace. to llemsl. in litt., a doubtful Viyna was secured on the 

 Galapagos Islands by Dr. Habel.
