Suffrutex pedalis. Rami crassiusculi, inferiores lignosi, superiores medio incrassati, sub- 
articulati, nodosi, internodiis 2-uncialibus. Folia 11-2 unc. longa, sub 11 lata, valdé 
coriacea, patentia, suprà medio obscuré sulcata, infrà nervo medio crasso lateralibus 
evanidis. Spica ut in B. nudicaule. 
Very similar to the last, though with leaves and branches perfectly glabrous 
and more or less glaucous; the former also are more numerous, broader, 
smooth and glaucous, especially underneath, and their margins not at all 
recurved. The only flowers are loose on the sheets with the specimens.

tomis glaberrimis, ramulis ultimis junioribus parcé pubescentibus, foliis 
elongatis anguste filiformibus glaberrimis carnosis ?, spicis terminalibus 
axillaribusque sessilibus ter-quaternis cylindraceis densifloris, floribus 
ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis extüs pubescentibus. 
Hab. James Island, Dr. Scouler. 
Folia 1-2-uncialia, sub 1 lin. lata, siccitate compressa. Perianthii segmenta subcuspidata, 
Readily distinguishable from B. glauca by its leaves, and from B. nudicaulis 
by the very different shape of the flowers. 
95. FnaLicHIA NUDICAULIS, Hook. fil. ; erecta, virgata, ramis elongatis nudis 
teretibus striatis glaberrimis 3-4-chotomé ramosis aphyllis, spicis fructi- 
feris terminalibus brevé pedicellatis, bracteis latè ovatis concavis scariosis, 
perianthio villoso-barbato ampullaceo ore 5-fido laté bialato crasso crus- 
taceo utriculum parvum includente:—Bucholtzie nudicaulis exemplar 
fructiferum ? 
Hab. Charles Island, Charles Darwin, Esq. 
Under Bucholtzia nudicaulis are given the reasons for retaining this in a 
separate genus. "The more remarkable points of difference between the pre- 
sent plant, of which I have only seen ripe fruit, and that where the spikes are 
only in flower, consist in the absence of foliage and in there being no hairs on
