nima, Walp., W. graminifolia, Benth., W. hrachypappa, cherlerioides, smdi 

 apiculata, Schultz Bip. Andes of Chili and of Peru. 



Werneria c^spitosa, TVedd., which was long ago collected by 

 Dombey, on the high Andes of Peru. 



Werneria carnulosa (sp. nov.) : acaulis, cajspitosa, parva (polli- 

 caris), undique glabra; rhizomate ci'asso fere lignoso raraoso ; foliis con- 

 fertissirais linearibus vel spathulatis brevibus integeiTimis obtusissimis 

 carnosis capitulum sessile vix aequantibus ; involucro 12-lobo, lobis tube 

 parum brevioribus lineari-oblongis obtusis apice ciliolatis; ligulis nullis; 

 acheniis glabris ; antheris luteis. — High Andes of Peru. 



Werneria strigosissma (sp. nov.) : ctespitosa, subpollicaris ; rhi- 

 zonaate ramoso crasso repente ; foliis rosulatis brevibus spathulatis inte- 

 gerrimis capitulum sessile fulcrantibus cum involucro 10- 14-fido stri- 

 gosissimis ; vaginis crinitis ; ligulis exsertis ; styli ramis apice truncato 

 hispidulo penicillatis et appendice setaeea auctis ; achenio pubescente ; 

 pappo rigidulo. — High Andes of Peru near Casa Cancha. Bristles 

 of the leaves themselves denticulate, or the larger ones resolved above 

 into a tuft of slender hairs. 



Werneria ciliolata (sp. nov.) : csespitosa, ramosissima, depressa, 

 glaberrima ; ramis brevibus confertissime foliosis ; foliis (saipe oppo- 

 sitis) linearibus subcomplicatis vel canaliculatis acutiusculis subcarnosis 

 sub lente spinuloso-ciliolatis ; capitulis sessilibus ; involucro cylindraceo 

 plurieostato 8-fido, lobis triangulato-lanceolatis obtusis subscariosis, 

 costa valida ; ligulis paucis brevibus ; styli ramis truncatis apiculo brevi 

 vel obsolete ; acheniis glabris. — High Andes of Peru, near Alpa- 

 marca. 



Werneria digitata, Wedd. A scanty specimen was collected 

 along with the preceding and the succeeding species, exhibiting some 

 minor discrepancies from Weddell's description. The leaves bear some 

 woolly hairs ; their lobes are incrassated, although far less so than in 

 the following, and are blunt, instead of acute ; a few of them are truly 

 opposite. Involucre costate or nerved ; the divisions 1 3 to 20, scarcely 

 if at all longer than the tube. The branches of the style, as well in the 

 ray as in the disk, sometimes bear a conspicuous, slender, setiform ap- 

 pendage (either naked or sparingly setulose) ; sometimes this is obso- 

 lete, or not distinguishable from the coarse hairs of the truncate obtuse 

 summit. 



Werneria dacttlophtlla, Schultz Bip. This extraordinary 

 species was first detected by Dombey. On account of the habit, the
