The Argentine botanist, C. Spegazzini, has explored many 
parts of Argentina and also (1881) Kastern Fuegia. He has, tor 
the most part, published the results of his own researches. His 
herbarium, which is particularly rich in Cryptogams, is at La 
Plata. 
The Princess Therese von Bayern in 1898 made a journey 
in Chile and collected plants from the coastal districts, from 
Antofagasta to Coquimbo, and from the Cordilleras, near the 
Uspallata Pass. In Argentina she travelled from the Uspallata 
Pass to Mendoza, and thence to Buenos Aires (See Beih. Bot. 
Centrlb. xii, p. 1, 1902-3). 
N. Alboff has also studied the flora of South Fuegia (1896). P. 
Dusen (1895-1896) investigated the flora on both sides of the 
Magellan Straits. The results include the publications of 27 new 
species. (largely Compositae, Leguminosae, and Gramineae). 
Hatcher in 1896 and 1897 visited parts of southern Patagonia, and 
Nordenskjold, in 1898, explored from Punta Arenas to Ultima 
Esperanza, both making botanical collections. For the work of 
Skottsberg, see summary by the writer in the Kew Bulletin, 
1919, pp. 268-279. 
E. A. FitzGerald was accompanied by Philip Gosse in his ex- 
ploration of parts of the Andes. Grosse collected in the Las Cuevas 
and Horcones valleys a number of plants which were named by 
. H. Burkill, and are now at Kew. See FitzGerald, ‘‘ The 
Highest Andes,”’ pp. 370 seq., 1899. ! 
H. J. Elwes (1901-1902) collected plants and seeds in a 
“number of scattered localities belonging to different phytogeo- 
graphical areas ’’ in Chile and Argentina. His plants are at Kew. 
Robert Fries accompanied the Swedish Chaco-Cordillera Ex- 
pedition (1901-1902), which explored the mountains and high 
plateaux of the northern provinces of Argentina, especially the 
province of Jujuy. - His plants are partly at Upsala, partly at 
Stockholm. See his work, ‘“‘ Zur Kenntnis der alpinen Flora im

worked in San Luis, and Boman in the province of Buenos Aires, 
particularly at Chacabuco. » 
(in Spanish), and no complete systematic flora of Argentina has 
appeared. Reiche’s ‘ Flora de Chile ”’ is purely systematic.
