PHYTOGRAPHIC NOTES AND AMENDMENTS. 57 
were Allocarya and Sonnea. It is true that not only these 
but all the genera new and old which I then defended, are 
sustained by Baillon in his Histoire and also by Engler & 
Prantl; but until last year I felt more or less apprehension 
that Allocarya at least might be found to have some North 
European representatives; and that some such possible 
species might have been elevated to generic rank, under a 
name that might antedate the publication of the earliest 
pages of Pittonia. I had been not without apprehension 
that Hritrichium obovatum, A. DC., might prove to be an 
Allocarya; but on seeing good material of this at Kew, I 
discovered at once that it has no intimate connection with 
the Northwest American plants. It is a Lappula, rather. 
But the following are at complete agreement, both in habit 
and character with ALLOCARYA. 
A. Australasica. Lritrichium Australasicum, A. DC. 
Prodr. x. 134. Native of Australia, and resembling A. 
plebeia of the Aleutian Islands; but the nutlets are more 
incurved than in any North American species. DeCandolle 
describes the corolla as yellow. In all the other known 
species they are white, but with a yellow band or circle sur- 
rounding the orifice of the short corolla-tube, and this is 
probably the real case here also. 
A. albiflora. Zritrichium albiflorum, Griseb, in Gestt. 
Abh. vi. 131. Species indigenous to the Straits of Magellan. 
A. tenuifolia. Krynitzkia tenuifolia (Schlecht.), A 
Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. xx. 267=Eritrichium tenutfolium, 
Schlecht. Mss. in Lechler’s Plants Chilenses. Native of 
Chile
