An evergreen tree, growing to the height of 12 feet. The 
leaves are 24-3 inches long, 14-2 inches broad, on a petiole 
1 inch long; one or two peduncles grow out of each axil, 
4 lines long, each bearing on its apex three one-flowered pedi- 
cels, 3 lines long, between two minute bracts; the sepals are 
1 line long, the petals 13 line*. 
I collected also, in the province of Aconcagua, the variety 
Andina, described by Philippi (Linn. xxxii. p. 31), and dis- 
tinguished by its much thicker leaves. 
2. Aristotelia glabra, n. sp.;—foliis oppositis, oblongis vel 
lanceolato-oblongis, imo acutis, apice obtusis, membrana- 
ceils, marginibus subrevolutis, integris vel obsolete glandu- 
loso-serratis, undique glaberrimis, reticulato-venosis, sub- 
concoloribus ; petiolo tenuissimo, glabro, supra canaliculato, 
apice minutissime 2-glanduloso, limbo 3-4-plo breviore : 
racemis in ramulis novellis axillaribus, glaberrimis, rachi 
tenuissima, petiolo paulo longioribus, 3—4-floris.—In Chile : 
v. v. et s. (Prov. Quillota); v. s. in herb. Mus. Brit. (Hort. 
Kew. cult. A.D. 1779). 
This is very distinct from the preceding, in its very glabrous 
leaves, sometimes acutely narrowed at the base, upon more 
slender petioles ; they are 2-23 inches long, 3-14 inch broad, 
upon a petiole 6-9 lines long; the peduncle of the raceme is 
6 lines long, its pedicels 2-3 lines long, sometimes abortively 
with only one or two flowers. 
* A drawing of this plant, with copious analytical details, will be given 
in my ‘ Contributions,’ plate 80.
