 inhabit Chili, and the third is a native of the region of 

 the Magellan Straits and New Zealand. Flowers white, 

 solitary or few, in the axils of the leaves ; pedicels slender ; 

 perianth deciduous ; segments distinct, sub-equal, spread- 

 ing. Berry sub-globose, indehiscent. Leaves often sessile, 

 alternate, rather small, oblong-elliptic, prominently three 

 to many-nerved. Stems shrubby, glabrous. The species 

 thrive on turfa of fibry peat, or attached to stems of 

 Tree Ferns. They like shade and moisture. Propagated 

 by cuttings.
