This is distinct from the two preceding species, in the smaller 

 size of its obovate leaves, and its smaller flowers, as well as in 

 the shape of its stipules. The discolorous feature of its leaves is 

 common to every species of this genus. The spines are | to 

 1 inch long; the leaves are 5 lines long, 2h lines broad, on a 

 petiole barely 1 hne in length ; the peduncle is 2 lines Ion"- ; 

 the tube of the calyx is | line long, the same in diameter, ancl 

 its short revolute teeth are only I line in length : the peduncle 

 in fruit becomes thicker ; it is then 3 lines long, and is deflected • 

 the 3-coccous fruit is 2 lines in diameter; it is sometimes 

 4-coccous. 



5. Notophcena Mafjellanica, n. sp. ; — sufiFruticosa, inermis, sub 

 Icnte pilosula, ramulis subangulatis, sub-4-gonis, axillis ap- 

 proximatis; foliis parvulis, ovato-oblongis, utrinque obtusis, 

 vcl imo subcuneatis, carnosulis, margine integerrimis, vel 

 obsolete dentatis, supra nitidis, viridibus, subtus pallidis, 

 nervis omnino immersis, petiolo brevissimo, stipulis prje- 

 cedentis ; floribus parvis, in axillis oppositis, utrinque 3, fas- 

 ciculatis, 4-meris. — In Fretum Magellanicum. — v. s. in herb. 

 Mus. Paris, Sandy Point (Lechlcr, 1029, sub nom. CoUetia 

 discolor) ; in herb. Hook., Cordillera de Arauco (Lechler 

 2994). 



This is a well-marked species ; its branchlets have a greyish 

 bark ; its axillary nodes are 4 or 5 lines apart, and in the young 

 branchlets 2 lines apart ; the leaves are simply ojjposite, 21-3 

 lines long, 1 { line broad, on a short petiole : the flowers are sniall, 

 the peduncle being 1 line long; the calyx, including its sc"-- 

 mcnts, is of the same length, and ^ line diameter*. 



6. Notophcena tomentosn. CoUetia tomentosa, Philippi, Linnaa, 

 xxviii. 018 ; — ramis cincrco-tomcntosis ; foliis parvis, obovatis 

 la?te viridibus, pubcsccntibus, adpresse serratis : stipulis mi- 

 nutis, ovato-lanceolatis, fuscis; floribus subfascicuiatis ; pe- 

 dunculis 1-floris, glabris, calycem glabnim requautibus, caly- 

 cibus tubulosis, dentibus rcflcxis tubum diinidium rcquantibus • 



pctalis nuUis, staminibus styloqne calycem Jcquantibus.
