Parictaria L. Some 30 sp.; in all parts of the globe. Several medit. -orient., others 

 N. and S. Amer., one [P. debilis Forst.) supposed so be widely distributed. 



/luniifiisa Rich. Chile. Until now listed as debilis which, in Weddell's mon- 

 ograph, is a collective species. I have shown [2^1) that Forster's species from 

 Australia, New Zealand and Polynesia has little to do with the forms referred to 

 this but occurring elsewhere and that none of the specimens from S. Amer. seen 

 by me belong to true debilis. Pending a revision of the genus, Jinmifusa is a cor- 

 rect name for the Chilean plant. 



Loranthaceae. 



Phrygilantlius hjchl. About 30; bicentric: Mex.-Braz. and Chile, Argent., Urug.; 

 Austral., X. Zeal., X. (kiin., Philipp. Is. 



Berteroi (Ih^ok. et Arn.) Reiche. Related to Andean sp. 



Santalaceae. 



Sautaluui L. 18; Austral. ~X. Guin. 5, Melan. 2, Polyn. 2, Hawaii 7, Bonin i, and 

 the following. See 2?^ and 270. 



fernandezianutn ¥. Phil. P^xtinct. Belongs to sect. Polynesica Skottsb.; not, 

 as has been said (///), related to S. freycinetiaimni of Hawaii which belongs to a 

 different section {2'/6). 



Chenopodiaceae. 



Clie)iopodiu})i L. Over 250; world-wide, but essentially temp. 



Sanctae Clarae Johow, crusoeanum Skottsb. and nesodendron Skottsb. On 

 my request Dr. P. Aei.LKX, who created sect. Skottsbergia to receive the three 

 island endemics, sent me the following remarks: "Ich wiirde sagen, dass die drei 

 Arten zu kciner der uns heute bekanntgewordenen Arten irgendwelche verwandt- 

 schaftliche Zijge und l^eziehungen aufvveisen. P^s sind vollig isolierte Typen, Re- 

 Hkte eines im Meere versunkenen Plorenreiches." Evidently Dr. Aellen does 

 not support the idea that they are related lo pajiiculatum Hook. (X. Amer., Peru- 

 Chile) or oahuejise Meyen (Plawaii), which latter has the same arboreous habit. 

 Salicorjiia L. Widely distributed, about 30 sp. 



fruticosa L. (peruviana Kunth). Taken in a wide sense Mediterr., S. Afr., W. 

 Ind., Polyn.; peruricvia, \V. coast of S. Amer. to S. Chile. 



Aizoaceae. 



Tetragojiia P. About 25 s[). Strongly represented in S. Afr., several sp. in Chile. 

 expajisa Murr. Coasts and islands of the Pacific; Braz. 



Caryophyllaceae. 



Spergularia Presl. A widely scattered genus of about 40 sp.; numerous in Chile. 

 eojifertijioya Steud. San Ambrosio. Related to species from Centr. Chile. 

 masafuerana Skottsb. Related to the former and to S. media (L.) Presl.
