22 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY. 



Macl., p. 138: 



LYCOPODIUM SELAGO Linn. 



Stems erect, dichotomous, forming a level top ; spore-cases in axils of 

 the ordinary dark-green, shining, 8-ranked leaves of its summit. 



Falkland Is. (var.). (See Flora Antarctica, II, p. 394.) 



Note. Philippi has described Lycopodium chonoticum from the Chonos 

 Archipelago see Linnaea, Bd. 29, p. 108 and compared it with Lyco- 

 podium paniculatum Remy. Philippi's diagnosis is short and agrees well 

 with the description of L. paniculatum with the exception of the number 

 of spikes which are geminate in L. chonoticum. Philippi's species repre- 

 sents, perhaps, only a variety of L. paniculatum. 



Having seen no specimen of L. chonoticum I prefer to draw attention 

 to the possible occurrence of L. selago L. a species or variety of a species 

 of Lycopodium in our district. (P. D.) 



Lycopodium selago is northern, especially European, an isophyte, 

 rejoicing in temperate climates, and surroundings. Some of its varieties 

 are subantarctic ; the L. selago var. Aschersonii is domesticated' in the 

 Falkland Is. 



PHANEROGAMIA. 



Family i. PINACE.E. Macl., p. 140. 



Araucaria has dioecious flowers, and the pollen not winged. A. 

 imbricata has edible seeds. 



N. B. Araucaria imbricata Pav. Macl., p. 141, never occurs along 

 with Fitzroya patagonica Hook. fil. Araucaria forests are met with in the 

 coast Cordillera up to a height of about 1,500 m. and in the Cordillera up to 

 i ,800 m. In S. Chili, to the south of 34 30' lat; N. Patagonia to 45 30' 

 lat, principally on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera, also along the 

 uppermost rivers forming gallery-forest; is also distributed on the west 

 side of the Cordillera, viz., in the uppermost section of the evergreen 

 forest.

LlBOCEDRUS CHILENSIS Endl. 



Branches spreading, terete; branchlets compressed, 2-edged; leaves 

 quadrifariously imbricate ; the laterals complicate-carinate, decurrent, two 

 glaucescent sulci; fascials very small, ovate, carinate. Strobile nutant,
