MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 95 



Fam. 20. IRIDACE^C. Macl., p. 312. 



NEMASTYLIS Nutt 

 N. FURCATA Klatt. Macl., p. 313. 



It is somewhat doubtful if this species actually occurs in the northern- 

 most section of our district. 



LIBERTIA Spreng. 

 L. ELEGANS Poepp. Macl., p. 314. 

 Should be deleted ; it does not belong to our district. 



L. FORMOSA Graham. Macl., p. 314. 

 N. W. Patagonia, Rio Refiihue ; W. Patagonia, Rio Baker ; S. Chili. 



SISYRINCHIUM L. 

 S. CLARAZII Bak. Macl., p. 315. 

 Should be deleted ; not known from our district. 



S. CUSPIDATUM Poepp. Poeppig, Fragm., 3. 



According to A. B. Rendle (Journal of Botany, Vol. 42, p. 326) this 

 species is found in S. Patagonia, Lago Argentine ; besides in Chili. 



P. 315: 



S. FILIFOLIUM Gaud. 



At head of Rio Chico, Patagonia: "This seems not to be identical 

 with the true S. filifolium Gaud., from the Falkland Is., but is more like 

 S. junceum C. A. Meyers. It is a variable species." C. Skottsberg. 



S. IRIDIFOLIUM H.B.K. Macl., p. 316. 



Should be eliminated ; not in our district. Spegazzini's statement of 

 its occurrence in Magellan is certainly wrong. 



S. IRIDIFOLIUM H.B.K. var. MAJUS and var. MINUS. Macl., p. 316. 



Are unknown to me. It is very doubtful if the plants referred to are 

 to be placed as varieties of S. iridifolium. D.
