C. VULVA-RIUM Linn. (An est Ch. album var. vulvarmm?} 



ATRIPLEX L. 

 A. LAMPA Gill. Macl., p. 364. 



A characteristic steppe-bush 1.5-2 m. high, very common in N. Pata- 

 gonia, for instance along Rio Limay and Rio Negro and in the northern 

 section of the Patagonian east coast. 



It alone, or in company with other steppe-bushes, covers large parts of 

 the N. Patagonian steppe. 



P. 365 : Atriplex reichii Volkens may be A. vulgatissima Speg. 



HALOPEPLIS Gris. 

 H. GILLIESI Gris. Macl., p. 366. 



Should be deleted, being identical with Heterostachys ritteriana (Moq.) 

 U. Stbg. Macl., p. 368. 



H. PATAGONICA (Moq.) U. Stbg. Macl., p. 366. 

 Is synonymous with Spirostachys patagonica (Moq.) Benth. Macl., 



P- 367- 



SPIROSTACHYS S. Wats. 

 P. 367 : 



S. RITTERIANA (Moq.) U. Stbg. 



Should be deleted; it coincides with Heterostachys ritteriana (Moq.) U. 

 Stbg. 



P. 367 : 



S. PATAGONICA (Moq.) Benth. 



It is Halopeplis patagonica (Moq. Tand.), p. 366. 



SALICORNIA L. 

 S. CORTICOSA Meyer. Macl., p. 369. 



According to Spegazzini, this species is very varying. In Nov. Add. 

 Flor. Patag., Ill, p. 154, he cites the three following forms: typica, nach- 

 tigalii and procumbens, the last being identical with Salicornia corticosa 

 Meyer var. nachtigalii Nied. Salicornia bergii Lor. et Nied. is probably 

 identical with the present species.
