Add Macl., p. 535, after (No. u) G. sessilifolium the species: 



G. PATAGONICUM Hook. fil. 



(Characters as stated for it, as a variety of G. dissectum, p. 534) : 

 S. Patagonia, especially in its western parts near the forest line as well, 

 for instance, as in the forests of deciduous beeches. 



P. 536: 



WENDTIA Meyen. 



This appears to us to be the rightful name of this genus of Geramacece; 

 not being invalidated by the very closely similar name (Wendia] of a 

 section of a genus of a different family, nor by subsequently elevating 

 that section to be an independent genus. The difference of spelling (as 

 well as of pronunciation) precludes confusion ; and the generic name is 

 not preoccupied by serving in a lower capacity, even if the name were 

 identical.

W. PCEPPIGIANA Meyen. 



Syn. W. trigyna p<zppigiana (Klotsch) O. Ktze. 



Erect. Calyx-leaves white-woolly inside ; nearly naked outside. Sepals 

 5-merous, lobes small, not very hairy. Flowers rather small. Is distin- 

 guished from W. gracilis Meyen by its erect growth, 5-parted leaves and 

 smaller flowers.
