Syn. O. pumila d'Urv. D'Urville Flor. Malouin, p. 616; O. patagonica

P. 540 : 



O. LAXA Hook. & Arn. 



Syn. O. alsinoides Walp.; O. micrantha Bert. 



The synonymy is scarcely correct. Dr. Reiche writes: "Ich glaube 

 nicht, dass man die grossbliitige O. laxa mit der kleinbliitige O. alsinoides, 

 etc., zusammenziehen kann." 



P. 539 : 



O. GAYI Macl. 



Should be deleted. 



The plant described in Gay, Flor. Chil., I, p. 452, by Barneoud under 

 the name of O. articulata not by Gay, as Macloskie says is a Chilian 

 and not a Patagonian one, as Macloskie seems to believe, and no notice 

 should therefore be taken of that plant. 



The plant Macloskie has in view was collected near Rio Negro by 

 Lorentz and Niederlein, members of the Rio Negro Expedition under 

 command of General Roca. In the botanical part of the reports of that 

 expedition, p. 201, it is stated that the plant now in question very well 

 agrees with the description of O. articulata Sav., or to cite the authors: 

 "corresponde bastante bien con la diagnosis de la O. articulata Sav." D. 



P- 539 : 



O. LACINIATA Cav. 



S. Patagonia, in the steppe ; much rarer than O. enneaphylla Cav. ; also 

 in the western section of Patagonia, viz., in the upper valley of Rio Aysen 

 in the mountains.
