iy6 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY. 



VIOLA MAGELLANICA Reiche (non Forst.)

 Punta Arenas. 



P. 582 : 



V. HUIDOBRII Gay. 



Should be deleted ; not known from our district. 



P. 583 : 



V. TRICOLOR Linn. 



Falkland Is.; doubtless introduced. (Skottsb.) 

 P. 581 : 



V. FIMBRIATA Steud. 



Perhaps the plant is V. microphylla. 

 Found at Punta Arenas. 



V. MAGELLANICA Forst. 



The locality, Coy Inlet, stated by Macloskie, actually refers to V. mac- 

 ulata Cav. V. magellanica does not belong to the steppe vegetation. 

 This species is known also in N. W. Patagonia and probably occurs in the 

 whole of W. Patagonia. D. 



P. 583 : 



V. MICROPHYLLA Poir. 



Syn. Viola fimbriata Steud. 



The plant is rather variable as to its size, but less varying concerning 

 the pilosity of the leaf margin. In my opinion V. fimbriata Steud. is not 

 to be specifically separated, even as a variety, from V. microphylla Poir. 

 and should be placed as a synonym of the latter. D. 



V. vulcanica G. & H. occurs also in N. Patag., Territory of Neuquen. 



P. 584, add after line 4, the species No. n. 



V. ARVENSIS Murr. 



Stem angular, decumbent, diffuse. Leaves ovate, oblong, toothed- 

 crenate. Corolla scarcely exceeding the hairy calyx. Annual, with 

 yellow flowers. 



Europe: Patagonia.
