2 1 2 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY. 



Fam. 95. HYDROPHYLLACEjE. Macl., p. 673. 



P. 673 : 



HYDROPHYLLUM MAGELLANICUM Lam. and (p. 674) PHACELIA 



CIRCINATA Jacq. 



Are both synonyms of Phacelia magellanica (Lam.) O. Ktze., described 

 in Macl., p. 674, no. 3. 

 S. Patagonia, and Fuegia. 



P. 674 : 



PHACELIA BRACHYANTHA Benth. 



According to Spegazzini this species occurs in S. Patagonia, viz., in 

 the upper valley of Rio Sta. Cruz very far from its proper district ; it is 

 not found elsewhere in Patagonia. A confirmation of its occurrence in 

 our district is very desirable. 



P. 675 : 



P. GLANDULOSA Nutt. Var. PATAGONICA Ball. 



Dr. A. Brand, the monographer of the Hydrophyllaceae in A. Engler, 

 das Pflanzenreich, has kindly informed me that the occurrence of a variety 

 of Phacelia glandulosa Nutt., in Patagonia is not at all probable, the 

 species occupying a small district in N. America; he adds that the 

 present plant perhaps coincides with P. nana Wedd. known from 

 Argentina. D. 



P. 675 : 

 P. PINNATIFIDA Wedd. var. PUMILA Ok. Unknown to me. D. 



Fam. 96, BORRAGINACE^E. Macl., p. 676. 



P. 677 : 



PATAGONULA AMERICANA L. var. HIRSUTA. 



Macloskie cites this variety as occurring in N. Patagonia. So far as I 

 am aware neither the species itself nor the variety occurs in the district. D. 



P. 677, line 9 from foot, add the species : 



HELIOTROPIUM PARONYCHIOIDES A. DC. 



Low, diffused, velvety anuual ; with opposite and alternate leaves, 

 obovate, oblong, basiobtuse, attenuate to a petiole as long ; younger axil-
