MACLOSKIE: REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 249 



V. LAXIFLORA Ok. (non DC.). 



Occurs in Elizabeth Id. (Strait of Magellan), but so far as I am aware, 

 not in Fuegia. It should be omitted, as it is only a synonym of V. 

 clarioneifolia Phil . D. 



V. LAPATHIFOLIA Vahl. 



Also occurs in S. Chili ; in W. Patagonia, Rio Puelo and Rio Renihue. 



V. MOYANOI Speg. 

 Syn. V. crassiscaposa Ok. 



Occurs in Mid-Patagonia, Chubut; in S. Patagonia, Sta. Cruz Terri- 

 tory, viz., in its central and western sections. 



P. 749 : 



V. OBTUSIFOLIA DC. 



(The plants referred to this probably belong to V. carnosa Smith.) 

 Of the two names V. salicariifolia Vahl. and V. salicifolia Vahl., the 



latter appears to have the priority. The plant occurs in N. Patagonia, 



near Carmen de Patagones.
