I imagine this to be the plant which was considered by Em. Desvaux and Philippi to 

 be the true C. quila, and that this misapprehension, already referred to, induced thorn to 

 describe C. Valdiviensis and perhaps C. ciliata as new species- I believe that C. tmui- 

 flora is a young state, and a ciliata a more advanced state of the same plant. In our oi 

 the specimens, of what I believe to he this species, in Herb. Kew. (sent from Chili hy 



Philippi, but without a name), the branches are nearly 2 feet, and the panicle 7-8 iml.es 

 long ; and altogether the plant appears to have a habit of growth very d.irerent from 

 that of the other allied species.
