Table III. 



A comparison between my material of wild-growing Spcrgularia and cultivated 

 plants raised from seeds secured from that material. Measurements in mm. 



I colour; 2 pubescence; 3 length of stipules; 4 leaves, length and width; 5 sepals, idem; 6 petals, 

 idem; 7 number of stamens; 8 length of filament; 9 anther, length and width ; 10 length of capsule; 



II seeds, length and width. 



Table IV. 

 Winged and wingless seeds in cultivated ^^ masafuerana. 



Bitter's description, and in the constant occurrence of 2 carpels. I regard it as 

 specifically distinct. 



67. Acaena ovalifolia Ruiz et Pav. subsp. australis Bitter. Skottsb. 3. 133. 



I am unable to draw a limit between the plant growing on Masatierra and 

 var. hisulac-exterioris Bitter ex Skottsb. I. 245 from Masafuera. Both seem to 

 differ from typical australis in anther size, having anthers only 0.25 mm long 

 and 0.4 mm wide, whereas they are 0.5 X 0.75 according to BlTTER in the latter.
