204 C. SKOTTSBERG 



Parietaria L. Some 30 sp.; in all parts of the globe. Several medit. -orient., others 

 N. and S. Amer., one (P. debilis Forst.) supposed so be widely distributed. 



Jiuniifiisa Rich. Chile. Until now listed as debilis which, in W'eddell's mon- 

 ograph, is a collective species. I have shown [2-j.i) that Forster's species from 

 Australia, New Zealand and Polynesia has little to do with the forms referred to 

 this but occurring elsewhere and that none of the specimens from S. Amer. seen 

 by me belong to true debilis. Pending a revision of the genus, Jiuinifusa is a cor- 

 rect name for the Chilean plant. 



Loranthaceae. 



Phrygilaiithns Eichl. About 30; bicentric: Mex.-Braz. and Chile, Argent., Urug.; 

 Austral., X. Zeal., X. Guin., Philipp. Is. 



Berteroi (Hook, et Arn.) Reiche. Related to Andean sp. 



Santalaceae. 



SaiitaluDi L. 18; Austral. -X. Guin. 5, Melan. 2, Polyn. 2, Hawaii 7, Bonin i, and 

 the following. See 2j;6 and zyo. 



fernandezianutn F. Phil. Extinct. Belongs to sect. Polynesica Skottsb.; not, 

 as has been said [in], related to S. freycinetiainim of Hawaii which belongs to a 



different section [2'/6). 



Chenopodiaceae. 



Clieuopodiu))! L. Over 250; world-wide, but essential!}- temj). 



Sanctae C/arae Johow, crM,soeflnuw Skottsb. and ne^odendro/i Skottsb. On 

 my request Dr. P. Aellex, who created sect. Skottsbevgia to receive the three 

 island endemics, sent me the following remarks: "Ich wijrde sagen, dass die drei 

 Arten zu keiner der uns heute bekanntgewordenen Arten irgendwelche verwandt- 

 schaftliche Ziige und Beziehungen aufweisen. Es sind vollig isolierte Typen, Re- 

 likte eines im Meere versunkenen Florenreiches." Evidently Dr. Aellex does 

 not support the idea that they are related to paniculatuni Hook. (X. Amer., Peru- 

 Chile) or oalinense Meyen (Hawaii), which latter has the same arboreous habit. 

 Salicornia L. Widely distributed, about 30 sp. 



fruticosa L. (peruviana Kunth). Taken in a wide sense INIediterr., S. Afr., W. 

 Ind., Polyn.; peruviana, \\ . coast of S. Amer. to S. Chile. 



Aizoaceae. 



Tetragonia L. About 25 sp. Strongly represented in S. Afr., several sp. in Chile. 

 expaiisa IMurr. Coasts and islands of the Pacific; Braz. 



Caryophyllaceae. 



Spergularia Presl. A widely scattered genus of about 40 sp.; numerous in Chile. 

 coufertiflora Steud. San Ambrosio. Related to species from Centr. Chile. 

 masafuerana Skottsb. Related to the former and to S. media (L.) Presl,
