“La Paz, Tees ft., Aug. 20, 1901”’ (No. 2336). 
No. 1541, from Sorata, 7000 ft., Oct. 2, 1902, is probably a form 
of the same. It is a smaller and more simple plant, its leaves a 
half longer, and more narrow, its cymes small and few-flowered, 
the fruits larger. Flowers are wanting. The fruiting sepals are 
larger and brown. The seeds are slightly larger and with a broader 
wing. The specimens are the same as Mandon No. 046, in Herb. 
Kew as Spergularia arenarium Lindl, but are apparently distinct 
from that species. It also bears the name S. media glandulosa.
