An interesting addition to this ‘ede Johitian genus. It rendihies 
T. nivale in habit and the absence of the corona, but is at once dis-

It is very near 7. australe Neger (in Svenska Exped. till Ma- 
gellansland. iii. no. 5, p. 207) from Rio Guillermo, South Patagonia, 
which I have not seen, but which from the description differs in its 
shorter bracts (12 mm. long), shorter stalked flowers, and 
shuivtas perianth-lobes ’ mm. long).

the Lowes in other cases the uppermost nodes bear slender linear 
leaves 2 cm. or less in length. Leafy stems about half the length 
and thickness of the flowering; leaves 2°5 cm. long, 2 mm. or less 
in breadth. Perianth-lobes about 2 cm. long, the outer 7-8 mm. 
broad. Stamens and style shorter than the perianth ; anthers 
1 mm. broad; stigmas linear.
