sometimes 1-3 short approximate to the staminate, and stami- 
nate also at their apex, and two longer and remoter below, 
sometimes only 2 or 8 pistillate spikes of which the upper is 
near the staminate and the other more remote ; stigmas 2; fruit 
oblong, ovate, or obovate, short rostrate, entire at the orifice, 
nerved and tapering below, but scarcely stipitate ; pistillate scale 
he obtuse pale on the back, and near twice the length of the 
ruit. 
First found in Terra del Fuego ; afterwards with the preceding, 
by Dr. Bigelow, as noticed in the same work. My specimens 
are from the latter locality. 
Norg.—As the authority of Willdenow led to the confounding 
of C. paleacea, Wahl., with C. crinita, Lam., it is important to say 
rected. 
Wahlenberg gave a specimen of his C, paleacea to Mr. Tucker- 
man, who passed it to Dr. Boott. It proved to be the C. mari- 
uma, Vahl., and of course, was very far from @ crinita, Lam. 
le 
: , Wahl. ; Schk. supported thesame mistake. Having 
thus corrected the mistake of Willd. and error of Wabl. and of 
Schk., Dr. Boott saw that our so-called var. paleacea is the real 
©. crinita, Lam, Hence, the other form of it must be the variety, 
if it belongs to it. But Dr. Boott shows the manifest difference 
tween them, and gives to this the name @. gynandra, appro- 
aay to it by Schweinitz as early as 1824. The true C. crinita, 
- then is ascertained, and another species is named. ~ 
and its synonyms will be as follows :—
