96 CARL SKOTTSBERG 



G. KUKENTHAL, Coburg, revised the Cyperaceae, Dr. G. Bitter, Bremen, made 

 a special study of Solarium, Acaena and Margyricarpus, Mr. O. E. SCHULZ, 

 Berlin, gave me his opinion on Cardamine, Dr. F VlERHAPPER communicated 

 some notes on my collection of Erigeron, and Dr. H. Dahlstedt, Stockholm, 

 described a new form of Taraxacum. To all these gentlemen I wish to express 

 my heartiest thanks for their generous assistance. I also thank Mr. A. Karnell, 

 Gothenburg, for the help he gave me when preparing the negatives of Plates 

 10, 11, 15 and 17. 



Finally, I use this occasion to thank my wife, Mrs. INGA SKOTTSBERG, 

 for her never failing enthusiasm and her self-sacrifice during a voyage that was 

 a great strain on body and mind alike. She was a most skilful, active and 

 cheerful companion, and contributed largely to the good results of our survey. 



The localities in Masatierra are enumerated from E. to W. along the north 

 and south sides of the island, respectively; in the case of Masafuera, they are 

 enumerated from N. to S. along the east coast and thence round to the west 

 coast, and followed by the observations in the high mountainous region. Spanish 

 names are used, with the following abbreviations: B. = Bahia, bay; C. = Cordon, 

 mountain ridge; Co = Cerro, mountain, peak; Pta = Punta, cape; Pto = Puerto, 

 cove, harbour; Q. = Quebrada, valley with steep sides, gorge, canyon; V. = Valle, 

 valley. Maps will accompany vol. I. 



Where a collector's or observer's name is not mentioned, the species has 

 been observed by us in all the places quoted. The numbers in brackets refer 

 to our collection, of which sets are kept in Stockholm (Riksmuseum), Gothen- 

 burg (Botanical Garden), Upsala (Museum of the University), and in several 

 foreign herbaria. 



A I after the name of a collector signifies that I have examined the speci- 

 men referred to. 



An * before a latin name indicates a new addition to the flora of Juan 

 Fernandez; if before the name of one of the islands, it signifies that the species 

 was observed for the first time in the island in question. 



The altitudes are in meters above sea level. 



It has been found advisable to indicate the state in which the specimens 

 were collected: fl. = in flower, fr. = with fruit. Other abbreviations will be 

 understood without further explanation. 



All the illustrations in the text are reproduced after drawings made by
