POLYGALACEAE. 
Potyeata, L. 
P. Anderssonii. P. puberula, Anderss. (1), 232, & (2): 100; 
Rob. & Greenm. (1), 145; not Gray.—InperatiGaBLe Ist.: 10 dry 
places on the sides of the mountain, Andersson ; south of Conway Bay, 
Baur, no. 13 (hb. Gr.). Endemic. This species is omitted from Pro- 
fessor Chodat’s monograph. It is reduced by Mr. Bennett, Jour. Bot. 
xvii. 204, but as I think erroneously, to P. galapageia. It is noteworthy 
that both species occur upon the same island but no intergradation has 
been observed in the matter of pubescence.
