The full accounts that have been given of the well-known Winter's 

 Bark leave nothing to be added here. Our specimen from Valparaiso 

 belongs to a state with unusually narrow, oblong-lanceolate leaves. I see 

 little to militate against Dr. Hooker's conclusion respecting the species, 

 at least so far as respects DeCandolle's D. Chilensis. But that the 

 same species should extend from Fuegia and Juan Fernandez to New 

 Granada, and even to Mexico, over 86° of latitude, is indeed remark- 

 able ; especially when we consider that all other species of Magnoliacece 

 have a narrow geographical range.
