This rare species was gathered on Staten Land by Menzies, and 

 Hermite Island, Cape Horn, by Dr. Hooker; in both cases with the 

 flowers and fruit fallen. Our specimens afford the fruit; but the 

 stigma and stamens are still unknown. It is a small plant', with lig- 

 nescent and short procumbent stems, clothed with the glabrous petiolar 

 stipules, and with crowded leaves. Leaflets 3 or 4 pairs, with an odd 

 one, 2 or 3 lines in length, subcoriaceous, elliptical or broadly oblong, 

 coarsely serrate with obtuse teeth, channelled above in the middle ; the 

 upper surface silky with dense villous hairs, of a silvery-fulvous' hue
