small-leaved and less pubescent form, which is the E. affinis of 

 Kuprecht. 



5. ESCALLONIA ARGUTA, Presl. 



Escallonia arguta, Presl. Rel. Hamk. 2, p. 48, t. 58 ; Hook. & Arn. Bot. Misc. 1. c. 

 E. leucantlia, Reniy, in Gay, Fl. Chil. 3, p. 53 ? 



Hab. Chili ; between Valparaiso and Santiago, and on the middle 

 Cordilleras. 



6. ESCALLONIA PULVERULENT A, Pers. 



Escallonia pulverulenta, Pers. 1. c. j DC. Prodr. 4, p. 5; Hook. & Arn. 1. c. 

 Stereoxylum pulverulentum, Ruiz & Pav. Fl. Per. & Chil. 3, p. 15, t. 237. 



Hab. Chili ; near Valparaiso, and Cordilleras, near Casa Blanca. 



Some specimens approach the E. Berteriana, DC. ; which (with E. 

 resiniflua, Walp.) probably is only a glabra te and often resiniferous 

 form of this species, with the leaves mostly acute at the base. It 

 has the same very short styles. 



2. CARPODETUS, Forst. 

 1. Carpodetus serratus, Forst. 



Carpodetus serratus, Forsfc. Char. Gen. t. 17, & Prodr. p. 48; A. Rich. Fl. N. Zel. 

 p. 366; A. Cunn. Bot. N. Zeal, in Ann. Nat. Hist. 3, p. 247; Hook. Ic. PI. t. 

 564; Fenzl, in Regensb. Denkschr. 3, p. 155, t. 1; Hook. f. Fl. N. Zeal. p. 78. 



Hab. Bay of Islands, New Zealand; on the banks of streams. 

 (In fruit.) 



The details of this plant are well illustrated by Fenzl. Carpodetus, 

 long viewed as an anomalous genus, has of late been referred to the 

 EscalloniecB by Lindley, Endlicher, and Dr. Hooker, apparently with 

 good reason.
