in Attica), concludes that this species does not belong to the North Euro- 

 pean flora, but is indigenous in the warmer parts of the old and new 

 world. In Linnd's Flora Suecica, however, A. stolonifera is given as 

 common, and in his Species Plantarum there is appended to its name the 

 somewhat inexplicit note "in nemoribus." Possibly Linnd's A. stolon- 

 ifera includes two species ; but be this as it may, it can be safely presumed 

 that the species from the Falkland Islands here referred to, namely, A. 

 stolonifera is identical with the Scandinavian form and not with that 

 South European form or species to which Hitchcock would confine the 

 name A. stolonifera. 



This species having a very limited range in peraustral South America, 

 being, in fact, found only in the Falkland Islands and, in all likelihood 

 there confined to the vicinity of Port Stanley, must in all probability have 

 been introduced. D.

This species has a far larger area of distribution than might be inferred 

 from previous accounts of it. I have found it in a good many places in the 

 western parts of the Sta. Cruz Territory, for instance at Lago Argentine, 

 Lago Viedma and Lago San Martin ; it occurs also in the upper valley of 

 Rio Aysen and very likely throughout the whole of W. Patagonia, at 

 least within the zone of deciduous beeches. D.
