crantes 2, scariosae, lanceolatae, acuminatae, c. 2 cm. longae, floras subae- 

 quantes; pedicelli 5-10 mm. longi ; perianthium atrorubrum, tubo inflate, 

 c. i cm. longo et 5.8 mm. diam., laciniis tubo brevioribus, linearibus, 5-7

 ovarium ovatum, i cm. longum, stylo columnari, 1.5 mm. longo coronatum. 



S. Patagonia, near Lago Argentine. 



According to A. B. Rendle, very near to T. australe Nege., which differs 

 in its much shorter bracts, shorter-stalked flowers and shorter perianth- 

 lobes. 



T. NIVALIS Poepp. var. ANGUSTILOBA Speg. Macl., p. 307. 



In my opinion identical with Tristagma ameghinoi Speg. and has, 

 therefore, been transferred to that species. D. 



T. PULCHELLUM Speg. Macl., p. 307. 



Also in S. Patagonia, Lago Argentine in the mountains on denudated 

 ground ; to the north of Lago San Martin in the mountains along the 

 Rio Fosiles, c. 1,000 m. 



Spegazzini describes the plant as having a bulb ; this description is not 

 quite correct. The subterraneous stem consists of a well-developed 

 rhizome ending with an oval bulb. The roots emanate not from the bulb, 

 as stated by Spegazzini, but from the rhizome. 



CALLIXENE Juss. Macl., p. 307. 



The name Callixene of this genus should be replaced by Luzuriaga 

 Ruiz et Pav. Cf. International rules of botanical nomenclature, p. 75. 



Macl., p. 308: Luzuriaga marginata (Gaertn.) Benth & Hooker, vice 

 Callixene radicans ; Beagle Channel; Fuegia; and Villarina Bay. 'The 

 right name is Enargea' (fide Skottsberg.). 



P. 309: Philesia buxifolia Lam. (P. magellanica J. F. Gmelin is the 

 older name. Vide Skottsberg.) 



Fam. 19. AMARYLLIDACE^:. Macl., p. 309. 



ALSTRCEMERIA L. 



A. AURANTIACA Don. Macl., p. 311. 



So far as I am aware, this species does not occur in our district. D.
