1 70 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS : BOTANY. 



The condensed growth of the plant gives it a rather peculiar appearance. 



I have not succeeded in explaining either the affinities of this species 

 or the section of the genus in which it may be placed. 



The specimens are somewhat defective, the cyathia being rather old 

 and usually more or less fragmentary.
