MACLOSKIE: REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 191 



Mountain tops of Burmeister Peninsula. Near A. lycopodium Gaud., 

 but the leaf-segments are not polished, and are blunt and simply mu- 

 cronate. Leaf-lobes are 2 mm. long (4 mm. in A. nivalis Phil, of Chili). 



S. Patagonia, Lago Argentine, in mountains above the forest line ; at 

 Rio Fosiles, on bare ground about 1000 m. high. 



P. 632 : 



ASTERISCIUM Cham, et Schlecht. 

 A. FIMBRIATUM Speg. Speg. Plant. Pat. austr., p. 523. 



N. B. Spegazzini in describing the plant, called attention to its systematic 

 place being uncertain. Since that the question has not yet been cleared up. 



MULINUM Pers. 



P- 633 : 



M. LEONINUM Lor. 



Should be deleted, being identical with Mulinum spinosum Pers. 



M. LAXUM Phil. 



Flexuous, loosely branching, leaves 3-partite, segments linear, sub- 

 equal ; mouth of sheaths slightly pilose; peduncles long, with about 15 

 flowers ; pedicels 4 times as long as the ovate capsule. 



In S. Chili ; N. W. Patagonia, in the upper valleys of Rio Manso and 

 Rio Renihue; W. Patagonia, by Rio Baker. 



P. 634: 



M. LYCOPODIOPSE Speg. 



Spegazzini's description of the plant and especially of the fruit gives 

 rise to the suspicion that this species belongs to the genus Azorella 

 rather than to Mulinum. 



M. MICROPHYLLUM Pers. 



Also in N. W. Patagonia, Rio Renihue; Mid-Patagonia, near Lago 

 Buenos Aires ; S. Patagonia, common in the steppe, for instance at Golfo 

 de San Jorge, Puerto San Julian, Sta. Cruz and at Rio Gallegos. 



M. MORENONIS (Ok.) Speg. 

 Also in S. Patagonia, on the east coast, at Golfo de San Jorge.
