MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 213 



lary spikes shorter than the leaf, dense-flowered, bractless. Calyx 5-par- 

 tite, its lobes oblong, equalling the tube of the corolla. Nuts 4, smooth. 

 Chili; according to Spegazzini in N. Patagonia, by Lago Nahuel- 

 huapi, and Mid-Patagon.; Lago Colu-huapi, and Colonia. 



Note, p. 678, after line 13: 



The three genera, Lappula, Eritrichium and Allocarya are thus dis- 

 tinguished. Allocarya has opposite leaves, Lappula and Eritrichium 

 have alternate leaves. The ridge of hooked bristles on the nutlets dis- 

 tinguishes Lappula from the other two. The nutlets of Eritrichium are 

 attached by their lower half, those of Allocarya by their upper half. 



P. 678: 



ERITRICHIUM HUMILE (Ruiz et Pav.) DC. 



Should be deleted, being identical with Allocarya humile (Ruiz et Pav.) 

 Greene.

S. Patagonia, between Puerto San Julian and Rio Deseado. 



Whether this species actually belongs to the genus Eritrichium, or 

 rather should be placed in the genus Allocarya, cannot be decided at the 

 present time, its nucule being unknown. By reason of its lower leaves 

 being opposite, this species should probably be placed in the latter genus. 

 (See note above.) 



Perhaps Eritrichium diffusum Phil., parvulum Phil., and uliginosum 

 Phil., mentioned by Macloskie, should be removed to the genus Allocarya. 

 I am, however, not in a position to decide these questions. D. 



P. 679, line 22, add the species : 



PLAGIOBOTRYS TINCTORIA (Ruiz & Pav.) A. Gray. 



Syn. Eritrichium tinctorium (R. & P.) DC. 



Hispid, erect, branching annual, 5-10 cm. high; leaves sessile, linear- 

 lanceolate, obtuse ; racemes subfoliose ; calyx densely hispid, lobes lanceo- 

 late ; corolla-tube exceeding the calyx. Nutlets muricate, shining.
