MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 



zini has described this as a new species of the genus Echinospermum, but 

 at the same time accentuates the possibility of its identity with Echino- 

 spermum (Lappuld] redowskii (Horn.) Lehm.

Macloskie has noted this species as known from Patagonia. I have 

 not, however, succeeded in tracing his authority for this statement and, as 

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

Is to be deleted by reason of its identity with V. tridens Lag.

It is doubtful if this species occurs in our district. As far as I know, this 

 plant has, up to now, not been found in Patagonia. According to Lorentz 

 and Niederlein this species is not common in the pampas district, but they 

 do not state its occurrence either at Rio Colorado or at Rio Negro. D.

Rather common in S. Patagonia, for instance at Golfo de San Jorge, 

 in the mouth district of Rio Sta. Cruz, near Karr-aike by Lago Argentine, 

 at Rio Leone, at many localities in the valley of Arroyo Scheuen, between 

 Arroyo Sheuen and Rio Sta. Cruz, viz., at Manantial de la Trompa, etc.; 

 according to Spegazzini common in Mid-Patagonia. 



P. 685:

Should be deleted, as not known from our district. 



P. 686 : 



V. GLAUCA Gill, et Hook. 



Is not known in the district.
