MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 22Q 



calyx, upwards cylindrical, remotely glandulous, the limb rotate, 5-lobed, 

 the lobes being elongate-attenuate at point and somewhat recurved ; sta- 

 mens inserted at the base of the corolla, reaching nearly to its mouth ; style 

 somewhat shorter than the stamens with semiglobose stigma. 



Stands nearest to F. viscosa Hook., differing from that species in 

 having larger flowers, with a cylindrical tube and rotate limb. F. viscosa 

 is very viscid, F. glanditlosa scarcely. 



P. 709: 



F. PATAGONICA Speg. 



Common in the Patagonian steppe and in the river valleys from Rio 

 Negro to Rio Sta. Cruz at least ; in Neuquen Territory. 



A highly variable plant. Spegazzini notes in his paper, Nov. Add. 

 Flor. Patag., II, p. 54, the following varieties: typic a, foliosa, nana, bra- 

 chyloba and gracilis, being all established by him. 



Add to Solanacece, p. 713, line 13: 



DATURA Linn. 



Rank poisonous weeds, with funnelform corolla, having long tube and 

 plaited border. Calyx prismatic, 5-toothed, and capsule prickly, partly 

 4-celled. 



D. STRAMONIUM L. (Jamestown-weed of U. S.) 



Annual, glabrous ; leaves ovate, sinuous-toothed ; stem green ; corolla 

 white. 



In N. Patagonia, Carmen de Patagones. 



PETUNIA Juss. 

 P. 710: 



P. AXILLARIS Lam. 



As far as I am aware, not found in our district. D. 



P. HUMIFUSA Dun. 



Should be deleted, not known from Patagonia. 



Spegazzini's statement in Plant. Patag. Aust, p. 557, of the occurrence 

 of this species in Patagonia is a mistake corrected by himself in Nov. Add. 

 Flor. Patag., II, p. 56, where the plant in question is described as Nico- 

 tiana acaulis Speg.
