MACLOSKIE: REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 253 



There is an approach to choripetaly and a reduction of parts in the 

 Scrophulariaceous genus Veronica. According to this view, we must 

 transfer to this family from Fl. Pat., p. 460, Donatia fascicularis Forst. 

 (1776); D. magellanica Lam. (1781). 



Characters and locations as at p. 460; found also at Magellan. (M.) 



Genus PHYLLACHNE. 



Flowers solitary, sessile. Corolla campanulate, with spreading seg- 

 ments. Stamens 2 ; ovary imperfectly 2-celled, with 2 epigynous glands. 

 Capsule indehiscent. 



P. ULIGINOSA Forst. (Forstera muscifolia Willd.). 



Serrulate, dichotomously branching, 5 cm. high. Leaves lance-subu- 

 late, mucronate-acute, imbricate, with sheathing base. Calyx lobes 

 scarious, and very narrow. Column exsert. 



Patagonia; Magellan, Hermite Id., Fuegia. 



Fam. 112. CALYCERACE^E.
