MACLOSKIE: REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 257 



tubulosa, limbo fere ad basin 5-fido, laciniis linearibus, acuminatis, acutis, 

 stamina ad os tubi corollini inserta; stylus longe exsertus, filiformis, cur- 

 vatus, stigmate subincrassato ; achaenia obscure pentagona, 4.5 mm. longa 

 et 1.7 mm. crassa, valde rugosa, calyce persistente coronata. 



S. Patagonia, Rio F6siles in the mountains on denuded ground (800- 

 1,100 m.). 



Perennial ; leaves densely imbricating, green, somewhat fleshy, spathu- 

 late, with subcanaliculate petioles twice as long as the lamina, 3-lobed 

 nearly to its base, the lobes being linear or sometimes obovate, subin- 

 curved and hyaline-cuspidate ; heads solitary, sessile, terminal, without an 

 involucre, but closely surrounded by the uppermost 5~7-lobed cauline- 

 leaves ; receptacle subhemispherical, paleaceous, with pales membrana- 

 ceous below, upwards green and thicker, narrow-linear, acute, much 

 shorter than the crowded flowers ; calyx 5-laciniate nearly to the base ; 

 with narrow gradually alternate, acute lobes; corolla white, glabrous, 

 funnel-shaped, the lower half tubular, the limb 5-cleft, with linear, acute 

 lobes ; stamens attached to the mouth of the tube ; style long exserted, 

 filiform, curved, with thickened stigma; achenes indistinctly pentagonal, 

 crass, very rugose, crowned by the persisting calyx. 



Nearest to Moschopsis caleofuensis (Speg.) Dus., but differing in the 

 hyaline-cuspidate lobes of the leaves, in the linear poles, and the narrow, 

 acute lobes of the calyx.

V. NITIDULA Less. 



It is doubtful if this species is found in Patagonia ; I do not know any 

 statement of its occurrence even in N. Patagonia. D.
