272 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS : BOTANY. 



P. 846: 



SENECIO FISTULOSUS Poepp. 



This species is limited to Central Chili, as Dr. Reiche informs me. Its 

 occurrence in S. Patagonia is consequently questionable ; perhaps the 

 determination is wrong, and the Patagonian specimen may be new. D. 



S. aff. FALKLANDICUS Hook. f. 



(Identity doubtful ; got in fields near Punta Arenas.) Hooker's plant 

 had external ligulate florets. The Belgican plant is near 5. andersom, 

 which, however, is said to have narrower leaves and numerous heads. 

 The Belgican specimen has heads solitary on ends of the branches.

S. HAUTHALII Ok. 



Should be deleted, being identical with 5. desideratus DC. D. 



S. HIERACIUM Remy. 



Glabrous herb, with simple stem glaucous and terete. Radical leaves 

 petiolate, oblong-lanceolate, others narrowing to a petiole, remotely 

 toothed or entire ; upper leaves sessile, oblong-cuneate, basally lobed, 

 few-toothed in middle, entire at apex. Heads few, peduncled, sub- 

 corymbed ; involucre campanulate, basi-bracted, its scales about 20, oblong- 

 linear, acuminate with membranous margins, shorter than the disk. 

 Ligules about 15, rather narrow. Achenes slightly hirtellous. 



P. 848 : 



S. HIRTHI Phil. 



Dr. Reiche regards S. hirthi as a synonym of S. philippii Sch. Bip. ms. ; 

 Wedd. Chlor. andin., i, p. 134. 



P. 849 : 



S. IBARI Phil. 



Should be deleted; in my opinion being identical with S. longipes 

 Hook. fil. For further explanation see under that species. D. 



S. INUTILIS Speg. 



Heads discoid. Glabrous shrub with subherbaceous branches, and 

 linear, acute, entire leaves, the margins narrowly revolute ; petioles of
