Polygoimin L. 



*260. P. iiiiiritiiuiim L. var. chilense (C. Koch). 



I do not venture to keep tliis as a distinct species. My specimen agrees very 

 well with Lechler 1128 (quoted in DC. Prodr. xiv. p. 88), distributed under the 

 name of P. niaritimum Griseb., and with otliers taken by Dusen. It differs in being 

 more robust and having tliicker ochrese, only liyaline towards the apex. On the 

 other hand, the nervature of the ochrea does not seem to af förd any specific cha- 

 racter; Lechler 1128 has more than 12 strong nerves, but in other plants they are 

 not so many and their number varies in the same individual. My specimen has the 

 leavfes unusually short and broad.
