I thiiik, that Hooker was riglit when lie suggested that his R. trullifolius was 

 allied to R. hydrophilus. It is perhaps not unnecessary to men tion that I have seen 

 the specimen, upon which Hooker' s original description was based. 



In water or moist clay, rare: E. F., San Salvador Bay in a lagoon (Hooker!), 

 by a pond near Port Harriet ! on the muddy bank of a small stream near Victoria 

 Creek! — Endemic? R. trullifolius Speg. is ])Tohah\e = R. pseudotrullifoliiis. It would 

 be advisable to compare R. oligocarpus Speg. Nov. add. iv, from Patagonia, it may 

 be identical. To judge from the description, Philippi's R. monanthos is this species. 



Hamadryas Commers. 



33. H. argentea HoOK. fil. 



Male flower with inner side of perianth reddish or yellovvish brown, almost 

 bronze-coloured and with yellow stamens; female with dull bronze sepals, petals 

 yellowish-brown, glossy ; carpels green with yellow stigmse. Both sexes produce 

 honey and are probable cross-fertilized by dipters. 



Rare, on grassy slopes near the sea and on the top of the mountains. W. F., 

 Port Philomel, Halfway Co ve, only $ seen! Roy Cove (Vallentin, Firmin ex 

 Wright), below the top of Mount Adam! summit of Mount Maria! I never met 

 with it in E. F., but possibly Hooker's specimens came from there. Probable more 

 common in old times; all my localities were ± inaccessible to sheep. 



Cruciferse. 



[C oronopus didymus (L.) Sm. has been found by Birger near Port Stanley and 

 by myseif in North Arm and on Fox Island. It was most likely originally introduced.] 



[Cochlearia officinalis L. was collected in Port North by Vallentin (ex Wright) 

 and on Saunders Island in Port Egmont, near the old French settlement, by myseif. 

 From historical documents we know, that is was cultivated as a remedy against 

 scurvy, and probably the plants in Port Egmont are descendants from the old 

 French garden. I found them on a moist cliff, near the sea.] 



Cardainiiie L. 



17. c. glacialis (Forst.) DC. (C. hirsuta d'Urville, Hooker etc. non L., C. 

 antiscorbutica Banks et Sol.) 



I cannot see any really valid characters that separate the type from tlie forms, 

 enumerated by Sghultz (Mon. Cardamine, Engl. Jahrb. XXI, 1896), B. subsp. 

 litoralis (Phil.) O. E. Sghultz and II Prol. suhcarnosa (Hook.) O. E. Schultz. To 

 judge from the height of my specimens, they should all belong to v. suhcarnosa; the 

 stem is leaf less or has 1 — 2 small leaves, it is glabrous or slightly hairy at the base.
