anthers wlien opening clustered above the stigma, which by the growth of the pistil 

 is pushed out between them and appears covered witli pollen. SelfpoUination is thus 

 greatly facilitated. 



In HooKER^s time abundant on the sea-coast, now rare, and scarce even in 

 all places where I have seen it; this is undoubtedly a result of the sheep-breeding.

Very rare. E, F., Darwin Harbour (Mrs. Vallentin 115!). I have seen the 

 only sample found by Mrs. Vallentin; it is not, as Wright 1. c. p. 318 thinks, 

 the so-called magellanica, but belongs to the type. Wright also quotes Hooker as 

 a collector of Falkland specimens. There is nothing mentioned in Fl. ant., and the 

 Director of Kew Gardens kindly informs me, that Hooker's samples came from 

 Port Famine in the Magellan Straits, and not from the Falklands. — Andes from 

 Peru to Fuegia.
