— Ponds and streams, especially in Lafonia. E. F., Port Louis! Rabbit Cove! 

 Lafonia, in nearly all streams witli suitable bottom ! besides, in muddy ponds near 

 Arrow Harbour and Low Bay! W. F., fresh-water lagoons near Roy Cove (Vallen- 

 TiN ex Wright), Spring Point in a rivulet ! — Mexico — Cape Horn, Tasmania, New 

 Zealand.

On many kinds of soil, but most luxuriant on tlie banks of rivers, near water- 

 falls or on damp soil in sheltered places near the sea. Abundant on both islands. 



— Andes from Columbia to Cape Horn, Patagonia, Fuegia, Staten I.

I follow Reiche, Fl. de Chile, and Bentham, Fl. austr. in uniting witli H. 

 hirta, H. Bonplandi A. Rich. and marchantioides Clos ex Gay. My specimens 

 agree well witli the latter but judging from descriptions alone, could also be brought 

 to var. chilensis Cham. et Schlecht. of the former. Falkland specimens differ from 

 typical hirta in being less hirsute and having fewer flowers. But it must not be 

 forgotten, that they vary a great deal according to the nature of the locality. 

 Apparently not uncommon, but hitherto overlooked. E. F., Lafonia, Arrow 

 Harbour, abundant on stiff clay at the margin of a pond! (small, stout, more 

 hirsute) in streams between Darwin and Adventure Sound ! between Adventure Sound 

 House and Mapa ! near Mapa! North Arm! W. F., in a small stream (nearly 

 overgrown with mosses) close to the beacli in Port North! (slender, nearly glabrous 

 with larger leaves). — S. Chile from central provinces to Aysen; Patagonia, Rio Sta 

 Cruz (Spegazzini).

Wright, p. 319, lias made the serious mistake of referring Bolax gleharia 

 CoMM, to A. cmspitosa Cav., while it is identical with Å. ccespttosa Vahl, which has 

 nothing to do with the other. As a result of this, he states that it is »common 

 throughout the islands». If he had only followed Flora antarctica, this would nev^er 

 have happened. 



On slopes of weathered sandstone, near the sea; the soil in the places surveyed 

 by me bore signs of recent solifluction; this is of interest, as I found this plant to
