109. A. australe Thouars. (A. graveolens L. quoad plantam austroamericanam.) 



I prefer to keep this distinct from the northern species, following the example 



recently given by Reiche in Fl. de Chile, III, p. 109. I liave not found it prostrate 



as is the rule in the Australian plant, so I dåre not joiii it with A. yrostraium 



Labill. ; there may be otlier characters also to distingiiish them. 



A common species of the sea-shore, but also found near running water. E. F., 

 Port Louis! Port Stanley! Port Harriet! Low Bay! W. F., Spring Point! Port 

 Philomel, Halfway Cove! Beaver Island! Westpoint Island, by a waterfalll — S. 

 Chile to Fuegia, Staten I., Patagonia, Tristan d'Acunha. 



Oreomyrrhis Endl. 



48. O. audicola (Lag.) Endl. (Azorella daucoides d'Urv.) 



In the heath, also in sandy places, and sometimes near the sea, fairly common 



throughout the islands! — S. Mexico, Ecuador — Chile, down to Fuegia, Argentina, 



Patagonia, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand. 



Craiitzia Nutt.

Petals white with reddish tips, filaments white, anthers påle yellowish brown,

This plant is remarkably variable as to the nature of the fruit. According to 

 all systematic works, such as Gen. plant., Nat. Pflanzenfam. etc, the calyx of Gaul- 

 iheria becomes enlarged and succulent, and more or less surrounds the fruit, which is 

 described as a loculicide capsule; in Pernettya the calyx does not become fleshy 

 and the fruit is a berry. But in GauUheria microphylla two very different forms of 

 fruit occur in the Falklands. The calyx always becomes succulent, but sometimes 

 does not include the fruit, which is then no capsule, but a berry as in Pernettya 

 (see Pl. II, fig. 10). The typical form, also figured by Hooker, is seen in fig. 8. 

 Most common is an intermediate form with the lower half of the fruit wall thin and
