Plumbaginaceae. 

 Armeria Willd. 



67. A. inacloviaiia Cham. (Statice csespitosa Pom., S. Armeria Hook. fil.) 



A revision of the genus Armeria is strongly needed. I cannot tell, if this species 



differs materially from the northern A. alpina Willd. or not; I have not found any 



good characters. 



Sandy and rocky sea-shores, not common, E. F., Port Louis! Stanley Harbour! 



Port Harriet! Bodie Tnlet! W. F., Shag Harbour! Roy Cove! — S. Patagonia, 



Fuegia, Staten I.

Calyx påle green, corolla white or sometimes påle lilac, filaments white, anthers 

 mauve, ovary påle green, style and stigma white. Corolla lobes remaining contorted, 

 only leaving a narrow passage between them. Homogamous, anthers and stigma on 

 the same level, selfpollination easily effected. 



Wright (p. 326) says, that this is rare (but he mentions more collectors of it 

 than most other species); I am sure it is not rare, at least in E. F.; I have not visited 

 W. F. in January or February, so I do not know the distribution in that part. 

 E. F., on moderately damp soil, in the heath or among grasses, not uncommon: 

 Port Louis! Rabbit Cove! Port Stanley! Port Harriet! south slope of Mt. Usborne! 

 Victoria Creek! W. F. — S. Patagonia, Fuegia.

c. biflora Lam. (Fagelia falklandica Sp. Moore, C. falklandica Kränzlin.) 

 This was described as a new species by Spencer Moore in Journ. of Botany 

 1900, p. 460. He says, that it comes nearest to C. biflora, mainly — and I think 

 only — differing in the shape of the lower lip: it is described as longer in relation 

 to its width, and suddenly and pronouncedly narrowed at the base. The author 

 kindly sent me a sketch of the plant and two corollae for examination, and from 

 Kevv I got one scape, carrying 4 flowers, but withouth leaves. According to Spencer 

 Moore, the character mentioned above »at once suffices to distinguish the two 

 plants. » I have made very earnest efforts, but they were fruitless. The two corollse
