Eupliriasia L. 



113. E. aiitarctica Benth. 



Calyx green with brownish streaks; corolla white to påle lilac; base of lower 

 lip yellowish green, middle part bright yellow, lobes white, each with a dark violet, 

 longitudinal streak. Filaments white, anthers påle brown, ovary green, style whitish, 

 stigma white. When the flower opens, the anthers stånd exactly above the stigma, 

 which is fully developed before the flower is opened. It is inevitable, that pollen 

 falls upon the stigma. This species has flowers of another constriiction than northern 

 ones, for in them the pistillum is considerably longer and often exserted, and cross- 

 fertilization in described as being the rule. 



E. F., in moist places among grasses; rare: Port Williams, Rabbit Co ve ! (first 

 found by Birger!); Lafonia, N. of Burnside, between Darwin and Tranquilidad ! 

 Arrow Harbour, on the edge of a pond! Arrow Harbour House, with Cortaderial 

 — Patagonian Channels, Port Eden; beyond in this locality in the rainy zone only 

 found in the Patagonian steppe; Fuegia, also in the forest zone, near Rio Azopardo! 



Plantaginacese. 

 Plaiitago L. 



8. P. barbata FoRST. (P. monanthos d'Urv.) 



A very variable species, according to the nature of the locality. I cannot 

 separate P. monanthos from this, having seen too many intermediate forms. 



Sandy sea-shores, common and often forming low, densely packed cushions. 

 E. F., Port Louis! Stanley Harbour! Navy Point! Port Harriet! Darwin Har- 

 bour! North Arm! W. F., Spring Point! Port Philomel, Halfvvay Cove! — S. 

 Patagonia, Fuegia, Staten I. 



781. P. maritima L. 



Reiche has tried to separate the austral plant under the name of P. juncoides 

 Lam. The distinctive characters are, however, not constant. In Hombr. et Jacq. 

 (Decaisne), p. 84, this species has been signalled from the Falklands. E. F., Lafonia, 

 at a pond near Victoria Creek, abundant! — Widely spread in temp. zones; South 

 Patagonia, Fuegia.
