 tliis plant in the Falklands (see Gen. plant. II: 2, 1225), which is highly probable

The minute, påle green flowers (only anthers yellow) are strongly proterogynous; 

 the stigmse are exserted before the perianth has opened. — Common on moist humus 

 on rocks near the sea, often growing with Hepaticse, or forming small patches in the 

 meadow or heath, but according to what I have seen not very characteristic of the 

 swamps, in contradiction to Wright, p. 320. E. & W. F., especially abundant round 

 Port Louis! — Mexico — Fuegia, Staten I., Tristan d'Acunha, Australia, Tasmania,
