Cotiila L. 



66. C. scariosa (Cass.) Franch. (Leptinella scariosa Cass.) 



Sandy sea shores, W. F., »scarce» (Vallentin ex Wright); Roy Cove, a small 



patch! Possibly this was the place where Mrs. Vallentin found it. — Chile, Prov. 



of Maule to Fuegia, Staten I. 



Senecio L. 



110. S. candicaiis (Vahl) DC. (Cacalia candicans Vahl.) 



Mr. Wright (p. 321) mentions this as abundant in Hooker's tinie, now rare. 

 This statement is incorrect. The species abounds on fine-grained sand on the sea-coast 

 and of ten forms pure associations of considerable extent. E. F., Port Louis, on gravel! 

 Cape Pembroke, on drifting sand ! Port Harriet, on sandfields with Juncus scheuch- 

 zerioides! Lovv Bay, very abundant! North Arm! Speedwell Island in enormous 

 masses (Halle); W. F., Spring Point! Fox Island! Port North! — S. Patagonia 

 from Santa Cruz to the south, Fuegia, Staten I. 



30. S. Darwinii HooK. et Arn. f. falklandica (Hook. fil.) (S. litoralis a lanatus 

 Gaud., S. falklandicus Hook. fil.) 



HooKER admits (Fl. ant. p. 317) the possibilitj' of uniting this with S. Dar- 

 winii, which I have coUected on Faegian mountains; my Fuegian specimens were 

 compared by Mr. Spencer Moore with the type in Kew. I find no other characters 

 to distinguish them than those already indicated by Hooker. T3'pical S. falklandicus 

 has been collected in Patagonia near Punta Arenas by Dusen. 



Not uncommon, generally on rocky sea-shores. E. F., Sapper Hill near Port 

 Stanley! Port Williams (Hooker), Mount Low, in the stonerun! W. F., Fox Bay 

 (CuNNiNGHAM, FiRMiN ex Wright), near Cape Meredith! Port Philomel, Halfway 

 Cove! Rabbit Island, among the tussock ! Roy Cove! Port North (Vallentin ex 

 Wright), slopes of Mount Adam! Westpoint Island! Saunders Island! — S. Pata- 

 gonia, Fuegia. 



43. S. litoralis (Gaud.) Hook. fil. (S. Htoralis p glabratus Gaud., S. vaginatus 

 Hook. et Arn.) 



A remarkable hapaxanthic Senecio, probably biennial. The base of the stem 

 lignifies, but is not persistent. 



It is not, as the specific name would indicate, a seashore plant, but very 

 characteristic of the Blechnum inagellanicum-siiisoci&tion on the quartzite ridges, ston}?- 

 slopes and mountain-sides. E. F., Berkeley Sound (Darwin ex Wright), Mount 

 Low! between Stanley and Cape Pembroke! Mount William! south slope of Mount 

 Usborne! Tyssen Islands (Cunningham ex Wright); W. F., slopes of Mount Maria! 

 on hills north of Halfway Cove (Port Philomel)! Hill Cove! slopes of Mount Adam, 

 upwards to 500 m. ! — Endemic.
