58 CARL SKOTTSBBRG, A BOTANICAL SURVEY OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS. 



Ncissaiivia Comm. 



120. N. Gaiidichaiidii CasS. 



Flowers cream coloured, staminal tube yellow. Strong and almost disagreeable 

 scent of honey. 



Rocky or sandy places, especially on the coast, fairly common. E. F., Berkeley 

 Sound, abundant! Port William, Rabbit Cove! top of Monnt Low! opposite Port 

 Stanley! on the quartzite ridge; Port Harriet! in drifting sand; Darwin Harbour! 

 Arrow Harbour House! in the meadows; North Arm! W. F., Port Philomel, Halfway 

 Cove! New Island! Saunders Island! — Endemic. MM. Hombron and Jacquinot 

 have indicated this species from the Magellan Straits, but nobody has ever seen it 

 since and as no locality is stated, I anticipate that there has been a mistake made as 

 to the place where their material came from. 



45. N. serpens d'Urv. 



Corolla milky white, highly contrasting with the dark violet stamens, the tips 

 of which are bright blue. Strong scent of vanilla, mingled with the less agreeable 

 odour of Crysanthemum leucanthemum. 



A characteristic feature of the stoneruns, by Mrs. Vallenttn also found among 

 Chiliotrichum in the valleys (Wright). E. F., Mount Simon (d'Urville), Moiint Low! 

 W. F., Hornby Mountains! Mount Maria! just below the top of Mount Adam! 

 Westpoint Island, among rocks near waterfall! Port Philomel, Halfway Cove, on 

 the bank of a stream, one young plant! — Endemic. Localities in S. America are 

 due to incorrect determinations. 



Perezia Lag. 



107. P. recurvata (Vahl) Lag. (Homoianthus echinulatus Cass.) 



Flowers white to azure, lower surface slightly darker. Anthers påle yellow, 



upwards white and with a dark blue appendix. Stigmae white. Strong scent of clover. 

 Rocky and sandy sea-shores. E. F., Port Louis! sandfield between Stanle}" 



and Cape Pembroke ! large hemisphserical bushes, 1 m. high ; Port Harriet in drifting 



sand! Darwin Harbour! W. F., Port Howard! Port Philomel, Halfway Cove! — 



S. Patagonia, Fuegia. 



Leiiceria Lag. 



38. L. suaveoleiis (d'Urv.) Hook. et Arn, (Chabraea suaveolens d'Urv.; Leu- 

 ceria gossypina Hook. et Arn.) 



Few of my specimens exceed 15 cm. Near the wool-shed in Halfway Cove a 

 number of logs had been piled up in the shape of a triangle, leaving a free space in 

 the middle, where there was good shelter; here I found some plants of Leuceria of 

 a very vigorous growth. The largest measured 32 cm. in height and bore leaves 13
