cm ]ong and 3 cm. broad. Flowers wliite, lower half of staminal tube bright yellow, 

 upper half violet, styles påle lilac. Famoiis for its strong scent of vanilla. 



Sheltered localities in the heath, not uncommon. E. F., near Stanley ! Port Harriet! 

 Moimt William! Mount Low! W. F., Port Philomel, Halfway Co ve! Westpoint 

 Island (Felton ! smuch more scarce than formerly>), on the slope of Byron Heights! 

 higher parts of Mount Adam ! Beaver Island ! — Endemic. Indications that this 

 species has been found in the Magellan territories are evidently based upon Lechler 

 1047 a; I have exarained this plant, but it has nothing to do with L, suaveolens. 



Hieriiciuiii L. 



82. H. antarcticum dUrv. 



Rocky and stony places in the heath. E. F,, PortWilHam! Wickham Heights, 

 W. of Stanley, common! near San Carlos! W. F., common near the sea (Vallentin 

 ex Wright), Fox Bay (Cunningham ex Wright), slopes of Mount Maria! Port 

 Philomel, Halfway Cove ! — S. Chile along the Andes to Fuegia. 



*707. H. austroamericaiium Dahlstedt ex DusÉN, Neue und seltene Gefäss- 

 pflanzen aus Ost- und Siidpatagonien (Arkiv för Botanik 1907). 



Near the sea, rare. W. F., Port Philomel, Halfway Cove! Port Howard ! 

 Scarce on both places. — Discovered by Dusen in Patagonia at the lakes Argentino 

 and San Martin and låter also coUected by me. 



Hypoclioeris L. 



79. H. areuaria Gaud. non Lechler, Reiche, Dusen etc. (H. minima? Willd.

 glabra Hk. et Arn. p. p.) 



Pl. III, f. 2 — 3. There has been a good deal of confusion about this species. 

 This is partly due to the rather inaccurate description in Gaudichaud's paper, 

 especially as he describes the scapi as being simple or branched. But there is only 

 one Hypochoeris found in the Falklands, and thus it is evident that this must be 

 Gaudichaud's species; in other characters give by him it corresponds to Hooker's 

 or my own specimens; especially noticeable are the dimorphous leaves, the oldest 

 entire, the others pinnatifid ; this is to be observed in the greater part of my plants. 

 D'Urville's H. minima is undoubtedly the same as my plant; he did not venture 

 to declare it identical with Gaudichaud's species, probably owing to the ominous 

 »simple or branched» scapes. Thus, it is my belief, that Gaudichaud got his cha- 

 racters from two different plants, of wich the branched one did not come from the 

 Falklands. Nobody has seen a Falkland specimen with a branched scape. D' Ur ville did 

 not find anyting exactly corresponding to such a type, thus he preferred to use another 

 name. But as D'URViLLE't species has been found again and again, we must assume,
