Gen. Compos. (No. 1). Inconspicuous; and having a single purple flower. 



Forstera (No. 1). Frequent on the subalpine upland, in tufts and patches, more moss- 

 like than those of the other phgenogamous plants. 



Pratia repens, (No. 1). Frequent on the subalpine upland. 



Pernettya empetrifolia, (No. 1) ; Lamarck 366, 3 ; see also Gaud. PI. 67, but the calyx 

 not fleshy. Humble; growing in tUfts, on the mountains and elsewhere.

 as in Gualtheria. 



(Prionotes Americana, Hook.? No. 1); see Lamarck, 365,2. Nov. Gen.?, agreeing 

 with the Epacridete, at least in habit. Growing in masses around the base of trees, 

 becoming sometimes almost epidendric. 



Empetrum ? rubrum, (No. 3). A shrub, a foot or two high. Everywhere in great pro- 

 fusion, from the sea-coast to the mountain summits. 



Pinguicula (No. 1). On moist declivities ; somewhat rare. 



Primula (No. 3) ; resembling P. farinosa. On moist declivities ; rather frequent. 



Gen. Anagallid. repens, (No. 1) ; Lysimachia of D'Urv., but in habit more like Ana- 

 gallis. Somewhat rare. 



Gentiana (No. 13, and No. 3 with spreading corolla) ; not the G. Magellanica. Fre- 

 quent. 



Hebe decussata, (No. 3). A highly ornamental shrub. ■ Growing along the sea-coast; 

 somewhat rare. 



Ourisia (No. 1) ; allied to 0. Magellanica of Poeppig, but the radical leaves round-ovate. 

 In clefts of rocks along the sea-coast ; rare. 



(No. 2). Small ; the calyx more deeply cleft than in No. 1 ; the flowers purple* 



In moist places on the mountains. 



(No. 3). Minute ; the flowers white. Around the snow-patches on the moun- 

 tain-summits ; rare. 



Armeria (No. 2) ; referred by Gaudichaud to A. cespitosa of Poir. Growing exclusively) 

 but not very abundantly, along the sea-coast; the only plant met with, that could in 

 any way be regarded as maritime. 



• (No. 3) ; perhaps not distinct from No. 2, but nearly stemless. Met with only on 



mountain-summits.
