CHILI. 



Botanist should recognize this as the Fuchsia rosea of Ruiz and Pavon, which those authors declare to he 

 found in rocky places ahout Valparaiso, and still more strange that hoth Andrews and Sir J. E. Smith should 

 give it as an inhabitant of the North-West coast of America. It was long- ago introduced to our gardens by 

 Mi-. Menzies from the coast of Chili.

 floris solitariis folio longioribus, sub Hore bracteolis 2 minutis linearibus deciduis, foliis glabris densissimis 

 ovalibus utrinque acutis brevissime petiolatis obsolete paralleHm nervosis pelucido-punctatis, segmentis caly- 

 cinis obtusissimis. — E. Cheken. Mot. Chi I. — Be C'and. Prodr. v. 3. p. 278. — Feuill. Chil. v. 3. t. 32. — 

 Hab. Valparaiso. — This we have also received from Mr. Cruckshanks and Mr. Bridges, but without the 

 vernacular name ; nevertheless it accords so well with the Cheken of Feuillee, that we have little doubt of 

 its being his plant. When the upper leaves fall off, the peduncles appear to be terminal and corymbose, as 

 in that, author's figure.

 foliorum, foliis cllipticis obovatisve obtusissimis coriaceis subtus paUidis (junioribus ramulisque subvelutinis) 

 brevissime petiolatis. — Hab. Valparaiso. — This we have received from Messrs. Cruckshanks and Mathews, 

 both of whom affirm it to be the Temu of Chili ; but it cannot be the Tenuis moschata of Molina, which he 

 considers the Temu of the country, but which, from his description, authors have arranged with the Magnoli- 

 acece, and near to Brimys. — Our plant has quadrifid flowers, and is a true Eugenia, but it may perhaps be 

 the Myrtus Luma of Molina and Sprengel, which De Candolle with doubt refers to his Myrtus midtijiora.

 centibus, foliis obovato-lanceolatis acutis, basi in petiolum attenuatis duplicato-serratis interne glandulosis sub- 

 tus resinoso-punctatis, pedunculis in axillis foliorum termiualium simplicibus vel ramosis braeteolatis, fioribus 

 cylindraceis. Pers. — Hook, in Bat. Mag. t. 2890. Be Cand. Prodr. v. 4. p. 3. — Escallonia Poppigiana. Be 

 Cand. I. c. — Stereoxylon rubrum. Ruiz et Pav. Fl. Per. v. 3. t. 236. b. — Hab. Valparaiso. — This appears 

 to be frequent in Chili, and liable to much variation in the shape of the leaves, in the simple or branched 

 peduncles, in the breadth, &c. of the calycine segments, and in the pubescence and glands : hence we have been 

 led to unite with it the E. Poppigianum of De Candolle, which is indeed the E. rubra of Piippig himself.

Page 25. — 2. L. Cactorum. We have recently ascertained that the plant which we have thus named at 

 p. 25, is the L. aphyllus of Miers, in Bull, des Sc. Nat. v. 19. p. 319, and of De Candolle, Prodr. v. 4. p. 307.

Page 26. — Osmorhiza chilense. This appears to be the O. Berterii of De Cand. Prodr. v. 4. p. 232, which 

 name is of course to be preferred. It is also the Scandix chilensis of Molina and De Candolle.
