Page 41. — Sphacele campanulata. — We have already, under this plant, referred, as a synonym, to the 

 Algue Laguen of Feuill. Chil. v. 3. t. 1, which is also the authority for the Phytoxys acidissima of Molina and 

 Sprengel, a name which has the right of priority.

 retained.

Hab. Valparaiso. — Tins plant we long- ago received from Mr. Cruckshanks, and since from Mr. Mathews 

 and Mi\ Bridges ; as well as from Mrs. Graham and Dr. Bertero, who find it at Juan Fernandez ; from the 

 latter gentleman, under the appellation of Poppigia cyanocarpa, MSS., a name we should, gladly have 

 adopted, but that the genus seems scarcely to differ from Citharexylon. The corolla and fruit are the same 

 in both genera : the anthers are ovate, as figured in Rauwolfia fiexuosa, (Ruiz and Pav. Fl. Per. t. 152, which 

 Mr. Don considers a true Citharexylon,) not linear, as described in Citharexylon of Mr. Don : the stigma 

 is 2-lobed, and the inflorescence can scarcely be called racemed. We do not indeed find the petioles to be 

 " callous at the base, and evidently jointed." The leaves are dotted on the underside, as in the Myrtacece. 

 It is named in the country Arayan de Espino, and Arayan macho. — Tab. XI. Fig. 1, Flower; fig. 2, Stamens 

 and stigma ; fig. 3, Fruit, enclosed in the calyx ; fig. 4, Fruit removed from the calyx ; fig. 5, The two nuts into 

 which the fruit separates ; fig. 6, Nut cut open to show the 2 seeds ; fig. 7, Seed : — all more or less magnified.

 imperfect state ; so that we are not able to offer any further remarks upon it.
