inferne in petiolum perbrevem attenuates membranaceis, floribus paucis subumbellatis 

 ramos terminantibus, pappo fulvo. 



Hab. Conception. — The leaves, though somewhat resembling in shape those of the preceding species, 

 differ widely in their texture : the arrangement of the flowers is also very dissimilar. 



4. B. resinosa ; frutescens valde ramosa, foliis lato-cuneatis superne angulatis brevis- 

 sime petiolatis coriaceis glabris, floribus terminalibus glomeratis, involucri foliolis pubes- 

 centibus, pappo fulvo. — Humb. et Kunth, Nov. Gen. v. 4. p. 52. t. 323. 



Hab. Conception. — This, as far as we can judge from the specimens, appears to be a true Baccharis. 

 The pappus is tawny : leaves scarcely an inch long, broadly cuneate, truncated at the top, presenting a 

 few angles in the upper half, and remarkably coriaceous. Kunth says that Lamarck's B. cuneifolia is nearly 

 allied ; Sprengel unites them. 



5. B. glutinosa ; suffruticosa, foliis lanceolatis 3-nerviis inciso-serratis glabris junioribus 

 glutinosis glanduloso-punctatis, involucri foliolis margine laceratis. — Pers. Syn. v. 2. p. 425 ? 

 — « Chilca." Feuitt. CHI. v. 2. t. 37. 



Hab. Valparaiso. Mr. Bridges has likewise sent it. — Besides these species, we possess from Chili, 

 gathered near the waterfall at the end of Almendral in Valparaiso, another species, which we cannot dis- 

 tinguish from the B. articulata, Pers. 



14. GNAPHALIUM. Linn. 



1. G. coarctatum ; foliis spathulatis adnatis margine undulato-crispis supra viridibus 

 subtus argenteo-tomentosis, caule simplicissimo folioso, floribus glomerato-spicatis, involu- 

 cre lucido glabro. Spr. — Willd. Sp. v. 3. p. 1886. — G. spicatum. Lam. 



Hab. Conception. 



2. G. chilense ; foliis utrinque argenteo-lanatis inferioribus spathulatis superioribus 

 linearibus, floribus glomerato-spicatis, involucri foliolis nitidis acuminatis. — Spr. Syst. 

 Veget. v. 3. p. 480 ? 



Hab. Conception. — We feel almost certain that this must be the plant gathered by Chamisso, and 

 described by Sprengel, but the characters do not altogether accord. It is certainly, however, not the G. 

 lanuginosum, Kunth, which has acuminated leaves. 



3. G. citrinum ; caule herbaceo erecto tomentoso, foliis lineari-lanceolatis acutis longe 

 decurrentibus supra velutinis subtus albo-tomentosis, corymbis terminalibus, floribus 

 glomeratis citrinis, involucri squamis oblongis obtusis nitidis. 



Hab. Conception. — This appears liable to considerable variation, the upper surface of the leaves being 

 sometimes almost naked, and in other specimens densely velvety. It is about a foot and a half high. It is 

 probably the Elichrysum, &c. of Feuill. Chil. v. 3, t. 13, which figure resembles much our plant in the leafy 

 branches of the corymb. We possess another very curious new species, sent from Valparaiso by Mr. 

 Bridges, which may be thus distinguished : — G. ulophyllum ; annuum, basi decumbente valde ramosum, ubique 

 arachnoideo-lanosum, foliis linearibus acutis decurrentibus undulato-crispatis, corymbis elongatis, floribus 

 glomeratis sordidis, involucri squamis oblongis obtusis nitidis.
