1. L. acerifolia ; foliis suboppositis basi cordatis 5-7-lobis, lobis acutis dentatis, pedi- 

 cellis folio florali brevioribus, lobis calycinis oblongis acuminatis. DC. — Juss. Ann. Mus.

Hab. Conception. — Although De Candolle has described six species of the genus from Chili, particularly 

 from Conception and Valparaiso, and several new ones exist in our collection from the same country, this, 

 as far as we can collect from the notes and specimens, seems to have been the only one observed. 



Ord. XXV. PORTULACEiE. Juss.

1. C. pilosiuscula ; caule suberecto angulato foliisque lineari-spathulatis pilosiusculis, 

 ])edicellis axillaribus folio florali subadnatis racemum terminalem constituentibus. — 

 De Cand. Prodr. v. 3. p. 359. — Talinum eiliatum. Hook. Exot. PI. 1. t. 82. (non Ruiz et 

 Pav. sec. De Cand.) — Tutuca. Feuill. Chil. v. 3. t. 41. 



Hab. Conception. — The Talinum adscendens, Hort. Berol., according- to specimens and seeds we have 

 received from Dr. Fischer of St. Petersburgh, which De Candolle has referred as a variety to C. cofnpressa, 

 Schrad., proves to be identical with C. pilosiuscula. Perhaps even C. compressa is a mere variety, with 

 fewer stamens. 



2. C. tenella ; caule adscendente basi ramoso, foliis anguste linearibus glabris, racemo 

 terminali ramoso, sepalis glabris triangularibus cordatis acuminatis. 



Hab. Valparaiso. — Very closely allied to the last species, from which it principally differs by its small 

 size and its quite glabrous, not ciliated, leaves, which, moreover, have no tendency to become spathulate.

l. CORRIGIOLA. Linn. 



1. C. deltoidea ; caule prostrato, foliis deltoideis longe petiolatis, racemis lateralibus 

 basi bractea spathulata instructis. 



Hab. Conception. — This plant bears a strong resemblance to C. littoralis, having a bractea at the base 

 of the lateral racemes ; but in the latter the leaves are oblong or spathulate, of the same shape with the 

 bracteas ; here they are of a deltoid figure, as in some species of Chenopodium, but much smaller.

 1. TILLjEA. Mich. 



1. T. erecta ; caule basi simpliciter ramoso erecto, foliis connatis oblongo-linearibus, 

 floribus brevissime pedicellatis axillaribus solitariis 4-fklis, petalis 4 erectis calyceni 

 asquantibus. 



Hab. Conception. — We have nothing to add to the specific character, farther than that it most resembles 

 T. moschata, which, however, has a very different habit.
