parvo, lineai’i, erectiusculo, interiore duplo minore, recurvato, bipartite. Receptaculum punctatum, nudum. 
Achenia (vix matura) oblonga, basi attenuata, siccitate rugosa. Pappus subplumosus, sessilis, albus. 
Had. Conception. — We believe that this belongs to the Leucceria of Lagasca, but we do not find any 
trace of paleae among the radiate florets. 
5. CH^TANTHERA. Ruiz ^ Pav. DC. 
1. C. chilensis ; foliis lineari-lanceolatis rariter serratis, inferioribus sericeis. — De Cand. 
in Ann. du Mus. v. 19. p. 70. t. 3? 
Had. Valparaiso.~In our plant the root is annual, and from the crown of it issue several short, usually 
one-flowered stems. The leaves are narrowly spathulate, obtuse, and very sharply toothed. The figure given 
by De Candolle bears hardly any resemblance to oiw specimens, and we should not have had the least idea of 
its being the same, did we not possess a specimen from Chamisso, which is consequently the same as that 
described by Lessing in the Linniea, named as above, and identical with our own. Mr. Cruckshanks, Mr . 
Macrae, Mr. Bridges, and Dr. Gillies have also gathered it at Valparaiso. 
6. BARNADESIA. Linn. 
1. B.? ulicina; foliis subulatis rigidissimis pungentibus, spinis nullis, involucri foliolis 
subulatis rigidis scariosis (flavis), exterioribus recurvis ciliatis interioribus erectis extus 
sericeis, pappo plumoso. 
Hab. Coquimbo. — The only specimen we have ever seen is too imperfect for us even to ascertain the 
genus with any certainty. The habit is very remarkable. The plant shrubby, with glossy, yet slightly tomentose 
branches ; leaves numerous, about three-fourtbs of an inch long, shining, with an obscure nerve at the back, 
grooved within, very rigid, and tipped with a yellow pungent point, bearing always in their axils a cluster 
of young leaves, which are slightly downy. The receptacle is dotted and naked, and the general aspect of 
the flower not unlike that of Carlina vulgaris. 
7. TRIPTILION. Ruiz ^ Pav. DC. 
1. T. spinosum; herbaceum, foliis radicalibus pinnatifidis, caulinis sessilibus inciso- 
dentatis spinosis, caule superne paniculato-corymboso. Spr. — Ruiz et Pav.

1. E. reticulatum ; fruticosum, raiuis angulatis, foliis oblongo-ovatis subattenuatis 
petiolatis crenato-dentatis subcoriaceis subtus reticulatis junioribus prsecipue viscosis, 
panicula corymboso-capitata, involucri sub-13-flori foliolis serie duplici glanduloso-pilosis. 
Hab. Valparaiso. — This seems to approach very near to E. viscosum, Kunth, but that is described with 
a diffuse panicle, u^hile in our plant the flowers are in a compact head.
