CHILI. 
[ CompositcB, 
15. ERIGERON. Linn. 
1. E. spiculosum ; caule herbaceo anguloso pilis albidis hispidulo, folds lineari-oblongis 
acutis margine (prcecipue) cartilagineo- spinulosis, panicula multiflora, pedunculis pilis 
albis appressis, involucro subpiloso. 
Had. Valparaiso. — Mr. Bridges has likewise transmitted this plant, whose nearest affinity appears to be 
with E. Unifolium, Willd. 
16. SENECIO. Linn. 
1. 8. hipinnatijidus ; frutescens glanduloso-pilosus viscidus, ramis angulatis, foliis semi- 
amplexicaulibus bipinnatifidis, laciniis linearibus obtusis basi subauriculatis, corymbo 
paucifloro, involucro tomentoso, radio patente. 
Hab. Coquimbo. 
2. 8. glabratus ; frutescens glaber, ramis (ultimis) striatis, foliis semiamplexicaulibus 
bipinnatifidis, laciniis linearibus obtusis, corymbo paucifloro, involucro glaberrimo, radio 
patente. 
Hab. Conception. — This may be perhaps a denuded state of the last, but it is perfectly glabrous in all 
its parts : we have only seen one, and that an indifferent specimen. 
3. 8. arnicoides ; caule herbaceo, foliis radicalibus lanceolatis angulato-dentatis obscure 
trinerviis subpubescentibus longe petiolatis, scapo foliis linearibus dentatis bracteiformi- 
bus, triplo longiore, corymbo subtrifloro, radio patente. 
Hab. Conception. — Nearly allied to S. pane for us, Kunth. 
4. 8. nigrescens ; caule herbaceo adscendente ramoso, foliis ovalibus amplexicaulibus 
inciso-lobatis glabris, panicula subcorymbosa, involucro glabro basi paucibracteato, 
radio patente, acheniis striatis pubescentibus. — “ Nillgue.” Feuill. Chil. v. 2. t. 44. 
Hab. Conception. — Although we cannot find this described in any systematic work, we cannot question 
for a moment that it is the plant of Feuillee, of which he says that it is much used for intermittent fevers. 
17. GALINSOGEA. Euiz 8f Pav. 
1. G. parviflo7'ai herbacea ramosa, foliis petiolatis ovatis triplinerviis serratis pubes- 
centibus, pedunculis axillaribus paucifloris, radio 5-floro abbreviato. 8pr . — Willd. 8p. PL 
V. 3. p. 2228. 
Hab. Coquimbo. 
2. G. ? resinosa; caule fruticoso angulato ramoso, ramulis foliisque angustissime line- 
ai'ibus resinoso-glandulosis, floribus paniculato-corymbosis, involucro imbricato inaequali 
viscoso, receptaculo nudo. 
Hab. Coquimbo. — We possess it also from the ViSa de la Mar, near Valparaiso, sent by Mi-. Bridges, who 
says that it is by no means a general plant. We refer it, with some hesitation, to Galinsogea, as the recep- 
tacle is not paleaceous. From Hymenopappus it differs by the presence of a ray, and by its unequal 
involucrum. 
18. HELIANTHUS. Linn. 
1. H. glutinosus ; glutinosus, caule herbaceo erecto ramoso angulato, foliis alternis 
brevissime petiolatis ovato-lanceolatis penninerviis reticulatis inferioribus repando-dentatis
