Hab. Coquimbo. — Very nearly allied to V. gratissima of Gillies and Hooker in the Botanical Miscellany, 
differing, however, in its much stouter mode of growth, its larger, more wrinkled, and more scabrous foliage, 
and, especially, in the much more crowded spike.

Hab. Conception. — We think there can be little doubt that this is the A. curvifolia of Bertero in the 
work above quoted, though, unfortunately, as of the other Chilian plants there mentioned, no specific charac- 
ters are given. The leaves are five or six inches long, and filiform: the scape one and a half to two feet 
high. Bertero speaks of it as very common upon stony hills, and as being allied to A. fasciculata. We 
possess, however, other specimens from Conception, gathered by Mr. Cruckshanks and Mr. Macrae, which 
have much shorter, broader, and obtuse leaves, and which we can scarcely distinguish from the British A. 
maritima.
