44 CHILI. [Eupliorhiacem. 
Hab. Conception. — The specimen in the collection is so indifferent as to prevent us from determining 
it with precision. It may possibly be S. peruviana, Humb. and Kunth. 
Ord. LVII. PROTEACEiE. Juss. 
1. LOMATIA. Br. 
1. L. obliqua ; foliis ovatis serratis glabris, racemis axillaribus, pedicellis calycibusque 
pilosis, stigmate deciduo. Br. in Linn. Trans, v. 10. p. 201. — Embothi’ium obliquum.

Hab. Conception. — Another, and a very interesting plant of this order, the Quadria lieteropliylla, Ruiz 
and Pav. FI. Per. v. 1. p. 64. t. 99. f. b, or the “ Nebu'” of Feuill. Chil. v. 3. t. 33, occurs at Conception, 
but does not appear to have been collected. The nut is much esteemed, and is sold commonly in the market 
of Conception under the name of “ Avellano,” or chestnut. By the liberality of Mr. Cruckshanks, it has 
been introduced to the Glasgow Botanic Garden.

a. rohustior ; foliis linearibus. 
/3. gracilis ; foliis filiformibus. 
Hab. a. Conception. /3. Valparaiso. — We have given no specific character, the other species mentioned 
by Sprengel, or the Arjonia tuberosa, Cav. Ic. v. 4. t. 383, from Patagonia, being hitherto involved in great 
uncertainty, and probably belonging to the Thymelece. 
Ord. LIX. EUPHORBIACE^. Juss. 
1. EUPHORBIA. Linn. 
1. E. rotundifolia ; suffruticosa dilFusa, foliis oppositis rotundatis emarginalis basi leviter 
cordatis integerrimis carnosulis glabris subtus pallidis, stipulis intrapetiolaribus, floribus 
paucis terminalibus umbellatis. 
Hab. Conception. — This belongs to the section “ Anisophyllum” of Roeper in the Botanicon Gallicum, 
but our specimens not being in fruit, prevent our giving a more perfect character. To E. serpyllifolia, 
Pers., and E. serpens, Humb. and Kunth, (one and the same species,) our plant is very closely allied j the 
flowers, how'ever, are not axillary and solitary, but collected, five or six together, on rather short, simple 
peduncles at the extremity of the branches. 
2. E. Lathyris. Linn. — Roeper, En. Euph. p. 67. 
Hab. (/3. minor.) Conception. — We can find no essential difference between the, imperfect, specimen in 
the collection and the European plant, except the much smaller size, being only about fifteen inches high, 
and that the leaves, instead of being flaccid, are inclined to be coriaceous. 
3. E. falcata ? Linn. — Roeper, En. Euph. p. 67. 
Hab. Coquimbo.
