Hab. Conception : probably in the more elevated parts of the country. — We are informed by Mr. Cruck- 
shanks that the generic name ought to be uritten Retamilla, being a diminutive of the Spanish Retamo, or 
Furze. Allied to these two is the genus Trevoa, of which, when it was described in the Botanical Miscel- 
lany, V. 1. p. 158, the flowers of only one of the species was known to us; we have, however, since 
received both in flower from Mr. Bridges, who adds, that T. trinervis is used for fences, and is very abundant 
on all the mountains near Valparaiso.
