1. E. cicutarium. UHerit . — Geranium cicutarium. Linn. 
Hab. Conception. — This and the two Gerania above-mentioned were pi-obably introduced with the seeds 
of Europsean vegetables, and have now become naturalized. We have specimens of them fi'om Mr. Cruck- 
shanks, Mr. Macrae, and Mr. Bridges. — Nearly allied to this order, and connecting it with the Oxalidece, 
but which Mr. Don has referred to CaryophyllecB, next to Mollugo, is the genus Viviania of Cavanilles, 
“ Ann. de Cienc. Nat. v. 7. p. 211. t. 49.” At the time the account of it was published in the Botanical 
Miscellany, v. 1. p. 174, under the name of Macraa, given to it by Mr. Bindley in Braude’s Journal of 
Science, v. 5. p. 104, we were not aware of its being identical with that of Cavanilles, whose name must, of 
course, be preferred. The same has also been described by Cambessedes, (Mem. du Mus. v. 18. p. 369. t. 
18,) as a new Brazilian genus, and called Casarea. We regret to say that it does not appear to have been 
gathered by the Naturalists of the Expedition, but we possess specimens of three species from Mr. Cruck- 
shanks, Mr. Macrae, and Dr. Gillies, from various parts of Chili. A fourth species from Chili ( V. parvi- 
jloi'a), we have not received ; it has, however, been found by Mr. Macrae.

1. OXALIS. Linn. 
1. O. ? glomerata ; acaulis, foliis trifoliolatis, foliolis linearibus, scapo petiolis elongatis 
duplo longiore, umbella multiflora capitata. 
Hab. Coquimbo. — We have not been able to find more than three calycine segments to each flower, of 
an oblong shape, somewhat 3-toothed at the top ; but it must be observed that the specimens are in a very 
imperfect state. There are 5 yellow petals, about the length of the calyx. The pedicels are bracteated at 
the base. Stamens 10 : Stigmas 5. Pistil as in the genus. 
2. 0. carnosa; herbacea glabra, caule perbrevi dentibus cicatricato, foliolis ternis longe 
petiolatis obcordatis carnosis subtus punctato-chrystallinis, scapo trifloro, calycis foliolis 
duobus exterioribus majoribus planis, radice tuberosa. “ Molina.” — Lindl. in Bot. Reg. 
t. 1063. Hook, in Bot. Mag. t. 2866. 
Hab. Conception. — Mr. Collie notices this as a very succulent, acid, and powerfully antiscorbutic plant. 
3. 0. laxa ; caule simplici folioso brevi, foliolis 3 late obcordatis supra pauce inferne 
densius pilosis ciliatis, petiolis pilosis, pedunculis folio duplo longioribus pilosis apice 
paniculam laxam gerentibus, sepalis pilosis angustissime lanceolatis. 
Hab. Conception. — A small species, with numerous leaves and panicles, which latter exceed the foliage 
in length. 
4. O. parvifolia; caulibus ramosis repentibus glabris, ramulis foliosis, pedunculis 
1-floris, foliolis subrotundo-obovatis emarginato-bilobis ciliatis utrinque adpresso-pilosis, 
petiolis calycibusque pubescentibus, stylis longissirais. DC. — Humb. et Kunth, Nov. Gen. 
V. 5. p. 245. De Cand. Prodr. v. \. p. 693. 
Hab. Conception. — This is very nearly allied to O. filiformis of Humboldt, if it be not the same. 
5. 0. rosea; caule erecto carnoso folioso, pedunculis axillaribus longissimis apice 
corymboso-racemosis, foliolis obcordatis.
