Hab. Near Conception. — This appears to agree nearly as well with the M. prostrata of Cavanilles as 
with the eriocarpa of De Candolle ; only that the foi’mer is described as having its fruit glabrous, whereas 
our plant has the frait somewhat hairy. The peduncles are solitary, not geminate as in De Candolle’s plant, 
so that we cannot but be doubtful as to the correctness of our name and synonyms. 
2. SIDA. Cav. 
L S. vitifolia; folds cordatis 3-5-lobis pilis stellatis supra parce subtus confertim 
tectis, lobis grosse .crenatis magis minusve acuminatis, petiolo foliis longiore pedunculis 
solitariis axillaribus apice subtrifloris breviore, pedicellis brevibus calyce multo breviori- 
bus, stylis plurimis. — Cav. Ic. v. 5. t. 428 ? De Cand. Prodr. v. 1. p. 471 ? 
Had. Conception. — This does not well accord with Cavanilles’ figure and description above quoted, nor 
can we satisfy ourselves as to the division in which it ought to be placed, since we have no perfect fruit. 
The stem, branches, leaves, petals, peduncles, and calyx, are clothed with dense short stellated pubescence. 
3. CRISTARIA. Cav.

foliis pinnatifidis lobis linearibus distantibus. 
Hab. Coquimbo. — Of this plant there is only one, and that a very indifferent, specimen. It has the 
habit of a Cristaria ; and if it really belong to that genus, it is sufficiently distinct from any of the species 
hitherto described.

Frutex ramosus ; ramis rufuscentibus, glabris, nigro-punctatis. Folia densa, petiolata, trifoliata, foliolis

glandulosi. Flos masculinus: Calyx hinc ad basin fissus, 3-lobus, lobis late ovatis acutis, intus ad basin 
appendicibus membranaceis 10 auctus. Corolla nulla. Stam. 8, hypogyna: Filamenta calyce longiora,

Hab. Coquimbo. — Of this we have to regret that the specimens are very indiflferent ; but they are 
sufficiently perfect for us to ascertain clearly the genus of the plant from the very remarkable structure of 
its flower ; and that the species is an undescribed one, the leaves being covered with black, and, probably, 
when recent, viscid glands. The three species described by Humboldt have simple, not ternate, leaves.
