Hab. Conception. — This does not differ from the larger state of C. hirsuta found in our country, and 
which Continental Botanists have called C. sylvatica: and it equally appears to be the C. flaccida of 
Chamisso and Schlechtendal, which the former Naturalist gathered also in Chili. 
2. C. tenuirostris ; foliis pinnatis, foliolis omnibus anguste linearibus acutis integerri-

Caules erecti, flexuosi, glabriusculi, striati, subpedales. Folia omnia pinnata, glabra vel, sub lente, pilis 
minutis hirsuta ; foliolis omnibus anguste linearibus, acutis, integerrimis, foliorum superiorum angustissimis. 
Flores corymbosi, majusculi. Pedicelli graciles. Sepala oblonga, erecta, glaberrima. Petala alba, oblongo- 
obovata, in unguem attenuata, sepalis duplo longiora. Siliquce, vix maturae, unciam longse, erectae, graciles, 
basi in stipitem brevem, apice in stylum vel rostrum semiunciam longum, tenuissimum attenuatae. Stigma 
parvum, capitatum. 
Hab. Conception. — In habit this plant is certainly allied to C. pratensis, and especially to that var. 
with narrow leaflets which is described in the Flora Boreali- Americana, under the var. angustifolia : but 
its leaflets, and in particular those of the root-leaves, are still narrower, the flowers are smaller, and, in 
the extremely attenuated beak to the pods, it differs from all the species we are acquainted with.

Hab. Valparaiso. — The specimens in the collection are extremely small, scarcely two inches high, erect 
and simple. Those we have from the same country, gathered by Mr. Bridges, are a foot long, much 
branched, especially from the base. In both we find all the essential characters of the L. hipinnatifidum 
of Desvaux, who justly observes that it is nearly allied to L. bonariense.
