It is stated in the ‘ Flora Antarctica,’ p. 229, that this plant 
quite conforms to that collected in the Organ Mountains of llio 
de Janeiro by Gardner (his No. 5675) ; this latter plant was 
also found by myself in the same locality, and I made a drawing 
of it on the spot ; but I do not perceive the same resemblance 
between them. There is a striking difference in the length of 
the petiole, which, in the Brazilian plant, is three or four times
