subulate, glabrous, with ciliated margins ; the tube of the 
corolla is 2 lines long, glabrous, with five glands in its moutli ; 
the border is 2^ lines in diameter, white, with red nervures, 
becoming pink when faded ; the stamens, half the length of 
the tube, reach its mouth ; the ovary is 4-grooved, seated on 
a crenulated disk ; the style is about the same length ; the 
stigma, double that length, is annulated at its base, conical, 
and simply 2-fid to nearly its middle*. 
Var. auriatlata ; — caulibus ei’ectis, rugosis ; folds creberrime 
divaricatls, imbricatim tectis ; ramulis paucis, fuscis, granu- 
lato-papillosis ; foliis in axillls approximatls circiter 10, 
longe linearibus, sessilibus, imo latioribus et subauriculatis, 
marginibus subsinuatis, subrevolutis, supra glabris : pani- 
cnlis terminalibus, corymbosis ; stigmate stylo sequilongo, 
apice 3-dentato. — In Chile : v. s. in herb. Hook. (Lobb, 442). 
A plant with the habit of C. congesta., differing in its more 
crowded, more divaricated, longer leaves. It is probably a 
distinct species intermediate between C. congesta and C. si- 
nuata^ differing extremely from the latter in its habit, its longer, 
nan-ower, and more crowded leaves. The leaves (generally 
eight or ten in each approximated axil) are l|-2 inches long, 
1 line broad, quite glabrous above, with subsinuated margins, 
are minutely puberulous or pulverulent below, when examined 
under a strong lens ; the peduncle and its branches are pubes- 
cent ; the acute-lanceolate sepals are pilose on both sides ; the 
cylindrical tube of the corolla is angular and pilose ; the stigma 
(rather longer than the style) is somewhat conical, and 3-den- 
ticulated at its apex. In Bridges’s No. 1838, refen-ed by ])e 
Candolle to H. myosotifolia.! where I have placed it, the stigma 
is invariably as I have there described it; but here it is con- 
stantly 3-lobed or Imperfectly 4-denticulate, as De Candolle 
mentions. There is probably some confusion in the specimens. 
2. Cochranea corymbosa., n. sp. ; — -valde ramosa ; ramis brun- 
neis, rugosis ; ramulis longis, adscendentibus, subflexuosis, 
epidermide rubente laxa rimosa nitente vestitis ; foliis ma- 
joribus fasciculatis, late lanceolatis, acumine brevi obtu- 
sulo, in petiolum longum imo dilatatum senslm cuneatis, 
planis, submembranaceis, tenuissime nervosis, utrinque sub- 
glabris, rugulosis, versus marglnem et in costa subsca- 
brido-pilosis : paniculis in ramulis terminalibus, corymbosis, 
glabris ; pedimculo longissimo, compresso, rubente, nitido, 
superne alternatim et subremote ramoso ; ramulis apice bis
