MURPHV: RKPDRT l)X THE SOUTH GEnRGIA EXPEDITION". 6l 
PoA FLABELLATA (Lam.) Hook. ( Xos. 1858, iS59and 1769.) 
Collected at I'.ay of Isles, Fel)ruary 24, U)I3. and February 
2. IQ13. 
The largest and most important of the flowering plants 
found on the island. It is the famous "tussock-grass" of the 
Subantarctic and is found on nearly every island where vegeta- 
tion exists. Skottsberg says it makes practically pure associa- 
tions in many i)arts of the island and its large, dense tussocks 
are distinctixe features of the landscajje. This and Fcstiica 
crccta often form a kind of peat. 
Raxuxculus p.iterxatus Sm. ( Nos. 191Q and ii)20. )

A small buttercup of moist or wet places, described by the 
collector as "growing in damp places such as along bases of 
clifl's beneath dripping icicles, etc." 
Acaexa ADSCEXDExs \'ahl. (Xos. iM2r, 1855. 1836 and 1857.) 
Collected at Possession Day. March 13, 11^13. and at Hay of 
Isles. 
Often flowering while the snow is still on the ground, and 
frequently making exclusi\e growths with fcstiica crccta. Ac- 
cording to Skottsberg the form found on South Georgia is the 
variety austro-georgiar Bitter, but our specimens do not seem 
different from the typical .4. adscciidcns Vahl. which is found 
throughout the Subantarctic. The variety described l)y liitter 
is the only alleged endemic flowering plant known on the 
island, all the other undoubted endemic s])ecies Iteing among 
the mosses, lichens and hepatics.
