2 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS: BOTANY.

thanks to Dr. Dusen's assistance, most of the specimens have been prop-
erly named.

It was part of my plan to make the work of permanent value, by having
it well revised ; and once more I appealed to my generous friend Dr.
Dusen. Whilst he was engaged on this troublesome business, Professor
Skottsberg wrote to me for specimens of the plants, thus ensuring a
double revision ; and both have now carefully completed their work.
Their reports, though prepared independently of each other, are singularly
harmonious in the outcome. In a few cases I find it best not to combine
them, but to give each separately, leaving to the readers the privilege of
comparing them.

I have also had the benefit of notes on some Gramineae by Dr. Teodoro
Stuckert, of Cordoba, Argentina ; determinations of species of Accena by
Professor Bitter, of Bremen ; notes published by Professor Rendle, of the
British Museum ; and the revision of Cruciferce by Gilg and Muschler in
the Botanisches Jahrbuch. And I beg to thank all these gentlemen for
seasonable assistance during my ten years' conflict with this affair; also
Dr. W. B. Scott, and Dr. M. S. Farr, of Princeton, for help in correcting
the press. And I cannot but confess my sense of thankfulness to God,
who has spared my health, and given me opportunities of laboring in a
very interesting bit of scientific work.

Whilst not attempting to revise the Cryptogams, I have the satisfaction
of referring for them to the fine reports of the Swedish Southern Exploring
Expedition (1901-1903) which include the botany of Fuegia, of the Falk-
land Isles, of South Georgia, Kerguelen Land, and the South Polar
regions as far as investigated ; all carefully illustrated. Carl Skottsberg's
reports (in German) correlate their Phanerogamic botany ; others give us
the algology, and their Bryological Flora (in French, by Jules Chardot).
This fine book reinforces arguments from other sources, in favor of the
theory that there was a land-connection, in early geological times, between
South America, New Zealand, Kerguelen, Tasmania, and South Georgia,
as well as South Shetland Isles, to which Amundsen's discoveries now
enable us to add Antarctica, with its polar-Andine mountain chain. Both
Skottsberg and Chardot emphasize the service rendered by Dusen in these
questions ; through his work on the Mosses of Patagonia and Fuegia, we
now know of at least 150 additional specie's in those countries, half of
them new to science ; and now the Magellan mosses number 444 species ;

MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 3

to be in all probability 500 species, so soon as those collected by Darwin
during the voyage of he "Beagle" (in 1836) and more recently by
Hatcher, shall find men to examine and name them. Chardot also informs
us that 79 species of mosses are common to Magellan and New Zealand ;
60 common to Magellan and Tasmania; and Skottsberg finds 43 species
common to Magellan and the small island of Kerguelen. All these
figures become significant and interesting when regarded as evidence of
prehistoric connection of lands which are now widely separated. Our
knowledge of the Sedges, and also of the Hooked Sedges (Unciniae), of
the Southern lands, has been advanced by the valuable contribution of
Kiikenthal in Engler's Pflanzenreich ; and I have endeavored to utilize
this help.

PTERIDOPHYTA.

As to the Pteridophytes of this district, we refer to the very important
paper by Dr. C. Christiansen : On some species of Ferns collected by Dr.
C. Skottsberg in temperate South America. — Arkiv for Botanik, Bd. 10,
n. 2. (Stockholm.) When quoting this paper we use the following
abbreviation: C. Chr. Some Ferns.

OPHIOGLOSSUM L. (Chiroglossa Presl, byMacl.)

O. PALMATUM L. Mad., p. I27-1

The species is to be deleted. It occurs in tropical and subtropical
countries, but is not found in Patagonia.

O. CROTALOPHOROIDES Walt.

A very interesting find made in E. Falkland by Dr. Halle, member of
the Swedish Expedition to Patagonia and Fuegia, 1907-1909.

This species occurs also in Central Chili, and in the Southern United
States.

BOTRYCHIUM Sw. Macl., p. 127.

Spore cases sessile in 2 rows on the face of spikes which form a com-
pound panicle.

(Professor Skottsberg regards all the Patagonian specimens of Botrychium as belonging to one
species, which he would provisionally call B. lunaria ; but it differs from that widely distributed
species ; and he had reserved a final decision for further study. The var. Dusenii meets this case.)

S. Patagonia, north of Lago San Martin by Rio Fosiles in denuded
slopes at the height of about 800 m.

The plant is smaller than the type and the base of the stipe is thick-
ened. The sterile frond, scarcely 3 cm. long and 2 cm. broad at its base,
is attached above the middle of the stipe ; pinnae 4-5 on both sides of the
flattened rachis, distant, cuneate-rhombic, convex and recurved at the
truncate end.

Add the following

H RARUM R. Br. — Macl., p. 130.

The occurrence of his species in S. America appears to be somewhat
doubtful. H. rarum 3 omitted in The Reports of the French Cape Horn
Expedition, and has ben found neither by Skottsberg, nor by Spegazzini
and Dus6n. The S.American plant hitherto stated to belong to H.
rarum represents, acording to Christiansen, some forms of 21, Hymeno-
phyllum cuneatum Ke, Anal, pterid., p. 50, which consequently should
replace H. rarum R. Jr.

8 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS : BOTANY.

H, cuneatum Kee seems to be a rather rare plant in this district, found
by Skottsberg in W. Patagonia at Puerto Olale by Golfo de Penas, cer-
tainly no other locality of this species being known from the district we
have in sight. Whether the specimens brought home from S. Fuegia by
J. D. Hooker, and stated by him to represent a variety of H. rarum R.
Br. belong, in fact, to that species may, at present, be an open question.

H. CUNEATUS Kee is found also in S. Chili, Chiloe, and in Juan
Fernandez.

It may also be mentioned that

H. PELTATUM Poir. Desv. — Macl., p. 130 (H. peltatwn Poir) (syn. H.
Wilsoni Hook.) is by C. Christiansen separated from H.falklandicum Bak.
He emphasizes, however, the close affinity between these species. (C.
Christ., Some Ferns, p. 25.) Skottsberg, on the other hand, in his paper
"A Botanical Survey of the Falkland Islands," p. 7, gives H. peltatiim
as a synonym of H. falklandicum.

Gaudichaud and D'Urville are the only botanists who have noticed the

is recorded. Hooker, however, finds it strange that the French botanists
make no mention of Hymenophyllum Wilsoni Hook, although it is
common in those islands

There is, perhaps, some misapprehension regarding H. peltatum (H.

Wilsom], as Hooker seems to presume. Skottsberg has recently expressed
a surmise that the Liverwort Symphyogyna crassifrons Sull. is identical
with T. flabellula. Be this as it may, the last is too problematical to be
recognized as a member of the flora of the Falkland Is.

Description (of the West Patagonian specimens). — Stipe thick, on
one side sulcate, on the other (the opposite) sparingly covered with
fragments of scales, below densely covered with dark brown, very narrow,
cuspidate scales up to 2.5 cm. long; rachis all over densely covered
with small, ferruginous hairs, nearly subtomentose, on the upper side
sulcate ; frond oval, robust, on its under side hispid along the nerves,
at the base at least 3-pinnate ; pinnae subopposite, lanceolate or ovate-
lanceolate ; pinnulae crenate with recurved margins ; sori arranged in a
single row on both sides of the middle nerve of the pinnulae ; spores oblong,
glabrous, diaphanous.

W. Patagonia by Rio Aysen ; in Chili; Juan Fernandez I.

The rank of species has been given to the West Patagonian specimens,
but, according to C. Chr., Ind. Fil., p. 490, D. spectabilis (Phegopteris
spectabilis Fee) represents only a variety of Dryopteris subincisa (Willd.)
Urb. Not having any specimen of the latter at my disposal and, conse-
quently, not being able to state the difference between the typical D.

MACLOSKIE I REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 1 1

subincisa and the West Patagonian plant, I was obliged to treat the speci-
mens from Rio Aysen as a species. I will say, however, that it is very
probably more correct to regard the plant in question as a variety of D.
subincisa.

P. ACULEATUM (L.) Roth var. — Macl., p. 133 (sub Dryopteris].

Only the bare name being given by Macloskie, I may assume that it
refers to the typical form of this species.

Macloskie refers to it as occurring in S. Patagonia, and Reiche in N.
W. Patagonia at Rio Manso and Skottsberg in the deciduous forests of
northwest Patagonia. Although I have seen no specimen from those
localities, I may be allowed to doubt whether it, really, is the typical form
that is meant here.

Add Macl., p. 133 :

B. AUSTRALE L. forma GENUINA (Hicken).

According to C. Christ. Ind. Fil., B. australe and B. auriculatum Cav.
(syn. B. hastatum Kaulf.) are separate species. Mr. Hicken, in his paper
"Quelques Fougeres Argentines," declares that the character considered
to be, above others, of specific importance, viz., the position of the sori,
is very varying. The sori have now a marginal position, again they are
disposed along the middle nerve, but often enough they have an inter-
mediate position. According to Mr. Hicken, B. australe, B. auriculatum
and B. trilobum Presl are all varieties of one species. These varieties are
named genuinum, hastatum and trilobum. Only the first of these, char-
acterized by the position of the sori, being close to the middle nerve,
belongs to our district.

Having examined numerous specimens of B. australe and B. auricu-
latum preserved in the Ricksmuseum in Stockholm I arrived at the opinion
that of the varieties set up by Mr. Hicken at least van genuinum and var.
hastatum represent only extreme forms.

Note. — Philippi has described Lycopodium ckonoticum from the Chonos
Archipelago — see Linnaea, Bd. 29, p. 108 — and compared it with Lyco-
podium paniculatum Remy. Philippi's diagnosis is short and agrees well
with the description of L. paniculatum with the exception of the number
of spikes which are geminate in L. ckonoticum. Philippi's species repre-
sents, perhaps, only a variety of L. paniculatum.

Having seen no specimen of L. chonoticum I prefer to draw attention
to the possible occurrence of L. selago L. a species or variety of a species
of Lycopodium in our district. (P. D.)

Lycopodium selago is northern, especially European, an isophyte,
rejoicing in temperate climates, and surroundings. Some of its varieties
are subantarctic ; the L. selago var. Aschersonii is domesticated in the

3O PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY.

According to O. Kuntze, Rev. IIP, p. 371, Vahl was the first to
describe S. humilis, and this statement has induced both Spegazzini and
Macloskie to assign to Vahl the origination of this species, but for this
there is no reason at all, as Vahl has not described S. humilis. O. Kuntze
cites Vahl's Icones tab. 466, but this work of Vahl's only contains a few
tables. Neither does the table referred to, with a reproduction of 5".
humilis, occur in the above work of Vahl's, but is found in Cavanille's
"Icones Plantarum," and, accordingly, Cavanille should be quoted as the
author of S. humilis. D.

STIPA LIGULARIS (Gris.) Speg. — Macl., p. 173.

Any Patagonian habitat for this species I am not aware of and, in the
literature, can find no statement of its being seen as far south as Rio
Colorado. Its range as given by Spegazzini rather tends to confirm than
contradict my supposition that it does not reach the limits of North Pata-
agonia. It may, therefore, be safer not to count it as belonging to the
Patagonian flora just yet.

S. SPECIOSA Trin. et Rupr. subsp. CHRYSOPHYLLA (Desv.)
Syn. 5. chrysophylla Desv.

Macloskie has placed Stipa chrysophylla Desv. as synonymous with
Stipa speciosa — Macl., p. 175 — while Desvaux and Spegazzini take up
both as independent species. These species certainly do not exactly
coincide, but, on the other hand, are scarcely specifically distinct, as the
descriptions of them given by Spegazzini in his explanation of the Stipece
Platenses seem to show. It is, in my opinion, more correct to place S.
chrysophylla as a subspecies of S. speciosa.

Hackel has confirmed my opinion and states that the two forms cannot
be brought together as identical, the differences in size of the spikelets
and the awns as well as of the coloration of the lower part of the sheaths
separating them.

MACLOSKIE I REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONIGA. 31

I avail myself of this opportunity of correcting an error in a previous
work of mine, "Die Gefasspflanzen der Magellanslander." My statement
about Stipa chrysophylla Desv. having been found in the district between
Lago Argentine and Ultima Esperanza is erroneous and refers to Stipa
pogonathera Desv.

S. speciosa occurs in N. Patagonia, by Lago Nahuel-huapi and north-
wards to Mendoza, the subsp. chrysophylla also in N. Patagonia, Neuquen
Territory, and northwards to Atacama.

S. TENUIS Phil. — Macl., p. 176.

Macloskie states Stipa argentina Speg. to be synonymous with this
species. The author himself being of opinion that it should be considered
a variety of the same, we may let it remain as such for the present. It
should be pointed out, though, that the difference between the species and
the variety is very slight. Any specimens of the latter I have not had at
hand.

Stipa tenuis Phil. var. argentina (Speg.) does not occur in our district.

the same length and by awn being glabrous or at the most scabrous-
puberulous at the base, but never covered with long hairs. D.

There is, in fact, very little difference between A. alpinus Sm. and A.
antarcticus Vahl, as E. Hackel informs me. The last mentioned usually
is higher ( i m. or still more) and has much longer awn than the former.
Its spike varies in length and thickness and the color of the glumes is
also varying. The A. alpinus itself sometimes attains a considerable
height. The only character of any importance separating them is the
much longer awn of the glumes in A. antarcticus. This difference, how-
ever, scarcely gives sufficient reason for separating them specifically. A.
antarcticus, therefore, may be placed as a variety of A. alpinus.

A. ALPINUS Sm. var. ANTARCTICUS (Vahl) f. LECHLERI (Steud.).
Syn. Alopecurus Lechleri Steud. Syn. Glum., I, p. 148.

It is, in my opinion, impossible to separate, at least specifically, A.
Lechleri Steud. and A. alpinus Sm. I have had the opportunity of
examining two specimens of the first mentioned collected at Valdivia or
not far from there. The one has the upper part of the culm naked ; in
the other the culm is sheathed quite up to the spike. Other differences
do not exist. Both specimens are characterized by narrow, subconvolute
and subpungent upper leaves and very small spike. The same form was
observed by me in the beech forests by Lago Argentino, Lago Viedma
and Lago San Martin and probably occurs in the whole district of A.
alpinus var. antarcticus.

The two specimens now in question belong to the collection of Chilian
plants made by W. Lechler and distributed by R. F. Hohenacker. The
one (No. 440) is determined as A. Lechleri Steud., while the other (No.
532) is labelled A. alpinus Sm. They represent, however, evidently only
one form standing very near to A. alpinus var. antarcticus and differing
merely by its comparatively small spike and upper leaves being subcon-
volute, subpungent and narrower than in the var. of A. alpinus Sm. In
my opinion the present plant represents only a form of A. alpimis var.
antarcticus; it occurs in the forest district of S. Chili and probably of the
whole of W. Patagonia, but scarcely outside the forest. D.

and A. antarcticus Vahl., under the name of A. alpinus, but for this there

MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 35

was, in fact, no very good reason. The specific name antarcticus is older
than alpinus, and, besides this, there is really a certain small difference
between these two, the awns being much larger in A. antarcticus than in
A. alpinus. I therefore think it will be more correct to note the latter as
a variety of the former. Macloskie separates them, and also names A.
antarcticits var. alpinus (A. alpinus Sm.) ; but A. antarcticus var. alpinus
(A. alpimis Sm.) is an arctic plant and not known from S. America, and
should therefore be eliminated from his explanation. D.

Yesterday when visiting (June 30, 1913) Upsala I called Skottsberg's
attention to his opinion about Alopeciirus fulvus, geniculatus, and alpi-

Alopecurus antarcticus Vahl. (Macl., p. 179) is the right name, A.
magellanicus and A. alpinus v. aristatus Hook. fil. being synonyms.

Alopecurus Leckleri Steud. Mel., p. 180, is undoubtedly only a form of

AGROSTIS L.

A. ABERRANS Steud. — Macl., p. 184.
Syn. A. flavidula Steud.

A. aberrans and A . flavidula are represented by one specimen each in
Herbarium Stockholmiense emanating from W. Lechler Plantce Magel-
lanicce in which collection A. aberrans is numbered 1219 and A . flavidula
1225, the very same numbers referred to in Steudel's description of the
species — Steud. Syn. Glum., I, pp. 421 and 422. Both species have
the same habit, which induced me to examine them more closely.

The specimen of A. flavidula is a couple of straw-colored individuals,
evidently taken at the close of the vegetating season. That of A. aberrans
is a single one, in size and proportions analogous to the former, but with
fully open blades, whilst those of A. fiamdula are conduplicate. In addi-
tion there are two panicles of the very considerable length of 16 cm., the
same size that is given in the description.

A. flavidula, Steudel says, has "valvulasolitaria." This does not tally
with the specimen examined by me, which must be taken to represent
Steudel's species. All flowers examined by me had a rounded, diminu-
tive palea (valvula superior).

In Steudel's description of A. aberrans there is the following very inex-
plicit clause : "valvulis subaequalibus . . . (quandoque exteriore abbrevi-
ata)." My examination, however, of the specimen in question shows the

MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 37

flowers to be entirely like those of A. flavidula, and the floral glume
papilliferous. In other respects, apart from their size, I have not been
able to see any difference between the two species and, therefore, consider
them identical.

Both were published at the same time. Flavidula, for obvious reasons
not being a proper denomination, I deem it better to adopt aberrans as the
specific name.

It may be questioned whether A. Kufuim Speg. should not also be
merged in A. aberrans. Having had no chance of examining any speci-
men, and the description of the first named, in some particulars, not quite
agreeing with A. aberrans, A. Kufuim, I think, at least at present, should
be allowed to retain its position as an independent species. Spegazzini
collates A. Kufuim with A. montemdensis Spr., while A. aberrans rather
reminds of A. umbellata Colla.

In this connection I wish to draw attention to an error in my previous
work "Die Gefasspflanzen der Magellanslander." On page 219, A.
Kufuim is said to occur in Magellan and Fuegia, but this applies rather
to A. aberrans. D.

Besides, the fertile glumes are very often awned. In all probability,
though, also A. Buchtienii has awned glumes, as the middle nerve of the
same ends abruptly in their upper third. To judge by the description,
Agrostis santacruzensis Speg. may also stand near to A. Buchtienii but

more open, and slightly nodding panicle, by its glumes being scabrous at

According to Steud. Syn. Glum., I, pp. 421-422, A. cognata is closely
allied to and, may be, separated only as a variety from A. magellanica.
Steudel says it differs from the last named species by "valvula solitaria"
and my examination of a specimen in Stockholm Herbarium of A. cognata
numbered 1 123 in W. Lechler Plantce Magellanica confirms his statement-

In outer appearance A. cognata coincides with A. magellanica, and the
only difference between them is that the latter has a rudimentary palea,
whilst A. cognata has none at all. This slight disparity is not sufficient
for separating them specifically, and I, therefore, place A. cognata as a
variety of A. magellanica. D.

solution as to the systematic arrangement of the north-European species

to this paper of Murbeck, unfortunately written in Swedish. I quote the
complete synonymy of Murbeck," as to this species.

In his dissertation " North American Species of Agrostis," A. S.
Hitchcock, from the single specimen in Linne's Herbarium of A. stolon-
ifera (which, according to a note in Linne's own handwriting, was found

42 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY.

in Attica), concludes that this species does not belong to the North Euro-
pean flora, but is indigenous in the warmer parts of the old and new
world. In Linnd's Flora Suecica, however, A. stolonifera is given as
common, and in his Species Plantarum there is appended to its name the
somewhat inexplicit note "in nemoribus." Possibly Linnd's A. stolon-
ifera includes two species ; but be this as it may, it can be safely presumed
that the species from the Falkland Islands here referred to, namely, A.
stolonifera is identical with the Scandinavian form and not with that
South European form or species to which Hitchcock would confine the
name A. stolonifera.

This species having a very limited range in peraustral South America,
being, in fact, found only in the Falkland Islands and, in all likelihood
there confined to the vicinity of Port Stanley, must in all probability have
been introduced. D.

Magellanicce without addition of a description cannot, however, according

spreading, 10 cm.; glumes equal, oblong, acute; upper valve shorter than
lower ; seta exsert below the middle, scarcely exceeding the valve.

Europe, N. Amer.; Patagonia, Fuegia.

From not a few localities in Fuegia, as well as southern and western
Patagonia, I have brought back specimens of this species, and the materia,
thus collected was defined by Professor E. Hackel. Later on, that
Swedish expert in North-European Calamagrostides, Dr. S. Almquist has,
likewise, examined the same specimens and arrived at the same results as
Hackel. Almquist, however, goes a step farther than Hackel, inasmuch
as he divides the material into two groups, of which the one comprising
the majority of specimens is characterized by the culm being compara-
tively thick and robust, thereby differing from the typical C. neglecta.
According to Almquist this form should be taken to be a subantarctic
breed of the present species.

To the other group belong the specimens collected at Rio Aysen in W.
Patagonia. These also have a very robust culm, but show a more marked
difference from the type by their longer and denser, slightly nodding
panicles, which are sometimes discontinued at the base. These latter
Almquist takes as a subspecies of C. neglecta.

That also E. Hackel has noticed the greater discrepancy of the speci-
mens from the Rio Aysen valley, is evident by a note by him on the label
attached: "An C. poceoides Steud.?" and this presumption is, naturally,
supposed by Steudel's description of his species. Whether, in fact, the
specimens in question are identical with C. poceoides, cannot be decided
without a comparison with an authentic specimen of that species. Until
this point shall have been settled, I think, the baptism of the subspecies
might be deferred.

By the examination of the material referred to, it has been conclusively

proved that another of the North European grasses is to be added to the
"pretty many" previously known which, in a typical or modified form,
recur in the peraustral parts of S. America. D.

A. ATROPURPUREA Wahlb. — Macl., p. 198.

Some time ago I stated that the figure of this species given in Flor.
dus. (sub A. magellanica] agrees exactly with specimens of the same
species preserved in the Stockholm Herbarium. I have also expressed
the view that this species, in fact, must be transferred to the genus Des-
champsia, in accordance with the exposition of the Gramineae in Engler
and Prantl Nat. Pflanzen-familien ; viz. its subgenus Vahlodea as already
noted in that work. I have not, however, made such a transfer, as that
will involve too many changes to be attempted at this time. Deschampsia
antarctica is by Skottsberg transferred to Aira. I have carefully ex-
amined the species and think it is undoubtedly a Deschampsia. But as a
new systematic arrangement of the Grasses is probably coming, we can-
not discuss these equations at present. D.

Macloskie has, according to Desvaux in Flor. Chil., VI, p. 340, put
down Aira magellanica Hook. fil. as synonymous with the present species,
to which there is no reasonable objection to be made. Though I have
not seen a specimen of A. magellanica, J. D. Hooker's reproduction of
it in Flora Antarctica, II, Tab. 134, appears to be identical with Aira
atropurpurea. D.

Macloskie's introduction of Koeleria Bergii may be right, as the speci-
mens are from Rio Chubut ; but being so, it is not certain whether they
belong to the type (var. typicd] or not. K. sterilis probably does not be-

This species belongs probably to the section Dioicopoa. The description
of Poa pubiflora Benth. shows that a very close relation exists between
that species and the present. P. pubiflora is denoted by "palea inferior
undique molliter pubescens et carina longiuscule ciliata," while in P.
Dusenii the floral glume is hairy only in its lower part and its carina
scarcely ciliate. Bentham's brief diagnosis gives no statement about the
ligule which, therefore, must be presumed not to show any conspicuous

in the Chubut Territory, Taka-choique ; N. Patagonia ; W. Patagonia,
upper Rio Aysen ; Chili.

N. B. Hordeiim secalinum Schreb. was published 1771 and Hordeum
pratense Huds. 1778 in the second edition of Hudson, Flora Anglica (not in
the ist edition of 1 762). Hordeum nodosum L. was published in 1 762 in the
2d edition of Species Plantarum and is, according to Ascherson and
Graebner, a quite doubtful plant. There is no Hordeum secalinum L.

Macloskie's exposition of this genus contains many species and varie-
ties which must be deleted, viz., H. chilense Brongn. (Mac!., p. 249; H.
pratense Huds., Macl., p. 250). This species was published not in 1762
(ist ed. of Hudson's Flora Anglica), but in 1778 (2d ed. of that work).
Macloskie also states that H. secalinum L. of 1771 is synonymous with
H. pratense Huds.; but there is no H. secalinum of L., and Macloskie
must refer to H. secalinum of Schreb., which was published in 1771. H.
nodosum L. of 1 762 is according to Ascherson & Graebner, in their Flora
of Central Europe, quite a doubtful plant. Hence it is certain that H.
pratense Huds. (of Macl., p. 250) must be replaced by H. secalinum
Schreb. D.

Macloskie also mentions H. pratense as occurring in N. Patagonia, a
statement apparently based on the Rio Negro Report, which refers to a
form very near to H. secalinum as occurring near Rio Negro. In har-
mony with this we would replace the Hordeum pratense chilense Desv.
(E. Fuegia, Dusen), Macl., p. 251, by H. secalinum Schreb. var. chilense
(Brongn.) Desv., as the same name appears in Dusen's Gefasspfl. Magell.,
p. 233, and emanated from Hackel, who determined his specimens.

Macloskie's statement that H. pratense Huds. (that is, H. secalinum
Schreb.) occurs in Patagonia is erroneous. Thus far it is not known
from any part of the district, but its var. chilense is reported from Pata-
gonia and from Fuegia by all the botanists who have reported on the
flora of the steppe district. Hence there can be no question but that H.
pratense Huds. must be replaced by H. secalinum Schreb. var. chilense
(Brongn.) Desv. The above mode of writing indicates that it was Des-
vaux who gave H. chilense of Brongn. its place as a variety of H. secalinum
Schreb. D.

As to Hordeum pratense Brongniartii (Macl., p. 251) and H. pratense
chilense Desv. (p. 251), a comparison of Macloskie's descriptions of these
varieties demonstrates their identity. Besides this the description of Hor-

66 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY.

deum pratense Brongniartii (Wad. , p. 251) is a complete verbal translation
of H. secalinum Schreb. var. chilense (Brongn.) Desv., as given by Des-
vaux in Gay, Flor. Chil., VI, p. 458. Also by oversight Macloskie gives
one and the same plant, viz., H. secalinum var. chilense (Speg., Prim.
Flor. Chub., p. 630, in collibus siccioribus) as belonging both to Hordeum
chilense Brongn. and to H. pratense Brongniartii Macl.

Hence we must delete from Macloskie's list H. pratense, H. chilense,
H. pratense Brongniartii and H. pratense chilense, deleting the first of
these, and absorbing the other three in H. secalinum var. chilense (Brongn.)
Desv. This occurs in E. Fuegia ; Patagonia, in the steppe from its north-
ernmost to its southernmost section ; hitherto, however, not known from
the coast-district. D.

CYPERACE^-CARICOIDE^. SEDGES AND SEDGE-LIKE PLANTS.

Taking the term Sedges in its wide sense, as including the Uncinia or
Hooked-Sedges, and the Carices, or Hookless Sedges, Kiikenthal (in
Pflanzreich IV, 20, 1909), compares them with the World of Grasses, by
noting that they differ from Grasses in having the culms not cylindrical,

68 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS : BOTANY.

and not hollow and jointed, but triangular, solid and jointless ; and that
in the seed the minute embryo is enclosed in the endosperm at its base,
the seed being itself enclosed in the lodicule, whilst the embryo of Grasses
remains external to the endosperm, the leaves being in 2 rows in the
Grasses and 3-ranked in the Cyperaceae.

Kiikenthal divides the Sedge-like plants into a large number of chief
sections, distinguished partly by structure and partly by habitat; and
groups all the leading species within a comparatively small number of
genera : the chief genera being Uncinia, or Hooked Sedges, which are
chiefly characteristic of the Southern Hemisphere, and Carex, which is
cosmopolitan. In the first half of the Caricoideas, we encounter three
genera, Schcenoziphium, Cobresia, Uncinia, and in the latter half the only
genus is Carex.

The first of the genera, which we may call No. i is confined to Africa,
and characterized by very simple monoscious flowers. The next genus,
No. 2, is Cobresia Willd., containing numerous species in the Asiatic alps,
and two species found in the Arctic and alpine parts of Europe, and in
the Canadian mountains. They form four sections of genus Cobresia.
Our next type is the genus Uncinia Pers., having two subgenera, and two
sections of the first subgenus, thus named.

Genus Uncinia, with hooked rachil ; No. 7.

Subgenus Eu- Uncinia, rachil long-hooked; No. 8.
Subgenus having two sections.

Section i, Platyandrae, filaments dilated; No. 9.
Section 2, Stenandrae, filaments filiform, not dilated ; No. 10.
Subgenus Pseudocarex Kiikenth., rachil with very short hook ;

No. 1 1 .
Lastly we have the type,

Genus Carex L., No. 12, usually with no rachil, and never with a
hook.

UNCINIA Pers.— Macl., p. 268.

The appearance of Kiikenthal's treatise on Cyperaceae-Caricoideae enables
us to improve our treatment of the Patagonian sedges. As the only dif-
ference between Uncinia and Carex appears to be that -in all the Unciniae
the seta is hooked at the apex, whilst it is never hooked in Carex ; we
may distinguish them as the Hooked Sedges and the True Sedges.

Kukenthal gives the Uncinia kingii Boott a place by itself, because its

MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 69

hook is very small, thus setting it up as the type of the subgenus Psetido-
carex. The other sections (together making Eu-Uncinia] art Platyandrce,
with dilated filaments, and Stenandrce, with filiform filaments, and
smooth utricles.

All the 21 species of Uncinia are found in the Southern Hemisphere,
in the Antarctic Islands, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, in the moun-
tains of South America; with stragglers northwards as far as Jamaica
and the Sandwich Islands. And a few species occur in Chili, Patagonia,
Fuegia and the Falkland Is.

In the Patagonian flora, we have —

NOTE ON THE GENUS CAREX, SEDGE.

Carex contains about 800 existing species, scattered over the world ;
and also remains of many more fossil species. The one great genus is
arranged by Kiikenthal under four subgenera, and 69 sections, including
numerous subsections, each of which stands for an array of species, closely
allied to each other.

For the Patagonian species our most convenient method is to attend
especially to such of the sections and subsections as are represented in the
flora of that region ; and thus to confine our attention to this part of the
large Sedge Family ; and the sections and other groups are numbered for
convenience of reference.

The proper province of this species is the tropical parts of the Old and
New World, but, in the latter it extends into its subtropical section, and,
in S. America, reaches Paraguay and, probably, also the subtropical part
of Argentina. At high floods in the River Plate basin it is, not seldom,
carried down its estuary, but it is only as an occasional visitor it appears
in the latitude of Buenos Aires and La Plata. It certainly does not
belong to the flora of S. Argentina, and still less to that of Patagonia.
There is, therefore, not the slightest doubt that it should have no place
in a representation of the flora of our district.

Falkland Ids.; E. Fuegia: Coy Inlet, Patagon.

We observe that Skottsberg in his description of the Vegetation of
the Falkland Islands "a Botanical Survey of the Falkland Is.," p. 19,
expresses the opinion, that the specimen now being considered, which
was found by him in the Falklands, is not an independent species, but
only a reduced form of y. Scheuchzeriodes Gaud., agreeing with the
variety inconspicuus (d'Urv.) Gaud, of that species. (See above under
y. depauperatus Phil.) The distribution of this variety is, according to
Skottsberg; Falkland, Fuegia, S. Georgia, Campbell I.

Also in NW. Patagonia, Rio Manso ; W. Patagonia, Rio Aysen.

J. MARITIMUS Lam. — Macl., p. 299.

According to Buchenau, in Pflanzenreich, June., p. 154, this species,
S. American, extends south into Argentina, and it would therefore not be
surprising if it should be met with also in the neighboring parts of Pata-
gonia. Any other statement of its occurrence there than Macloskie's on
page 299, I have not seen ; the specimens referred to by Macloskie were
collected by Hatcher, no doubt in S. Patagonia. I have not seen them

nevertheless, may be allowed to express a slight doubt of the correctness
of Macloskie's determination. D.

In "Die Gefasspflanzen der Magellanslander " I have given this species
from Buchenau's determination as indigenous to Fuegia. In Pflanzen-
reich June., p. 75, it is not stated to occur in our district, evidently
because the determination has turned out to be incorrect. My own exami-
nation of the specimens has shown that, without doubt, they belong to L.
chilensis. From typical specimens, however, they differ, as previously
pointed out, in having more remotely attached spikelets. D.

in its much shorter bracts, shorter-stalked flowers and shorter perianth-
lobes.

T. NIVALIS Poepp. var. ANGUSTILOBA Speg. — Macl., p. 307.

In my opinion identical with Tristagma ameghinoi Speg. and has,
therefore, been transferred to that species. D.

Also in S. Patagonia, Lago Argentine in the mountains on denudated
ground ; to the north of Lago San Martin in the mountains along the
Rio Fosiles, c. 1,000 m.

Spegazzini describes the plant as having a bulb ; this description is not
quite correct. The subterraneous stem consists of a well-developed
rhizome ending with an oval bulb. The roots emanate not from the bulb,
as stated by Spegazzini, but from the rhizome.

ALSTRCEMERIA NANA Rendle. — Rendle Patag. Plant, p. 325.

Flowering stems 10 cm. high, 2 mm. thick, usually reddish above :
scales 6-8 mm. long; stems sometimes bearing scales almost to the
flower : in other cases short linear leaves at apparent nodes. Leafy stems
half as long and thick as the flowering stems ; the leaves 25 mm. long, 2
mm. broad. Perianth-lobes 2 cm. long, the outer 7-8 mm. broad. Stamens
and style shorter than the perianth ; anthers i mm. broad ; stigmas linear.

Top of Mt. Frias and Beach of Lago Argentine.

Differs from the Andine species A. Pygmcza Herb, (which is i -flowered)
in not having a leafy involucre around the flower, and in having narrower,
less fleshy leaves. "Near A. patagonica which I know only from a brief
description by Macloskie ; stigmas elongate, broad, margined," would
not apply to our plant. (A. B. Rendle.)

Should probably be deleted. This species belongs to the flora of Peru
and does not occur in Patagonia, or its occurrence here is, at least, very
doubtful. According to Holmberg (Holmberg, Amarill. Argent.) this
species is not observed in Patagonia. My earlier statement of its occur-
rence in Fuegia is incorrect. D.

Professor Skottsberg writes : "I have compared true Alstrcemeria
pygmcea from Bolivia and Peru with this plant from Patagonia, called by
Philippi A '. patagonica ; they are different species."

Arachnites Pfitz. has the limb of leaf suddenly contracted to a petiole ;
sepals long, tailed. Pfitzer & Kraenzlin make it a section of Dendro-
chilmn; several species in the Orient; but no A. uniflora is named, and
no Dendrochilum uniflorum in their Orchidaceae.

Fam. 21. ORCHIDACEAE. — Macl., p. 320.

In Engler und Prantl, Die natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien, the genus
Asarca is not separated from the genus Chlorcza, nor is it in Macloskie's
representation of the present family. One of the most modern works on
orchids is that by Fr. Kraenzlin, entitled " Orchidacearum genera et
species," the vol. II, pars I (1904), of which contains the Chlorideae.
Here we find Asarca separated from Chloraa. The following enumera-
tion of the species of our district is based on that work.

ASARCA Lindl.

Kraenzlin distinguishes this genus by (i) the union of the lateral sepals
below or behind the labellum ; (2) a very short column united with the
claw of the labellum ; (3) two fruiting glands at the base of the labellum ;
(4) the hollowed claw of the labellum, resembling a gland.

A. ARAUCANA Phil.

Stem 50 cm. long, leafy half-way ; lower leaves sheathing, linear lance-
olate, acute; cauline leaves more swollen. Spike mostly few-flowered,
bracts lanceolate, surpassing the ovary. Dorsal sepal broadly ligulate,
acute, scarcely concave ; laterals broadly ovate, contracted to a tail ; petals
obovate, oblong. Nerves papillate near the base. Labellum shortly
clawed with 2 basal calli ; the lateral lobes diverging and reflexed, oblong
rounded. Gynostemium very short. Flowers white, angled with the
ovary with green lines, and green tails of the lateral sepals.

This genus has been given the same limitation here as in Engler and
Prantl, Die natiirlichen Planzenfamilien. A division of same, however,
has been undertaken by Van Tieghem, whose arrangement is found in the
above work. The old genus Myzodendron he splits into not less than
four separate ones, and this division he founds on the different habits of
the sterile and fertile branches in the same individual, the appearance and
grouping of inflorescences, the number and arrangement of flowers and
nature of stamina and position of bracteae. These genera with their
species, in so far as they belong to our district, are as follows :

lower about i cm. long, the upper decrescent, all uninervous on the under-
side ; inflorescence spiciform, short, few flowered ; bracts dark-brown (at
least in the dry plant), broad ovate, cochleate, rigid, acute, on the outside
covered with long hairs ; perigonium funnelform, outside silky, inside
with a short hairy line above the stamens, also glabrous, deeply divided
into five oblong-ovate, acute lobes, tube long, ampliated upwards ; stamens
attached at the mouth of the tube and with nearly sessile anthers.

This species differs from all other species of the present genus in its
thick, trigonal, usually strict leaves showing a single nerve on their
underside. The nerve scarcely runs out into a point.

QUINCHAMALIUM Juss.— Macl., p. 342.

The species of this genus are in need of a thorough revision, but on
account of want of material I have not been able to undertake it. I
should not omit pointing out, though, that, according to A. B. Rendle,
the species occurring in the vicinity of Lago Argentino — as far as I am
aware there is only one found there — is identical with Quinchamalium
procumbens Ruiz et Pav., which Rendle considers to be, in all probability,
the same as Q. chilense Lam. On the other hand, it is doubtful whether
Lamarck's species is identical with Q. chilense Lam. The last species is
very unsatisfactorily described, and, according to Philippi Cat. Plant. Chil.,
it includes all the species of this genus. Rendle further observes, in
Journal of Botany, Vol. 42, p. 327, that the specimen of Q. dombeyi
Brongn. of the British Museum agrees with Q. procumbens Ruiz et Pav.
From this it appears certain that a revision of this genus should result in
a very considerable reduction of the number of species. D.

very well, except in one particular. According to O. Kuntze, the inner
perianth-leaves of ft. crispissimus have a globose callus. This is not the
case with R. decumbens, although its inner perianth-leaves really are pro-
vided with callus-like swellings ; but they consist of a loose, pulpose
texture with pretty large and air-filled cells. With that exception, both
descriptions agree and it, therefore, appears to me as if O. Kuntze, some-
what hastily, had assumed the swellings of the perianth-leaves to be
callus-formations, and had not taken the trouble to ascertain if they
actually were such. (Dusen.)

Spegazzini and Skottsberg unite both species into one.

South Patagonia in dry steppe at Richmond farm, not far from Sta. Cruz
Emporium ; collected in S. Patagonia also by the Princeton University
Expedition, but locality not indicated.

Perennial ; rhizome upwards about 4 mm. thick, divided into few, short
branchlets covered with old, fragmentary leaves and bearing at top a dense
fascicle of filiform leaves about 4.5 mm. long and 0.5 mm. broad, often
subrecurved, glabrous or, at first, marginally ciliolate, when dry with
strongly recurved margins, the robust middle nerve very prominent under-
neath, callous at top, acute, sessile, abruptly passing into the broad and
short, membranaceous sheaths marginally ciliate ; scapes elongate, to 22
cm. tall, slender, below about 0.8 mm. thick, substriate, glabrous, trino-
dose with small, opposite, linear leaves, being marginally ciliate below and
broader and united at base; pedicels slender, 3-6 cm. long, upwards
glandulous puberulous, i -flowered, solitary or two or three emanating
from the uppermost node ; flowers erect, small ; calyx only somewhat
inflated, about 1 1 mm. long and 6 mm. wide, almost glabrous, lobed to
about one-third of its length with ovate, acute lobes ; petals with conspic-
uous, rotundate auricles and small, narrow appendices, being longer than
broad and usually emarginate, the blades about 14 mm. long, deeply
(more than to the middle) bilobed, the lobes being linear and rounded at
top ; styles 5 ; capsule sessile.

A very well-marked species, differing from all other South American
species of the present genus in the narrowness of its leaves and the
smoothness of most of its parts.

The following summary of the Patagonian species of this genus is

Bd. 21, p. in.

Note by Macloskie. — Muschler's revision collects into one genus, Coro-
nopus (L.) Gaertn. about 45 species, of all countries, hitherto scattered
among half a dozen different genera; all of them short-fruited, and with
the characters of Coronopus as in Macl., p. 427, to which some negative
characters may be added ; that the fruits are not pendulous, nor winged,

MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 129

rarely cuneate at base ; the style is short, often very short, and the reticu-
lation of the seeds almost obsolete. The illustrations given furnish the
differences of fruit and of floral plan on which the order is broken up into
sections. Muschler boils down the 45 species of several genera into ten
species of a single genus ; with however a subgenus, and three sections,
and other subspecies, and varieties, and "forms." Each of his species
is not a unit, but a combination of units, as he declares. This course
appears to us to be practically convenient, rather than theoretically scien-
tific ; to be a striking instance of the pragmatistic method of dealing with
a troublesome case. His first section, Carara DC, has subreniform sili-
cules, with thick, conical style, the valves reticulate-rugose all round, and
marginally toothed. Species verrucarius and molaceus, spreading through
the Old World ; and one of the varieties (C. verrucarius procumbens ;
syn. C. Ruellii All.) reaches America as far as Chili, as an immigrant.
(Probably my citation of it as found in Patagonia was an error: Muschler
observes that though Dusen collected in the same location as Hatcher, he
did not find this species.)

The second of Muschler's sections, Nasturtiolum DC. has the silicic
dehiscing into 2 cocci, its stigma is a third as long as the septum, or none ;
only 4 glands on the receptacle, and these are mere rudiments. This
section Nasturtiohtm has 3 species, of which C. integrifolius is African,
extending to the Orient ; and C. englerianus Muschl. is confined to East
Africa or Mozambique. And the third species C. didymus (L.) Sm., is
unique both in its reduction of parts and in its cosmopolitan distribution.
It is found in North and South America, and in Europe and Africa, and
even in Australia. Muschler regards it as an antique form, which orig-
inated in South America, and has spread thence over all the continents.
On the other hand, he regards integrifolium as having tropical Africa as
its fatherland, whilst he seems to think that C. englerianus was born in
the Lake District of Eastern Africa. C. didymus (L.) Sm., is represented
by him as originating in our Patagonian area, and having migrated thence
to other parts of America, and as now spreading over the world. It may
have no petals, and mostly has only 2 stamens ; and the fewness ot its
seeds is counterbalanced by the abundance of its flowers.

The section Cotyliscus (Desv. pro gen.) DC. has two species, both of
them African, easily recognizable by the convex-concave silicic.

The last section, Delpinoella (Speg.) Muschl. was introduced by Spegaz-

MACLOSKIE: REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 133

Add:
THLASPI ALPESTRE L. var. GRACILE (Phil.) Gilg & Muschler. (Synonym.)

Glabrous, simple; radical leaves rosulate, bright green, oblong, atten-
uate to a petiole, obsoletely toothed ; cauline leaves auricled, semiam-
plexicaul, distant. Raceme lax ; silicic obovate, long-attenuate at base ,
its apex nearly truncate, as long as the pedicel. Style one third as long.

Central Chili, in the Cordillera; eastern slopes of the Cordillera of
Valdivia ; S. Patagonia, in the mountains near Lago Argentine.

Note by Gilg & Muschler (Engler's Bot. Jahrb., Bd. 42, p. 453). — This
variety is much more robust than the type. The specimens of Thlapsi
gracile Phil., collected by Mr. Prichard in the district of Lago Argentino
(see Journal of Botany, Vol. 42, p. 329), are, however, much more slender
than the type.

P. 429 : Thlaspi glaucophyllum Barn. (No. 2) is only a var. of T.
magellanictim. Thus Thlaspi magellaniciim Com. var. glaucophyllum
(Barn.) with synonym. T. glaucophyllum Barn.

P. 429 (No. 3) : The authority of Thlaspi magellanicum is Commerson
(1806). (Persoon gave the same name in 1807.)

Add Macl., p. 429:

T. ANDICOLA Hook. & Arn.

Note. — Reiche in his Flora de Chile, 1. 169, gives T. andicola as an
independent species. Gilg & Muschler are of the same opinion. Skotts-
berg (Engler's Bot. Jahrb., Bd. 42, p. 452) regards T. andicola as iden-
tical with T. magellanicum. (See Skottsberg, zur Flora des Feuerlandes,
p. 18; Wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse der Schwedischen Siidpolarexpedi-
tion 1901-1903, 4 Lief. 4.) Dusen regards this opinion as well-founded,
and consequently accepts Skottsberg's arrangement.

Common in the Fuegian and Patagonian steppes, especially in the
remote southern and western sections ; also in the mountains of Western
Patagonia, as in the upper valley of Rio Aysen, about 1,200 m. at
Arroyo Scheuen.

Sisymbrium sagittatum Hook. & Arn. and Sophia sagittata Hook. &
Arn. infra, p. 449, are identical with each other, and both synonyms of
Thlaspi magellanicum Comm.

134 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY.

SISYMBRIUM Linn.

P. 430 : The type of species Sisymbrium andinum Phil, is not found in
Patagonia. The plant so named in p. 430 is a variety, thus : S. andinum
Phil. var. pubescens Gilg et Muschler (syn. S. andinum Macl. non Phil.).
Description as p. 430, No. 2. Occurs in Patagonia, by Rio St. Cruz, and
Gulf of St. George.

P. 431 : Insert at top. The name Sisymbrium magellanicum (Pers.)
Hook. f. has precedence of S. maclovianum Gaud., and of S. fuegianum
Speg., described on p. 431, No. 4. Other synonyms are Schizopetalum
fuegianum (?) Speg., Brassica magellanica Persoon, Arabis magellanica
Dusen. It occurs in Fuegia, Magellan, S. Patagonia, in upper valley of
Rio Gallegos, in the forest district of Lago Argentine, by Lago Viedma, by
borders of woods at 500-900 m.; and near woods by Rio Fossiles at 950 m.

Add Macl., p. 431 :

S. SAGITTATUM Hook, et Arn. — Macl.. p. 449.
(Sub Sophia sagittata Hook, et Arn.)

The species with its numerous forms, by Macloskie brought to the genus
Sophia, has its natural place amongst the species of the genus Sisymbrium.

S. SIMPSONI Phil.

Perennial, glabrous, leaves oval, serrate, truncate, 2-3 coarse teeth, the
lower petioled, the upper sessile, sepals obtuse, half as long as petals.
Silicles linear, attenuate both ways, hairy, exceeding the peduncle.

In W. Patagon., by Rio Aysen; rather rare.

P. 431 : Delete Sisymbrium tehuelches Speg. It is only a synonym of
Streptanthus tehuelches (Speg.) Gilg & Musch.

Delete Sisymbrium sophia L., as it belongs to genus Descurainea, p. 447.

THELYPODIUM Endl.

Add Macl., p. 432, after line 7 :

Pods teretish, valves i-nerved, seeds in one row, oblong, marginless;
cotyledons obliquely incumbent ; flowers large, purplish to white.

T. FLEXICAULE (Dus.) Desv. Gilg & Musch.

Sepals narrow, equal at base; anthers linear, curved. Petals with
narrow claw, flat, much exceeding the sepals.

stricted between the seeds; beak long and flat. Terminal raceme of
yellow flowers.

Falkland Is.

P. 432 :

BRASSICA L.

B. MAGELLANICA Pers.

Should be deleted, being identical with Sisymbrium magellanicum
Hook. fil.

RORIPA Scop. (Nasturtium R. Br.).

R. PUBESCENS PINNATISECTA (Ok.)

Should be transferred to the genus Lepidium as L. bonariense L., var.
pinnatisectum Ok.

CARDAMINE L.— Macl., p. 435.

The corrections are here so numerous that it seems to me necessary to
give a quite new explanation of the species. Before doing so, I remark
that the following are to be deleted :

The plants referred to : C. amara L., C. antiscorbutica Banks & Sol.,
C. hirsuta L. and its var. magellanica (Phil.), C. strictula Steud., and per-
haps C. ciliata Phil., all belong to Cardamine glacialis (Forst.) Hook. f.

C. corymbosa Hook, f., not in this region.

C. pygmcea Dus. belongs really to genus Nasturtium (Roripa); but spe-
cifically is scarcely determinable.

C. rostrata Gris. var. dichondroides Speg. is identical with C. integri-
folia Phil.

The following species should also probably be deleted :

C. ciliata Phil. — not mentioned in Gilg & Muschler's Synopsis of S.
American Crucifercz; perhaps identical with C. glacialis.

136 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY.

C. ramosissima Steud., identical with C. flaccida Cham. & Schlecht.,
which occurs in Chili, perhaps also in Patagon., according to Spegazzini ;
not mentioned in Schulz's monograph of Cardamine.

P. 435 : C. callitrichoides Speg. is to be transferred to C. valdiviana
Phil, as a variety; and C. nana Barn, to C. chilensis DC. as a variety.
And some new species are to be added. Dr. Dusen has furnished the
following new enumeration of the Patagonian and Fuegian species of
this genus, based on O. E. Schulz, Monographic der Gattung Cardamine,
in Engler's Bot. Jahrb., 32 (1907), and on Gilg & Muschler, Aufzahlung
aller zur Zeit bekannten sudamerikanischen Cruciferen, in Engler's Bot.
Jahrb., 42 (1909), referring chiefly to the former of these papers.

Note. — C. pratensis L. is stated by A. B. Rendle to occur in S. Pata-
gonia, by Lago Argentine (Journal of Botany, Vol. 42, 1901, p. 328).
According to O. E. Schulz it does not occur in S. America. Possibly
Rendle's determination may refer to C. vulgaris Phil., which, according

bearing many very dense heads of leaves, which are grass-like. Flowers
white, in racemes, on a naked, scape-like peduncle ; bracts linear, usually
with the lower flowers. Nectariferous glands form a ring. Fruit ovate
or narrower, attenuate to a style, stigma slightly 2-lobed ; valves convex,
hard, the septum hyaline, mostly entire, or at maturity often vanishing as

varieties of a few species.

The new arrangement is here presented :

1. D. canescens (Nutt.) Prantl. sub Sophia pinnata (Walt.) Brit,

EUDEMA.

Gilg and Muschler hold that the true Braya does not occur in South
America ; but some new Eudemas are there, whose characters tend towards
a new group, Brayopsis, like Braya, yet different.

Eudema is one of the S. American genera. It contains caespitose herbs
with small linear or spathulate leaves, subequal spreading sepals, and ses-
sile ovary, filiform style and capitate stigma. Silicic ovate-oblong, obtuse,
compressed parallel to the fenestrate dissepiment; the valves 5-12 seeded.

Gilg and Muschler refer to it, or to Brayofisis, or Englerocharis, or
Weberhauera, most of the South American species formerly placed in
Braya, Sisymbrium and Draba.

W. Patagonia, near Lago Buenos Aires. (Leg. J. Koslowsky.)
This species resembles as to its vegetative system A. multifida Hook,
fil. and A. pinnatifida Ruiz et Pav., but differs from these in the globose
terminate head of flowers rather distantly separated from the nearest few
flowers in the axil of the uppermost cauline leaflet. From all hitherto
known Accence, this species is separated by the winged seeds. By this
characteristic our species deserves to be ranged as the type of a new section.

152 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS : BOTANY.

The fruits — it may be remarked — were not quite ripe.

During my stay in S. Patagonia, 1905, I found at several localities in
the steppe between Sta. Cruz (Emporium) and Lago Argentine an Accena
with ripe fruits, the plant being unknown to me. The seeds were winged,
as in A. pterocarpa, but the wings were not so pointed, but more trun-
cated than In the above species ; they were armed with small retropacted
spines as in A. pterocarpa.

The seeds brought home were sowed and germinated, but the plants
were, when I started for S. Brazil, far from being in bloom. I may, there-
fore, not be able to state that the family plant found in the steppe of S.
Patagonia is, as I am supposing, identical with the species here described.

LATHYRUS MAGELLANICUS Lam. var. CAMPESTRIS Dus. nov. var.

Plate III.

Humilis, glaucescens, glaberrimus; folia patentia, foliolis breviusculis,
lanceolatis, vel late-lanceolatis, mucronulatis, epetiolatis, membranaceis,
stipulis semi-sagittatis ; pedunculi elongati, 3-4-flori, floribus cyaneis,

Caulis ad 5 cm. usque longus; petiolus c. 5 mm. longus; foliola 15-18
mm. longa et c. 5 mm. lata ; pedunculi 6-7 cm. longi ; flores fere 2 cm. longi.

S. Patagonia, on subhumid meadows near Rio Sta. Cruz, about 40 km.
from its mouth.

This variety differs from the type in low growth, smaller leaves, greater
flowers and comparatively long peduncles. It does not grow blackish in
drying. It stands near to L. magellanicus Lam. var. oxyphyllus Speg., dif-
fering from that variety in much smaller and semisagittal stipules, shorter
and patent leaflets and larger flowers.

WENDTIA Meyen.

This appears to us to be the rightful name of this genus of Geraniacece;
not being invalidated by the very closely similar name (Wendid] of a
section of a genus of a different family, nor by subsequently elevating
that section to be an independent genus. The difference of spelling (as
well as of pronunciation) precludes confusion ; and the generic name is
not preoccupied by serving in a lower capacity, even if the name were
identical.

Erect. Calyx-leaves white-woolly inside ; nearly naked outside. Sepals

O. LAXA Hook. & Arn.

P- 539:

O. GAYI Macl.

Should be deleted.

The plant described in Gay, Flor. Chil., I, p. 452, by Barneoud under
the name of O. articulata — not by Gay, as Macloskie says — is a Chilian
and not a Patagonian one, as Macloskie seems to believe, and no notice
should therefore be taken of that plant.

The plant Macloskie has in view was collected near Rio Negro by
Lorentz and Niederlein, members of the Rio Negro Expedition under
command of General Roca. In the botanical part of the reports of that
expedition, p. 201, it is stated that the plant now in question very well
agrees with the description of O. articidata Sav., or to cite the authors:

synonymous with Trop&olum. I may also refer to E. Autran, les Tropeo-

The plant is rather variable as to its size, but less varying concerning
the pilosity of the leaf margin. In my opinion V. fimbriata Steud. is not
to be specifically separated, even as a variety, from V. microphylla Poir
and should be placed as a synonym of the latter. D.

tation. They emphasize the fact that the plant which they had in view
belongs possibly to the gen. Blumenbachia, showing a certain affinity
to B. multifida Hook, and B. insignis Schrad., and that its true place

Since the description of A. trifoliata Dus. was published, I have had
opportunity to compare the type specimen with specimens of A. ranun-

to be placed as a variety of A. ranunculus than as a distinct species.

The variety is larger and more robust than the type and differs also
from it by having firmer and somewhat fleshy leaves. The incision of
the mid-lobe of the leaves reaches to about a third of its length. The

P. 632, add after line 14, the species:

A. CONCOLOR Rendle.

Small caespitose, glabrous shrub, branches short, with nigrescent per-
sistent leaves; the young leaves bright green, with broad amplexicaul
sheaths, trifurcate lamina, rigid lobes, apex shortly pungent, and sub-
triquetrous. Umbels acrogenous, sometimes in pairs, i-2-flowered ;
peduncle very short, involucre trifid ; lobes linear-triangular, acute ; pedi-
cels a little longer. Flowers not surmounting the highest leaves. Sepals
short, triangular, obtuse. Fruit . . . Has crowded ultimate branches from
a flat, turfy growth.

Mountain tops of Burmeister Peninsula. Near A. lycopodium Gaud.,
but the leaf-segments are not polished, and are blunt and simply mu-
cronate. Leaf-lobes are 2 mm. long (4 mm. in A. nivalis Phil, of Chili).

S. Patagonia, Lago Argentine, in mountains above the forest line ; at
Rio Fosiles, on bare ground about 1000 m. high.

A. FIMBRIATUM Speg. — Speg. Plant. Pat. austr., p. 523.

N. B. Spegazzini in describing the plant, called attention to its systematic
place being uncertain. Since that the question has not yet been cleared up.

MULINUM Pers.

P- 633 :

M. LEONINUM Lor.

Should be deleted, being identical with Mulinum spinosum Pers.

M. LAXUM Phil.

Flexuous, loosely branching, leaves 3-partite, segments linear, sub-
equal ; mouth of sheaths slightly pilose; peduncles long, with about 15
flowers ; pedicels 4 times as long as the ovate capsule.

In S. Chili ; N. W. Patagonia, in the upper valleys of Rio Manso and
Rio Renihue; W.» Patagonia, by Rio Baker.

P. 634:

M. LYCOPODIOPSE Speg.

Spegazzini's description of the plant and especially of the fruit gives
rise to the suspicion that this species belongs to the genus Azorella
rather than to Mulinum.

M. MICROPHYLLUM Pers.

Also in N. W. Patagonia, Rio Renihue; Mid-Patagonia, near Lago
Buenos Aires ; S. Patagonia, common in the steppe, for instance at Golfo
de San Jorge, Puerto San Julian, Sta. Cruz and at Rio Gallegos.

M. MORENONIS (Ok.) Speg.
Also in S. Patagonia, on the east coast, at Golfo de San Jorge.

MULINUM PROLIFERUM (Cav.)

Should be deleted, being identical with Mulimtm spinosum Pers. or,
more properly, with one of its forms or varieties.

P. 635 :

M. SPINOSUM Pers.

Is a very variable species. The variety with trifid leaves and spini-
form, rather long lobes is the commonest one in all Patagonia.

M. ULICINUM Gill, et Hook.

Should be struck out ; Macloskie's statement of this species occurring
in Patagonia is based on an erroneous determination. Dr. K. Domin,
preparing a monograph of the genera Azorella and Mulinum, has kindly
informed me that M. spinosum Pers. is only a variety of M. ulicinum.
This variety is, as far as I am aware, not yet described.

The plant reminds us, as to its aspect, of Mulinum cuneatum Hook, et
Arn. It is, perhaps, not impossible that Spegazzini's statement of M.
ulicinum having been found in S. Patagonia, at Rio Sta. Cruz, concerns
this variety, Mulinum spinosum of Pers. The variety was collected by
Hatcher at Rio Chico, by Dusen at Rio Sta. Cruz. D.

P. 633 :

M. CUNEATUM Hook, et Arn.

According to Spegazzini, Plant. Pat. austr., p. 524, this species occurs
in S. Patagonia, at Rio Sta. Cruz, in my opinion a somewhat doubtful
statement. See under Mulinum ulicinum. D.

SANICULA L.
P. 636:

S. MACRORHIZA Colla.

Syn. S. graveolens DC.

N. B. The name given by Colla is the older one ; Sanicula graveolens
is therefore to be placed as a synonym.

ERYNGIUM L.

E. AGAVIFOLIUM Gris.

Should properly be struck out. In the reports of the Rio Negro Expe-
dition the authors of the botanical parts, Lorentz and Niederlein, mention

MACLOSKIE: REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 193

a tall Eryngium growing in the pampa and take it, with some hesitation,
to be E. agavifolium Gris. They compare the plant also with E. san-
guisorba Cham, et Schlecht. It is very probable that the plant in
question actually belongs to E. agavifolium Gris. Neither Hieronymus
nor Spegazzini mentions this species as occurring in the Rio Negro dis-
trict or in other parts of Patagonia ; but a plant man-high, as it is, can
scarcely be overlooked, and it is therefore very improbable that this species
occurs in Patagonia.

SCHIZEILEMA Domin, n. gen.

(In Hooker's Flor. Ant. a subgenus of Pozoa, chiefly found in New
Zeal., 2 of its species in S. Patagon.)

Umbelliferous, with the habit of Hydrocotyle and Huanaca; but the
densely compressed mericarps resemble Azorella; whilst the leaf-structure,
having no leafsheaths, and the unsegmented pedicel, and large calyx-
teeth are unlike Azorella, and more like Huanaca. The fruit is peculiar,
prismatically quadrangular, with rounded angles, the side-view narrow;
ribs scarcely visible, always 5 (not 3). Exocarp leathery, separable from
endocarp. Umbels simple, pedunculate, and flowers mostly pediceled;
petals straight, and calyx-teeth half as long; mericarps dorsally com-
pressed, and slightly convex. Seed straight, oblong. Plants generally
glabrous with reniform or orbicular, simple or lobed leaves, long, stipu-
late. The Patagonian species have a carpophore.

G. MAGELLANICA Gaud, and G. PATAGONICA Gris.

It may be questioned, I think, whether the latter species is not synony-

gonia I very often met with numerous specimens of a Gentiana, all
referring to G. magellanica Gaud., or in so few cases to a variety of
that species. In my representation of the vegetation of Fuegia and
Magellan — die Gefasspflanzen der Magellanslander, p. 137 — I have
incorrectly stated that G. patagonica Gris., instead of G. magellanica
Gaud., occurs in the peraustral parts of S. America. G. patagonica Gris.
is unknown to me and seems to be a very doubtful species, probably
identical with Gaudichaud's species, this being already accentuated in

Fam. 94. POLEMONIACE^E. — Macl., p. 667.

Our views as to the genera and species of this family have been some-
what revolutionized by the researches of A. Brand, published in Engler's
Pflanzenreich, IV, 250 (1907).

1. He fixes the limits of the genera by help of the fact that Gilia and
Phlox have the mature calyx at length ruptured by the growth of the
fruit, and their leaves may be alternate or opposite; whilst the species
which are not thus ruptured, and whose leaves are always opposite are
made to form the genus Navarretia. Collomia, in distinction from all
these, has folds in the sinuses of the calyx, and no rupturing with the
enlarging of the fruit ; and Gymnosteris is set apart by its leafless stem.
He also cuts up the genus Gilia into subgenera and sections, and estab-
lishes some subspecies as well as varieties under them.

The three genera, Lappula, Eritrichium and Allocarya are thus dis-
tinguished. Allocarya has opposite leaves, Lappula and Eritrichium
have alternate leaves. The ridge of hooked bristles on the nutlets dis-
tinguishes Lappula from the other two. The nutlets of Eritrichium are
attached by their lower half, those of Allocarya by their upper half.

Whether this species actually belongs to the genus Eritrichium, or
rather should be placed in the genus Allocarya, cannot be decided at the
present time, its nucule being unknown. By reason of its lower leaves
being opposite, this species should probably be placed in the latter genus.
(See note above.)

Perhaps Eritrichium diffusum Phil., parvulum Phil., and uliginosum

Though Lagasca's description of V. ligustrina is brief and incomplete,

This species is rather variable as to the form and size of the leaves and

Comparing Lagasca's description with that by Hieronymus an exact

VERBENA TRIDENS Lag.

Syn. Verbena carroo Speg.

This species is one of the commonest characteristic plants of S. Pata-
gonia and of the southern section of Mid-Patagonia. Its range extends
over the table-land, at least from Rio Gallegos to Lago Buenos Aires and
on the east coast to the north of Golfo de San Jorge. It occurs also in
the small transverse valleys between the river valleys, as well as here and
there in the flat bottom of the main valleys, but does not thrive in the
section near the forest district, and is there very rare. The southernmost
locality known to me is situated in the Baguales district.

Philippi has, as far as I am aware, never identified V. tridens Lag. with
V. carroo Speg., but the very brief description of the former given by
Lagasca, as well as the more detailed description given by Philippi -
Anal. Univ. Chil. Tom. xc, p. 612, shows clearly the identity of the species.

The inflorescence is not always so short as in the specimen figured in

of about i dm. or still more.

Description under L. foliolosa. (Macl., p. 691.)

This species is common in Patagonia from Rio Colorado at least to
Rio Sta. Cruz and its range extends probably still further to the south,
perhaps to Rio Gallegos. It occurs most frequently in the coast district
and in the river valleys, but is rare or lacking in the western district
near the forest. I have seen or collected the species at the following
localities : East coast, at Puerto San Jose, Puerto Madryn, Puerto Cama-
rones, Puerto Mazaredo, Puerto San Julian and Puerto Sta. Cruz ; in the
interior, at several places in the lower and middle valley of Rio Sta.
Cruz, at Lago Argentine [Casa Ortiz, Karr-aike], in the valley of Rio
Leona, at Lago Viedma, at several places in the valley of Arroyo
Scheuen, between Rio Sta. Cruz and Arroyo Scheuen, at Manantial de la
Trompa.

An undershrub 1-2 dm. high, sometimes subdecumbent, often occurring
abundantly, and covered by an extraordinarily great quantity of. white,
fragrant flowers, which completely hide the leaves and branches. D.

MONOPYRENA Speg.

According to Spegazzini, Nov. Add. Flor. Patag., II, p. 66, this genus
should be merged in Verbena. Briquet, however, gives it in Engler and
Prantl, die nat. Pflanzenfam., Nachtrach., II, p. 66, on account of its
pyrenes not separating, a place as an independent genus and it may also
here be so noted. To this genus belongs but a single species, viz.,
Monopyrena serpyllifolia Speg. — Macl., p. 693.

The plant has a very peculiar appearance and reminds us of a Viola of
the well-known Andine type ; it is, however, a true Valeriana. Having
collected, some years ago, V. fonkii Phil., on the mountains of the upper
Rio Aysen, I found it a very easy task to point out its correspondence,
in most respects, with the present plant. The variety has just the same
flowers, bracts, leaves and fruits as the type, but differs in having more
numerous and crowded flowers, more numerous leaves and very short
scape or none at all. The plant was collected by J. Koslowsky in Mid-
Patagonia in the district of Lago Buenos Aires. D.

Mildbraed on the Stylidiacece shows that we must amend our descrip-
tion of this family, so as to admit the genus Donatia, hitherto referred to
the Saxifragacece (Macl., p. 460). Though Donatia is choripetalous, and
its stamens are free from the style, and the Patagonian plant has trimerous
androecium, and tricarpellary ovary, it appears to belong to the family of
the Stylidiacece; so that the characters of the family must be:

Calyx adnate to the ovary; corolla rarely choripetalous, generally
sympetalous and more or less zygomorphous ; stamens rarely 3-2, and
free ; mostly 2 and coalescing with the style into a stylidium ; anthers
always extrorse ; ovary rarely 3-merous, generally 2-merous.

STYLIDIACE.E.

Are allied to Campanulaceae, differing by having irregular flowers, with
3-2 stamens connate with the style into a column ; leaves often spuriously
whorled. (Chiefly in Australia, and the Pacific Isles.)

Suggestive gradations are observable, as epigynous glands represent-
ing absent parts, and the approximation of stamens to the style in the
New Zealand genus Donatia, being a step towards their coalescence as
in the other genera. The Patagonian, and the New Zealand-Tasrnanian
forms of Donatia, exhibit the parallelism, and at the same time the varia-
tion of numbers of parts ; thus

Stamens 3, ovary 3-celled. Antarctic American. Donatia fascicularis.

Stamens 2, ovary 2-celled. New Zealand, Tasmania. D. nova zealandice.

MACLOSKIE: REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 253

As to its habit, this species reminds us of Acicarpha rosulata N. E.
Brown. It is, however, less robust, having more rounded leaves, being
entire or only laterally, never terminally, serrated. Whether Acicarpha
rosulata, by reason of the absence of one involucre, ought rather to be
placed in the genus Moschopsis may at present be left undecided.

South Chili, in the Cordilleras ; W. Patagonia in the steppe, especially

Senecio miser Hook, fil., var. tehuelches Speg.

In South Fuegia ; Fuegian steppe, especially in the east coast ; Magel-
lan ; South Patagonia in the steppe as well as in the deciduous beech
forests.

A very variable plant as to its habit, size and denseness of the leaves,
and degrees of its viscosity; the peduncles are always comparatively
long (3-6 cm.) and I -headed, with rather large heads. The typical plant
is a rather common steppe plant, about 2 dm. high, growing principally
on or near the coasts. The leaves are entire or few-toothed, and a few mil-
limeters broad ; the same specimen sometimes having entire as well as
toothed leaves. The whole plant very viscous.

Dusen writes: "Senecio mscoides Reiche from Magellan forms, in my
opinion, only a variety of 5. longipes. The same form was collected by
myself at Sta. Cruz; it is much smaller in habit than the type, has
decumbent branches, ascending at the extremities; the leaves were
toothed in the specimens collected by Reiche, and also in my specimens.
The plant is resiniferous, much as the type. Another form which is taller,
and more robust than the type, was collected by me in the interior of the
territory of Sta. Cruz, as well as near the forest line not far from Lake
Viedma. Its leaves were toothed, but narrower, and the heads somewhat
greater than in the type. This form is no less viscous than the typical
plant, and shows, in some respects, an intermediate position between the
type and the following form.

" The fourth form belongs to the deciduous beech forests, and is as
common in their lower parts as in their heights ; it was found by me at
least up to 950 m.

" The height of this robust form varies from about 4 to 7 dm. Its leaves
are somewhat broader and weaker than in the type, and entire or few-
toothed even in the same specimen. The heads are somewhat larger than
those of the type. At first sight it seems specifically distinct from S.
longipes, through its obtuse habit and the apparent absence of resiniferous
glands. A careful examination, however, shows that the glands are not
lacking, but they are comparatively few. No other specific difference of
character from S. longipes is visible. I therefore endorse Skottsberg's
doctrine that they are not specifically distinct." S. crithtnoides H. & A.
is another synonym.

Taf. 3, fig. 5 ; Taf. 6, fig. 3 ; Taf. 8, fig. 20.

From Professor Macloskie I received a specimen of a Senecio collected
by Hatcher in the Cordilleras of South Patagonia and determined by
Prof. Dr. O. Hoffmann as S. pachyphyllus Remy. Dr. Hoffmann had
an opportunity to compare Hatcher's specimens with a specimen collected
by Dr. R. A. Philippi and by him referred to S. pachyphylfas. My own
specimens exactly agree with the specimen sent me by Prof. Macloskie.

In order to determine my specimen I had at my disposal no authentic
specimen of S. pachyphyllus, but only the diagnosis given by Remy in
Gay, Flora Chil., vol. iv., p. 147. The leaves of S. pachyphyllus are there
described as follows: "foliis crassissimo-cylindraceis . . . acutis," which
does not agree with my plant, its leaves being quite plane, but somewhat
fleshy, and hardly acute. And further, S. pachyphyllus is described as
quite glabrous, while my plant (being for the most part glabrous) is pilose
on the margins of the leaf-sheaths, and of the basal parts of the scape-
leaves, as well as on the margins of the outer scales.

I have therefore separated my plant from S. pachyphyllus. The two
species, however, are near to each other.

Is known from the eastern slopes of the cordilleras, and grows in open
humid places, in South Patagonia, near Lago San Martin (250-500 m.),

According to F. Kurtz this species may be regarded as a variety of C.

280 PATAGONIAN EXPEDITIONS I BOTANY.

independent species is preferable to the view of M. Kurtz I am not able
to decide. On this question I offer no opinion. D.

P. 864:

CHUQUIRAGA DUSENII O. Hoffm.

Should be deleted, being identical with C. kingii. Spegazzini has
erroneously united C. dusenii with C. argentea Speg., thinking that the
former is only a variety of the latter. In Nov. Add. Flor. Patag., ii, p.
17, he writes "est forma robusta . . ., sed nullo modo a typo recedens;
saepe in eodem caespite forma typica et forma dusenii simul inveniuntur."
I presume that he does not know, or at least does not well know C.
kingii. Writing this in an exploring excursion in South Brazil and not
having any specimens at hand of the two species, I am, unfortunately,
unable to note the strikingly different characteristics of the two species.
I may say, however, that C. kingii is a robust, stiff shrub, about 8-10
dm. high ; and C. argentea, on the other hand, is a much weaker shrub,
generally about 2 dm. high. They occur also in different localities;
kingii is limited to North and East Patagonia, having its southern limits
about S. lat. 44° ; argentea is, as already stated, limited to South Pata-
gonia. D.

P. 864:

C. ERINACEA Don.

Macloskie states that this species occurs on the east coast of South
Patagonia. This statement is undoubtedly incorrect, and is based on a
mistake made by Spegazzini in Nov. Add. Flor. Patag., ii, p. 18, line 10,
where C. erinacea Speg. (non Don) should be replaced by C. acictilaris
Don. (Plant. Patag. austr., no. 221, cited by Spegazzini refers by name to
the last-mentioned species). Spegazzini makes another mistake in unit-
ing C. hystrix Don with C. acicularis Don, two species which are well
distinguished from each other. D.

Skottsberg writes regarding this specimen: "I cannot get a better
name for the species; but the specimen does not correspond with C.
erinacea in all respects. The flowers are more numerous than in

erinacea."

P. 865 :

C. HYSTRIX Don.

Spegazzini's statement of the area of this species is naturally too wide
because of his opinion that it is identical with C. acicularis. The present

plant extends chiefly over northern and eastern Patagonia, being limited
on the south by the 44th parallel. D.

C. PATAGONICA Phil.

Should be deleted, as it belongs to the genus Doniophyton. D.

C. SPINOSA Don.

This species scarcely belongs to the Patagonian flora. Macloskie
states that it is found in North Patagonia ; but I do not know of its hav-
ing been found even in the most northern part of the district. D.

This species is known to me only from subandine districts ; its southern-
most locality is in the southern part of Chubut Territory. According to
Spegazzini, Nov. Add. Flor. Patag., ii, p. 18, it is not rare in the valley
of Rio Chico (Territory of Sta. Cruz), and in the valley of Rio Mayo
(Territory of Chubut). I am, however, inclined to regard these state-

LEUCERIA, LASIORRHIZA.

Where this group is treated as a single genus, the form Leuceria is
often preferred. Bentham & Hooker distinguish Lasiorrhiza as a sub-
genus, by the fact that its involucre is 2-3-seriate, as against 3~4-seriate ;
and the receptacle has few pales in Leuceria. But these are not constant
characters. Engler & Prantl regard Lasiorrhiza Lag. (Chabrea DC.) as
a section under Leuceria, having a i-2-seriate involucre, and no chaff
between the outer flowers on the receptacle. All the forms of both sec-
tions have a plumose pappus, more or less long, and flowers never white.

The specimens collected by Hatcher and labeled "head of Rio Chico " (p.

I am inclined to suppose that some confusion has occurred concerning the
locality, and that these specimens were actually got in the Cordilleras.
So far as I know, this species has never been found in the tableland ; but
on the other hand, it is not rare in West Patagonia, viz., in the pre-Andine

The description published in Anal. Univ. Chil., Tom. LXXXVII, p.

atic rank of this species. There is, however, in the diagnosis nothing
inconsistent with the presumption of the identity of T. ibari with T.
magellanicum Comm. ; Sch. Bip. Philippi, actually, has expressed the
supposition of these two species being identical. The question cannot
be decided without examination of type-specimens.

This species is dubious.

The present genus has in the last years, as well known, been matter
of careful studies, and from these it was clear that the species established
long ago — and thus also the old species now in view — were to be
divided into a rather great number of new ones. Knowing specimens
only from one of the districts mentioned by Macloskie it is impossible for
me to state whether Macloskie' s statement refers to a single or to several
species. I am even not able to urge the species represented by the
specimens collected by myself in Magellan. They belong very probably
to a S. European species, as the eminent specialist of N. European,
Arctic and S. American subantarctic species, Dr. H. Dahlstedt, has
verbally informed me.

This being the case, Taraxacum taraxacum should be struck out.
Macloskie's statement is quite indefinite. D.

that this N. American form does not occur in the peraustral part of S.

should in my opinion be struck out. D.

NOTE ON THE NEANTARCTIC ISLAND FLORA.

Wildeman concludes his Report of the Results of the S. Y. Belgica
Expedition (1897-1899) by giving an interesting summary of the number
of species of the different families of Phanerogams occurring in the several
islands and coasts, excluding the inner mainland of Patagonia. We copy
this, adding the number included in the Falkland Is., which are not given
in his lists ; nor are all the islands on the West Patagonian coast repre-
sented in his Report.

Total, 1357 species.

Wildeman observes that no species is spread over the whole field and
some of the islands contain endemic forms ; but some which are now
apparently localized will probably prove to be of more extensive
distribution.

The following are the most widespread of these species :

Drymus winteri Forst, found in 14 of the 26 regions explored.

Cardamine antiscorbutica Banks & Sol., found in 1 3 of the 26 regions explored.

Nothofagus betuloides (Mirb.) Bl., found in 13 of the 26 regions explored.

Perezia magellanica, found in 1 3 of the 26 regions explored.

Chiliotrichum diffusum (Furst.) Dus., found in 12 of the 26 regions explored and in Falklands.

Poa flabtllata (Lam.) Hook., found in 12 of the 26 regions explored.

Senecio acanthifolius Homb. & Jacq., found in 12 of the 26 regions explored.

Ac&na pumila Vahl., found in n of the 26 regions explored.

Apium graveolens L., found in n of the 26 regions explored.

Crassula moschata Forst., found in 1 1 of the 26 regions explored.

Gunnera magellanica Lam., found in 1 1 of the 26 regions explored and in Falklands.

Oreobolus obtusangulus Gaud., found in II of the 26 regions explored and in Falklands.

Senecio smithii DC., found in 1 1 of the 26 regions explored.

Astelia pumila R. Br.; Callixene marginata ; Colobantus subulatus ; Empetrum rubrum ; Myrteola
nummularia found in 10 of the 26 regions explored and in Falklands.

Berberis ilicifolia ; Cotula scariosa, found in 10 of the 26 regions explored (not in Falklands).

Escattonia serrata ; Lebetanthus americanus, found in 10 of the 26 regions explored (not in
Falklands).

Nanodea muscosa, Rostkovia grandiflora, found in 10 of the 26 regions explored (not in Falk-
lands).

He also remarks that all these species occur in the American continent,
mostly with extensive range. One, Apium graveolens L., is also found
in other continents. Some other species are European, but of restricted
American distribution. Most of the Fuegian forms occur on the main-
land ; and the islands doubtless contain many other continental forms,
not yet reported from them. Thus probably the flora which now covers
what are the vestiges of an ancient continent are the descendants of a
vegetation of unique origin. (It is a question worthy of attention whether
the similarity of the Falkland Is. vegetation with that of the continent is
sufficient to justify the theory of an ancient land-connection. — G. M.)

MACLOSKIE: REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 299

ANTIQUITY OF THE ANTARCTIC FLORA.

A notice by E. Hackel about the Magellan Flora as related to that of
Europe and North America, appears in Engler's Botan. Jahrbuch., 1907,
xl (2) ; Hackel takes 83 species indigenous in Magellans-land, and iden-
tically, or vicariously represented in N. America and Europe ; but wanting
or extremely rare in the tropical Andes. These include 20 species of
Gramineae, 12 of Cyperaceae, 36 other Monocotyledons and only 15 Di-
cotyledons. Hence he concludes that Gramineae and Cyperaceae are the
most ancient of the flowering plants, being probably remains of an old
flora, which included such Dicots as Fagus, Veronica, Euphrasia, and
which is supposed to have migrated by peculiar routes from the North
Temperate to the South Temperate zone. Their absence from the trop-
ical Andes centra-indicates the assumption of their overland journey by
the American Cordillera. More probably there was an ancient land-
connection between Magellans-land and Australia, and New Zealand, as
evidenced by numerous plant species common to these lands, and also
struthious birds. The supposition of their having originated in the south
and thence migrating northwards is refuted by the fact that such plants
as Primula farinosa L. and Gentiana pro strata Haenk., have their nearest
related forms not in the far south, but in Europe and Asia.
