Falklands, etc.] natural, the styles and foliation forming very evident and nearly constant characters j though D. cryptantlta, in having the flowers entirely sessile amongst the leaves, stands alone in the genus : unfortunately the specimens of this are not 5. D. siliquosa, n. sp. ; caule brevissimo basi ramoso, foliis versus apices ramorum rosulatis lineari-obovatis villoso-sericeis, pedunculo incano sursum pedicellis sepalisque dorso hirsutis, floribus in corymbum subcapitatuni nudum dispositis parvis albidis, petalis elongato-spathulatis unguiculatis retusis, siliquis linearibus obtusis glaberrimis, stylo nullo.

Var. /3, Antisana; foliis majoribus laxius confertis obtusis. Hab. Colombia; Cotopaxi, 13,000 feet ; Professor Jameson. Var. jS, on walls at the Hacienda of Antisana, Professor Jameson (n. 28.). Radix descendens, multiceps. Folia (in var. /3 f ) una longa. Pedunculi 1| unciales, simplices, nudi. Siliquee i lin. longs, lineares ; valvis planis, saspe purpureis ; seminibus oblongis, rufo-fuscis.

6. D. Macleani, n. sp. ; incano-tomentosa, caule brevissimo diviso, foliis confertis obovato-oblongis obtusis, corynibo subcapitato nudo, floribus parvis breviter pedicellatis albidis, siliculis glaberrhnis ovatis in stylum brevissimum attenuatis, valvis planis. Hab. Andes of Peru ; /. Maclean, Esq.

A priori differt foliis incano-tomentosis, fonnaque valde diversa siliculamm attenuatarum.

7. D. ajjinis. n. sp. ; caule brevissimo diviso, foliis confertis patentibus obovato-lanceolatis subacutis sericeo- hirsutis, pedunculo puberulo, floribus corymbosis subcapitatis parvis, siliculis pubescentibus pedicellatis elliptico-ob- longis stylo brevissimo terminatis, valvis subconvexis. Hab. Colombia; Hacienda de Antisana, on old walls, at an elevation of 13,400 feet; Professor Jameson.

D. siliquosa proxima siliculis latioribus brevioribus pubescentibusque prsecipue difl'ert. Ha?c cum tribus praa-cedentibus habitu et statura omnino convenit.
