Falklands, etc.] Omnia E. uniflori, sed foliis latioribus, petiolo distincto, laminaque elliptico-ovata non spathulata.

I have ventured to separate this from the former because of its broad leaves and evident petioles, though I must confess to having seen specimens from Switzerland of E. grandiflorus, Hoppe, a variety of E. alpinus, in which the shape of the foliage very closely approaches this. It bears the name of Capt. Sidivan, E.N., who during his several visits to and survey of the coasts of the Falkland Islands, formed a very interesting botanical collection which he has liberally placed in my hands for examination.

Hab. Strait of Magalliaens, Port Famine, Capt. King. Var. minor, Cape Negro, C. Darivin, Esq.

An exceedingly variable species, allied to E. Canadensis, though with much larger capitula. The var. minor was referred in the work quoted (under that variety) to E. Canadensis, but I find no specimens of that species, either European or North or South American, to vary much in the size of the capitula. The variety glabellus, of Hooker and Arnott, is, I think, certainly referable to E. alpinus.

This little species varies a good deal in size, from one half to three inches long ; the leaves are nearly entire or sinuated, smooth or more or less hairy, sometimes almost hirsute. Mr. Darwin's specimens, from Wollaston Island near Cape Horn, have hairy scapes.
