550 2. Luzula Antarctica, Hook, fil.; pusilla, esespitosa, foliis late lineari-subulatis concavis basin versus ciliatis, culmo gracili filiformi arcuato v. erecto, panieula ovata densissiuie lanata, braeteolis foliolisque perianthii subrequabbus superne scarioso-membrauaceis inferne medioque coloratis marginibus in laciriias piliform.es firnbriato-laceras apicibus hyabnis, capsula elliptico-subrotundata perianthio diraidio breviore, stigrnatibus 3 sessilibus fibforinibus.

Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; alpine rocks.

Habitus L. sjricata, statura L. arcuatee lninrilior. Folia uncialia, basi fere unc. lata, pleraque exem- plaribus meis mancis superne glabrata v. glaberrima, basin versus ciliata. Cuhnus filiformis, 2-uncialis. Panicida uuc. longa, late ovata. Perianthii foliola per totam longitudineni in lacinias foliolum longe superantes fissa ; parte inferiore mediaque brunnea, coriacea, superiore hyalina.

Allied to L. Peruviana (of the Andes) in habit; but the leaves (in my specimens) are not ciliated and the perianth is of a different form, its leaflets being shorter, broader, not coriaceous, and subulate at the apices, and with very much more copious and longer cilia?.

p. 371. Muhlenbergia rariflora, Hook. fil. : — Nees (in Herb. Arnott) regards this as a species of Streptachne, H.B.K.

p. 375. Arvxvo pilosa ; add to Habitats: — Fuegia, Uood Success Bay; Banks and Solander.

p. 3S1. Festuca Fuegiana, a., is considered by Nees (fid. Herb. Arnott) a variety of Poa lanigera, Nees, in Martins Ft. Bras. p. 490.

p. 392. Lomaria alpiiiH, Br.; add to synonyms: — L. pumila, Raoul, Choix de Planles de la Nouvelle Zelande, t. 10. t. 2. f. A.

p. 393. Gleichenia acutifolia; add to the Habitats : — Staten Land ; Mr. Webster.

Hab. Fuegia, Good Success Bay ; in sandy places : Banks and Solander (in Herb. Mas. Brit.).

Identical with the European plant, which ranges in Europe from Iceland and Lapland to the Asturias. In North America it is ouly found in Hudson's Bay, Newfoundland, Canada, and the Rock}' Mountains. I know of no habitat except this of Fuegia and Tasmania anywhere south of the north of Spain. It is apparently a very rare Fuegian plant.

p. 403. luteotum, Hook. fil. et W'ils. — This approaches very closely the description of O. germanum, Mont, (in Aim. Sc. Nat., 3rd Ser. vol. iv. p. 121), a Chilian plant, but the leaves of which are said to be lather obtuse and reflexed at their margins.

Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on the summits of the bills.
