In the flrst part of this work (p. 37 in obs.) I have mentioned how closely this genus is allied to Eurylia aud
to Olearia, agreeing ivith the former in the oblong involucre and uniseriate pappus, and ivith the latter in habit
tlnougb Olearia oporina (0 . sraíiífeníate. Decaisne in Toy. Tenus ; Arnica oporina, Forst.). It differs from both
in the presence of linear scales occasionally mixed with the flowers of the disc.
The present is the tallest dicotyledonous plant in the Falkland Islands, except Veronica eUiptica, wliich ié
exceedingly rm-o. It attains a height of about 4-5 feet, and forms a brushwood along the banks of streams

Though differing from the 0. amelloides in habit, and especially in tbe absence ot hgiilate florets, I am unable
to point out any cbaracters that wül separate these two plants genericahy; for the structm-e of the involucre, the
occasional linear paleæ on the receptacle, the achænium, the pappus, stamina and styles, are essentially the same.
m e n describing the Antarctic species of Senedo I shah aUude more pai-ticularly to the radiate plants of that
grains being natives of a damp, and the discoid of a di-ier, chmate. The same remai-k seems to hold good with
CkiUotric&um, the 0. amelloides being confined to the humid atmosphere and soil of the Falkland Islands and
Fuegia ; whilst the present, and two alhed discoid species, (both, however, too nearly related to C. limnile), of which
I subjoin descriptions*, affect the arid plains of Patagonia.
C. humile is also a native of Cape Fairw'eather on the east coast of Patagonia.
