Tbis species is most alUed to one of tbe radiate group, tbe S. Smithii, DC. It abounds wherever sandy beaches
occur, from Cape Fairweather on the Patagonian coast, to tbe soutb part of Tierra del Fuego. In tbe Falkland
Islands it forms a rank herbage about a yard high in such situations.

Tbis species may be recognized by tbe quite entire somewhat rigid and suberect leaves, by tbe elongated
pedicels of tbe capitula, wbicb are rather rounded at the base, half an inch long and equally broad. Tbe leaves
in JIM. Hombron and Jacquinot’s figure of S. Hookeri are somewhat fasciculate ; tbe same state was gathered at
Cape Fairweather both by Capt. King and Mr. Darwin.

Distinguished from the foregoing, of which it may eventuaUy prove a variety, by the larger and more Saccid
foliage, by the very long and slender pedicels, the somewhat larger capitula, and nan-ower involucral scales.

The figure of the var. ft given in the work quoted above, is very characteristic of Capt. King’s specimens, but
it may belong to a different species from the S. Danyamii, in which the capitida are represented larger and not
constricted at the mouth ot the involucre. A veiy extensive suite of the MageUanic Senecwnes is reqim'ed to settle
the limits of the species, if they reaUy are limited, for every different locality seems to furnish a form not found
in another.
