A handsome species, very uncertain in tbe length and form of its bgulæ, which ai-e in Capt. King’s specimens
an inch long, in J lr. Darwin’s not half so much aud according to the figure iu the ‘Voyage au Pole
Sud’ of a few-flowered specimen, sometimes shorter stiU. The caubue leaves also are variable in shape aud
iu their woobiuess. Capt. King gathered the same species (ivith several allied ones) in Chiloe, in fruit, the
achænia are ftilly formed, but perhaps abortive, being slender, striated and longer than the pappus. The colour of
the ray is remarkably pale for the genus, bke that of S. trifurcatus, DC. MM. Hombron and Jacquinot assert that
it is also a Cape of Good Hope species, which is exceedingly unbkely to be the case.

The present plant was supposed by both Gaudichaud and D ’Urvibe to be a state of S, littoralis, from which
it is however abundantly distmct, especially in its frutescent habit, and the broader, lanate and blunter leaves. ‘Whether
it be reaby different from the three fobowing species is much more questionable ; I am incbned to think it is not,
however great their dissimbarity in habit. I t differs again from the discoid S. Patagonicus, only in the presence
of a ray and the peduncles being sobtary. I am doubtful whether the figure of MM. Hombron and Jacquinot
refers to this plant, their specimens are from the Strait of Magalhaens.

Owing probably to the exposed situations tbis plant inhabits, it is of low stature and much branched
from tbe base; except in tbese respects and the generally, but not continually more divided leaves, I cannot see
how it is distinguishable from S. Ealklandicm. The ray values much in size,

A priore cui proximus differt, fohis minoribus angustioribus profunde trifidis, capituhsque pai-vis. Laciniæ

The variety ß seems in some measure intermediate between this species and the former. I have gathered, on
the ban-en monntain-sides of Cape Horn, a state of S. Darwinii very closely approaching the present, but with Sowers
considerably lai'ger than those of S. Eightsii.

The most distmct species of the genus, if, as I suppose it to be, a Senecio, but Mr. Webster’s specimens are
very insiiffieieiit. The long petioles, smgiilaiiy formed fleshy leaves aud then revolute margins are decisive characters.
