Esther a variable plant in size, in the glandular pubescence, in the number and size of the spinulm on tlie
leaves, which are in a single or double row, iu the sharpness or bluntness of the leaves, and somewhat also in the form
of the involucral scales. I t is one of the most interesting plants of the Falkland Islands from the very sweet scent
of its large pale-blue flowers, which has been compared to Jessamine and to Yholets ; it generally grows near the
sea in rocky places, and has also been found on the S.E. coast of Patagoma. The H. Beckli {Fo'ezia, Hook,
et Am.) of Patagoma is very nearly allied to this, but readily distinguished by the longer spinulose apex of the
narrower leaves, and the recurved lower scales of the involucre. The leaves of the latter ai-e exceedingly variable,
sometimes wholly without marginal spinul«, at others crested with white equidistant spinules much longer than those
of H. echinulatu.,.

Two plants of very different stature have been brought together by De Candolle under the name of H. Magel-
lanicm ; except however in size, I am unable to distinguish them. Lamarck’s figure is highly characteristic of the
smaller variety, and Cassini’s and Lessing’s descriptions of the lai-ger. The variety /3 alone is in Mi-. Danvin’s Herbarium,
the other collections contain both. Sir J. Banks’ specimen of the largest state is upwards of two feet high.

This again is a highly variable plant, the majority of the Falkland Island specimens scarcely agreeing with
Gaudiehaud’s description (as given in Freycinet’s Voyage), in which the peduncles are said to he elongated and
branched though in the notes on the species, M. GaucUchaud states that they are either branched or simple.
Small splcimeirs entirely coincide ivith D’Urvffle’s character of J7. » « « ? Willd. The other species of this genus,
as H. apargioides, and H. twraxacoAes, are. however, so vai-iable that the chai-acter of the single or many-flowered
peduncle loses its value as a mark whereby to distinguish them.
