58 CHILI.
Page 4L—Sphacele campanulata.—We have already, under this plant, referred, as a synonym, to the
Algue Laguen of Feuill. Chil. v. 3. t. 1, which is also the authority for the Phytoxys acidissima of Molina and
Sprengel, a n<une which has the right of priority.

V. 6. t . 577, not of Lam., and the T . bicolor of Smith in llees’ Cycl, wMch latter name ought to be
retained.

H a b . Valparaiso.—This plant we long ago received fi-om Mr. Cruckshanks, and since fi-om Mr. Mathews
and Mr. Bridges; as well as from Mrs. Graham and Dr. Bertero, who find it at Juan Fernandez; fi-om the
latter gentleman, under the appellation of Poppigia cyanocarpa, M S S ., a name we should gladly have
adopted, but that the genus seems scarcely to differ from Citharexylon. The corolla and fi-uit are the same
in both genera : the anthers are ovate, as figured in Rauwolfta flexuosa, (Ruiz and Pav. Fl. Per. t. 152, which
Mr. Don considers a true Citharexylon,) not linear, as described in Citharexylon of Mr. Don : the stigma
is 2-lobed, and the inflorescence can scarcely be called racemed. We do not indeed find the petioles to be
“ callous at the base, and evidently jointed.” The leaves are dotted on the underside, as in the Myrtaceoe.
It is named in the coimtry Arayan de Espino, and Arayanmacho.—T ab . XI. Fig. 1, Flower; fig . 2, Stamens
