This handsome plant resembles the C. Endliclierianus, Nees, of Norfolk Island, more than any other species; differing, however, materially in its great size, the less rounded tops of the leaves, their more convex figure, their perfectly entire margins, and by the less lacmiated stipules.

The largest and handsomest species of Chiloscyphus, in which the disproportion between the leaves and stipules is very remarkable. The broader and shorter leaves, their larger areolae and more lacmiated stipules, are alone sufficient to distinguish it from the former.

Hab. Herrnite Island, Cape Horn ; forming dense tufts on the tops of the mountains, alt. 1,700 feet.

Calyces bini v. plures, foliis pallidiores. Seta fere uncialis. Capstda oblongo-rotundata.
The narrow segments of the differently shaped stipules and calyx afford the best means of distinguishing between this, and /. australis, nob., of Campbell's Island. The latter is also a smaller plant, of a darker colour. The size, large areolae of the leaves, and their not being connate at the base with the stipules, at once remove the present from the following species.

Near the last, but a very different plant in size, and in tke disposition of its leaves.
