In Stud. 18 I restored Gay's species, saying that it differs quite as much from serrata as this from lanceolata. This statement is not correct, for the island species is very near ser- rata. Of the latter I have seen ample material in Santiago and Kew. We learn from the original description (Bot. I. 196), that A. fernandeziana has membranous leaves and a fruit twice as long as the calyx, while A. serrata has coriaceous leaves and the fruit three to four times as long as the calyx. The only notable difference in Steudel's descrip- tion (Flora 1856, 421) is the glabrous calyx in the former, but the calyx is hairy in both. REICHE tried to distinguish the island form by the broad, thin leaves; Johow adds that the berries are pure white, while, in A. serrata, they are blue and glaucous. I have not seen any quite ripe fruits of A, fernandeziana, but all I have are very dark, and I doubt they would have turned white, had they been left to ripen. The species is upheld with hesitation. Certainly there are differences (see fig. 15); the leaves are thinner (but not broader, nor are the stipules larger), the pubescence of the stem and peduncles is denser, the sepals 2,5—3 mm long against 1,5—2 in serrata, the anthers a trifle larger, the style shorter, 3,5 mm against 4—5 in the other.
