INTRODUCTION Throughout the voyage of HMS Beagle (December 1831 through October 1836), when Charles Darwin was in close proximity to the ship, and specimens could be conveniently dried, he seems to have collected plants. Chile was no exception. From the time that he first set foot on what is now Chilean territory on Isla Hermite on Christmas Day 1832 until he left

All collections made after this had to be stored on the Beagle until its return to Greenwich, England in October 1836. This is probably the reason that Darwin collected plants in only a few localities after the Beagle left Chile. He had very little room in which to store his geological, zoological, and botanical collections. Incidentally, the geological and zoological
