Ten years have elapsed since, embarking from Belem at the mouth of the Tagus for the island of Madeira, I took leave of the Spanish peninsula. During two years, from the spring of 1826 to the 6th of may 1828, 1 had examined more or less the whole of that fertile region , which extends along the shores of the Mediterranean from the foot of the Pyrenees to the mouth of the Gua- dalquivir; the neighbouring coast of Africa from the mountains around Tetuan to the south of Cape Spartel ; and the greater part of Portugal, from Braga in the north to the chains of Cintra and Arrabida in the south. Two years afterwards on my return from the Canaries, in company with M. Berthelot, I again saw Gibraltar and its environs, whence we sailed to the low islot of Alboran, beyond the mid channel of the Mediterra- nean betwixt Spain and Barbary. From thence, the wind not permitting us to make Melilla, we left behind us, not without regret , the lofty mountains of the pro- vince of El Rif in Morocco, and cast anchor amongst the three islands now called the Zapharines.. From these we finally touched at Oran and Algiers, distur- bed at that time both by their recent conquest, and the political dissensions of the conquerors, and alto- gether unfitted for our peaceful pursuits. Such was the course of a journey too short if mea- if sured by the space explored, and too quickly accom- plished, if regard be-had to the interest attached to the localities. Turned always towards the south, I did not stop till I reached Madeira and the Canaries, has- tily collecting on the way such objects as the season . offered. Much therefore is left undone in these rich fields of Flora, in which, notwithstanding the gleanings of learned men from Clusius to Bory de Saint-Vincent, the labourers have been too few for the abundance of the harvest. Since then M. Rambur a zealous zoolo- gist and author of a Fauna of Andalusia has brought with him from the same country a valuable collection of plants a part of which owing to his kindness, and that of M, Decaisne, I have been enabled to examine. M. Edmond Boissier of Geneva last of all in 1837 has carefully explored the whole kingdom of Grenada, and the botanical world will im a short time profit by the results of his interesting investigations, concerning which a short notice has already appeared in the Bi- . bliothéque universelle of Geneva, and the composite in the Prodromus of Professor de Candolle. As soon as I received these works I changed the names which I had previously given to many of the species therein described. Other pursuits and various accessory causes have retarded the study of my Spanish herbarium , and it was only towards the end of 1837 that I began to select from it the species which appeared altogether undescri- bed, and such as seemed to need further illustration. The drawings and plates of many of these are already finished , but as this is a work of much outlay both of money and time, I have followed the example of many it esteemed authors and anticipated its publication by a prodromus or synopsis of its contents. This has been the origin, and intention of this little tract ; in execu- ting it, I have added thereto a list of such species as though long known in other regions were unlooked for denizens of the Spanish soil, and others concerning which it seemed desireable to have confirmed ac- counts , or precise localities. Ihave passed over most of those species which are common every won the bor- ders of the Mediterranean, and many more which the imperfect nature of the specimens rendered it difficult to decide upon , nor have I named Portuguese plants, when already cited by Brotero, exept for some special purpose either of elucidating rarer species , or of re- cording new stations. This little catalogue thus composed will perhaps be not altogether unuseful as tending to illustrate the vegetable geography of the northern hemisphere. On this account I have fre- quently insisted m the notes on the affinities, which have been rarely attended to, of the distribution of species at the two extremities of the Mediterranean under the same latitude, and this not in herbs and annuals which travel easily, but in permanent or arbo- rescent species, and in mountain vegetation. The Canarian Flora first drew my attention to this sub- ject. Our knowledge likewise of the vegetation of sou- thern Europe, which has been the object of too many isolated labours, is obstructed by a mass of puzzling synonyms. As far as time and circumstances would permit, | have striven to clear away some of this ac- cumulation af Augean rubbish, and where [I shall be found to have erred, the cause of error will have doubt- IV less proceded rather from the wish to unite the same forms , than from any desire to create new names. Let us hope that this, and similar works may at length awaken the Spanish botanists from that tmvov dvaeyov Bay, in which they have too long indulged. It is to them alone that we must look for a complete catalo- gue of the richest and most varied Flora of Europe, for as Pliny truly says, after Italy the garden of the world, « exceptis Indie fabulosis, proximé quidem duxerim Hispaniam, quacumque ambitur mari. » A SYNOPSIS OF PLANTS COLLECTED IN THE SOUTHERN PROVINCES OF SPAIN AND IN PORTUGAL.

Our species is very nearly allied to Spherococcus armatus of Agardh, published in the Flora oder Botanische Zeitung, 1827, pag. 645, if I may judge from ihe very brief diagnosis supplied by that celebrated algologist. As I propose giving a figure and detailed des- cription of this as well as of the following species in the iconography of Mauritanian and Spanish plants preparing by Mr. Webb, it will suffice to mention here that the aculei simple in our plant are descri- bed as bifurcated in that of M. Agardh. I must however confess that I have observed two or three cases of bifurcation in our plant, but it is to be remembered that in the S. armatus Ag. this character is essential and not exceptional as in our plant. M. Agardh compares his plant to Sphzrococcus compressus , from which he says it differs by its being rose coloured and not olivaceous. Our plant is ofa dark purple colour approaching through desiccation to black, and has nothing whatever in common with S. compressus Ag. I doubted at first whether it might not belong to one of the many forms of S. con- fervoides Ag. but its internal structure , as I shall hereafter show, is . entirely distinct and very peculiar. (1) For the following description of two interesting species of Alge I am indebted to my excellent friend Dr. Montagne, { 2 DELESSERIA INTERRUPTA. Ag. (Spec. Alg. 1. pag. 179.)

It is much to be regretted that Mr. Webb’s herbarium con- tains only a single specimen of this rare and beautiful plant, and that too without the fructification which is still unknown. It is easily distinguished from all others of its tribe by the midrib of the frond interrupted at ‘intervals, and as a very distinct species fully merits the honour of a figure. C. Monracne.

Its size, the number and the colour of its spikes, which are united, and the disposition of the sexes, bring it near to C. Vablii Schk. and to C. parviflora C. A. Meyer, both of which however are distinguished from it by their trifid styles and other changes of conformation. C. nigra All. differs from it likewise by the number of its styles, and by its four or five spikes, of which one or two of the inferior are bracteated, and slightly pedicellated, whilst the upper is for the most part en- tirely male. Nor can it be compared to any of the 2-styled species unless it be to C. microstyla Gay. (in Gaud. Fl. Helv. 4, pag. 37, tab. 1.) or to C. foetida All. but both of these are immediately re- cognized by their many-spiked capitules , and by their very different habit and loftier stature. C. microstyla recedes from it moreover by its pale greenish capitule, bracteated at the base, and by its utri- 6 cules being shorter than the scale, smooth, somewhat scabrous at the edges, whilst C. foetida is easily distinguishable by its male flow- ers being situated not at the base but at the summit of the spikelets ! and by having the points of its utricules bidentated.

These two species, confounded by Linnzeus, probably from his not having seen wild specimens, were well defined, and rightly distinguished by Clusius. His figures somewhat uncouth give never- theless a good general idea of the differences between them. But the relative length of the leaves and the scape is overlooked , though it appears to me that this character is sufficiently constant and remar- kable in the native specimens. The jonquil had not been met with in its wild state since the time of the Flemish botanist, from whose bulbs imported iuto the gardens of the low countries all those culti- vated in Europe have since sprung. It appears to be entirely a Spanish plant confined to the grassy slopes on either side of the long line of the Sierra Morena, it is possible hawever that it may be found hereafter on the chain of Atlas. The N. juncifolius grows in the hotter and drier region around the Mediterranean gulph, though likewise still unnoted on ifs African shores. It was first registered in the Flora of Provence by Magnol under the original name of Clusius adopted by G. Bauhin, but since the time of Linnzeus had been con- sidered as the wild type of the garden jonquil, till their difference attracted the attention of two botanits who both as if of common accord gave it the same name, but the name as given by la Gasca is anterior by eleven years to that of Requien.

This plant differs by its two-leaved spathe , its larger blos- 9 soms , and other particularities, as well as by its time of flowering from the preceding. The former flowers abundantly in october and november immediately after the first autumnal rains. I have even found it in flower before the rains in the middle of August in the Zapharine Islands on the African coast, whereas the Leucoium tri- chophyllum does not blossom till later. Brotero (Flor. Lus., vol. 4, pag. 552) is disposed to consider the two plants as varieties, but I am inclined to the opinian of my late excelleat friend Sir Peter Schousboe that it is necessary to distinguish them specifically.

I gathered it not only in Spain plentifully but likewise in the woods around the Bosphorus and in the valley of Domouz Dereh on the Black sca.

It entirely covers the arid tracts where it appears, reaching a height of from 6 inches to 3 feet, though I have seen at times bushes which had at- tained 12 or more.

Oss. It has been the fate of this remarkable tree to have been overlooked for more than 200 years after the time of Clusius, and then to have been almost simultaneously rediscovered , and described un- der a multitude of names by various authors. This too is the more singular as regarding a tree which produces an object of primary importance, namely the gallnuts of commerce. Clusius indeed re- marks « galli autem extremis ramulis nascuntur , iis que in officinis venales reperiuntur, perquam similes; » and in fact when compared with the quercus infectoria , both as originally collected by Olivier, and as found by Labillardiére in Syria, and by myself and Mr. Parolini in Phrygia, the Spanish plant turns out to be identic with the levant species, whose product is so universally employed. This oak begins to appear both inthe eastern and western portion of the old world between the 41 and 42 degrees of northern latitude. It does not seem to pass the Pyrenees in the west, and in the eastI found it to the north of Constantinople in the valley of Domoiz Deréh which opens on the Black sea. How much further northwards it mounts in this direction I am unable to say. It descends as far south as Syria, but how far it follows in the west the chain of Mount Atlas cannot be yet ascertained. It is not indigenous in the Canaries, but as well as the chestnut has been introduced by the Spanish colonists. Like all its congeners this species is exceediugly variable, yet its variations may be followed from the eggshaped subspinous leaves 13 figured by Cavanilles, to the crenated heartshaped form which I have described as the variety 8. This and the variety Y. ) long considered as distinct species, the cup however the least changeable organ of this polymorphous genus, and its scales, are similar in all the va- rieties. On the arid hills of Valencia and Grenada it assumes the form described by Cavanilles, its more normal appearance is that fi- gured by Olivier, whilst in the fertile valleys of Andalusia and at the base the Djibbel Kibir it becomes the § and y of this catalogue.

I did not myself meet with this species, but I have thought it right to insert it here in order to give as above its very intricate and little known synonymy. As Desfontainies describes his plant with deciduous leaves, and Santi his as an evergreen, the learned Rei- chenbach with reasonable doubts is inclined to consider them as dis- tinct, (Fl. exc. vol1. pag. 177) but this difference depends as in Q. Lusitanica , Q. humilis and other subperennant species, on the greater or less rigour of the climate. Its leaves, its stiffer fastigiate habit, the turbinate form of its cup, and the much shorter bristles of its scales, together with its suberosity, sufficiently distinguish it from Q. Cerris, which like itself has been parcelled out into a multitude of supposed species. I have compared the authentic specimens of Des- fontaines with samples cut from the original Lucombe or Exeter oak , and find them identic. The seedlings raised from the parent tree vary considerably, and as it bears fruit very young we may expect to meet with many garden varieties. In fact the leaves of this genus af- ford characters of form only ona large and general scale, and the quantity and even the quality of their down is a very minor conside- ration. The most stable characters are those taken from the shape and scales of the cup, and its relative size as to the acorn: yet these sometimes vary, for nothing is so unchangeable in nature as to be 14 entirely subservient to precise definition. The leaves of this species approach nearer to Q. Libani Oliv. (voy. tab. 32) which is the Q. castaneefolia C. A. Meyer (Pfl. Cauc., pag. 44) than to Q. Cerris, they are however always glabrous in Q. Libani, and its large depres- sed fruit, and the wide rhomboidal scales of the cup retroflexed at the point, are exceedingly distinct, and remarkable. Q. Hispanica seems to be found here and there in the warmer parts of the medi- terranean region. The Lucombe oak is said to bave come from the Levant. ILICES. QuERCUS SuBER. Linn. Haz.

Lamarck first mentioned a variety of this plant with entire roundish leaves, such as it occurs frequently, under the name of Q. rotundifolia. Desfontaines described the species accurately, and the name he gave it is far preferable to that of Lamarck, which refers to a peculiar form of the plant, to whieh alone it should remain atta- ched. The Ballota begins to appear mixed with the other holm oaks between the 41 and 42 degree of north latitude, and continues to in- crease till in the south it is by far the most common species. It seems to make its appearance in Greece in the same latitude, and is perhaps the tree called Etymodrys and Hemeris by Theophrastus (1), but its eastern station seems to need further investigation for it is not impossible that the Hemeris of Theophrastus may belong to the varieties of Q. Robur mentioned as eatable by professor Tenore (Syll., pag 469). The distinctions between the Hex and Ballota are frequently little apparent in isolated specimens, but I observed that the peasants distinguished the trees accurately at a distance, whichjI was for a I) Quov thy tag yhuxetas Bahdvous époucay 6: ev Ausotdn xadovvrec otes etuuddouv.

The leavés of Bullota have always a tendency to assume a round rather than an elliptic form, toothed and entire leaves are mingled on the same branch, and the down with which they are cloathed is much thicker and of a different quality, the branches are stiffer, and the fruit besides being sweet is very long and cylindrical. It is of a much less hardy nature than the Ilex which becomes a large forest tree when cultivated in England, whilst a Ballota which I preserved for near 20 years:in a warm exposure had scarcely reached 6 feet during that time.

Though these two varieties are considerably different in appearance, yet no distinction can be observed in their inflorescence. In a section therefore so variable I have no hesitation in uniting them, These plants seem to pass into S. officinalis through the va- riety tenuior of Desfontaines, and will possibly with several others 20 constitute hereafter a single specific group, the centre of which will be the common sage. According to Mr. Bentham the S. Hispanorum of Professor La Gasca is synonymous with this species, but I believe that the narrow leaved variety was more particularly comprehended by this term, as was the case probably with the S. lavandulefolia of Vahl himself.

This species is certainly very distinct from N. rosea Salzm. and N. tuberosa Linn. its greatest affinity is with N. multibracteata Desf. Iam however inclined with Desfontaines himself to consider it as distinct. It differs from that species in its general habit, in its long thin spike, in the form of its bractez, and in the sharp pointed and almost pungent teeth of its calyx. In the plant collected by Desfontaines the verticillastres are brought together, into a long cy- lindrical spike, whilst inthat of Broussonet, which does not appear to differ otherwise, they are very remote. Its bractez , which are not scarious, but have the consistance of leaves, vary as to coloration. THYMUS ANGUSTIFOLIUS. Pers. T. cespititius Hoffm. et Link. T. serpylloides Bory. 6 pubescens.

This plant, though so different in appearance from many of the varieties of S. scordioides, approaches so near to §. Alpina and Py- renaica, that it is impossible to separate them; it is indeed just such a variation of these reduced forms of the species as one might ex- pect to meet with on hotter and more arid mountains. As it is found far lower down on the Tejeda chain, the epithet glacialis is scarcely appropriate , and as it merits distinction, it cannot be better signalized than by the name ofthe author who first called it into notice.

This species originally discovered by Tournefort in Pontus, was found likewise by Labillardiére in Syria near Seyde. I have not had occasion to compare the Spanish specimens with those of the original locality, but they are certainly identic with the Syrian plant. Thus it appears that under the same latitude the plants of the Eastern extremity of the Mediterranean are reproduced in the west. The ce- dar of Lebanon reappearing on the mountains of El Rif in Morocco, and the oak of the East which produces the gallnut covering the hills of Spain, are other not less striking examples , whilst the subtropical species which vegetate in Arabia betwean the 25 th. and 30 th. de- grees of north latitude are found again in the Canaries, | CAMPANULA DICHOTOMA.

I can see no difference between the two plants sent from India by Dr Wallich and the Egyptian, Canarian, and Spanish samples, and the species is so variable that I am doubtful whether any per- manent varieties can be signalised. The neighbourhood of Alicant is I beleive the northernmost station of this widely extended plant. AETHEORHIZA BULBOSA. Cass. Has.

Afieir this there re- mains no other difference but the incisions of the leaves, and its pygmy Alpine form, 32 CATANANCHE C/ERULEA. Linn. Has. In monte Sierra Nevada. CATANANCHE LUTEA. Linn. Has.

The leaves of this species resemble those of Notobasis syriaca, its involucre that of Ouopordon graecum, but its merely fimbrillated receptacle places it in the genus Cynara, whereas the genus Lamyra to which it approaches by the characters of its growth, and the scales of its involucre, has its receptacle garnished with fine silky hairs as long as the flowrets. The scales of its involucre differ only from Lamyra Hispanica in having a broader base. Ecurnops strigosus. Lamck. Has. In Betica vulgaris. CALENDULA ARVENSIS.

The Achzenia seem to be the only organs which allow us to seize on specific characters in this genus, these too vary, but all the rest are either entirely alike, or still more unstable. Other forms- will probably be hereafter united to this species, but 1 have not had an opportunity of ascertaining their identity. CALENDULA INCANA. Willd. Has. In rupibus maritimis freti Herculei prope Balonem et promontorium Junonis. Oss. This species, like the two preceding, is in certain localities perennant , from 2 to 5 or 4 years. The only difference I can find between it and C. stellata consists in its having the outer achzenia little or scarcely at all muricated, and its hoary tomentum, which however does not resist cultivation. I gathered at Velez Malaga a form which seems to unite them. AMBROSIA MARITIMA. Linn. Hap. Circa Gades. ARTEMISIA VALENTINA. Lamck. et Del. A. ramosa. Chr. Smith! A. Barrelieri. Bess!

Oss. This plant certainly approaches very nearly to Maruta to whichit has been attached by Professor de Candolle. Should it conti- nue to form a part of that genus it will constitute an independent section. Its differences consist in the nature, the caducity of the up- per, and the persistance of the lower palex of the receptacle, in the achenia which are subtetragone and striated, as in many species of Chamemelum, and not tuberculated and ribbed as in Maruta. The terminal areola is nearly oblitterated. The involucre is imbricated, and the rays of the corolla not reflexed. I met with a curious mon- struosily of this plant in Portugal, in which the inflorescence by pro- longation had become umbelliform. CLADANTHUS PROLIFERUS. DC. Has.

The stamens of this plant are not united at the base in a ring as represented by Cavanilles, but are exserted from the summit of the cup (urceolus) formed by the united folioles of the calyx, and which surrounds the ovarium but is not attached to it. The stigmas are two as Professor de Candolle justly observes and not three as fi- gured by Cavanilles. They are persistent and crown the thin and membranous capsule, which is indehiscent or rather which dehis- ces partially atthe base. A single ovule is suspended from the curved funicule originating at the base of the capsule. The seed is oval, en- larged below, and pointed at the summit. The hilum and chalaza are contiguous, the embryo campylotropous, and exterior, enclosing a proportionally long farinaceous perisperm. By this disposition of the embryo the radicule forms a boss protruded within the tegu- ment which at first sight might be taken for a raphe. HERNIARIA PANICULATA.

I cannot see any essential difference between the plant gathe- red in Provence and the Spanish specimens of U. australis, though these latterare much stronger and often considerably larger in all their AY parts .We are bound therefore to resuscitate the neglected name of the learned Spaniard Don Simon de Roxas Clemente y Rubio, whose fate it was to write too little, whilst what little he wrote is nearly unknown on this side the Pyrenees. His manuscripts prepa- red for the press are deposited in the Museum of Natural History of Madrid. Amongst them is a Flora ofthe Kingdom of Grenada, which would probably have superseded, had it seen the light, much of the detail of this little enumeration. ULEX GENISTOIDES. Brot.

On gathering the U. genistoides Brot. in Portugal I imme- diately perceived that it was not the same plant which I had found in Spain and attributed to that species. My Lisbon tickets bear the fol- lowing observation «}plantz Hispanice (an Genists species?) in Tur- detania olim lectz Stauracanthi aphylli nomen incauté in schedis in- didi. », The specimens of the same plant which I gathered on the Djibbel Kibir in May 1827 were not in fruit, andl owe to M. Boi- vin, who has paid great attention to the Flora of the Mediterranean, and particularly to that of its African shores, the first. information of the difference between the plants of Brotero and Salzmann, and my Spanish specimens | found identic with the latter. (1) I have much pleasure therefore in attaching to this plant the name of its se- cond discoverer, and the more so as he promises shortly to publish a monographic review of the genera of this section of Leguminosz. The figure and description of Dr. Lindley ( Bot. Reg. tab. 1452 ) be- long to the true U. genistoides Brot. raised from Portuguese seeds, but the account of the fruit taken, as Dr. Lindley himself says, from Salzmann’s dried specimens, refers to U. Boivini. I am clearly of the opinion of that learned author that the genus Stauracanthus should. not be retained. It is certain that the flattened pods of U Boivini, (1) I have some specimens gathered near Algesiras which appear to agree with the plant of Brotero, but they are in too imperfect a state to decide upon with any certainty. 7 oO though dispermous are not entirely analogous with those of the typi- cal species of Ulex any more than is the longer polyspermous fruit of U. genistoides. If however we separate them from Ulex we must coin two new genera, for they agree together only in being different fromit, but they differ in different ways. Moreover generic sections cannot be so accurately fashioned but that their extremities will vary from the type and lean towards other forms, how numerous soever they may be. As theleast therefore of two evils I prefer retaining this little group entire since these two'species possess the inflorescence, leaves, branches, and facies of Ulex, and differ only inhaving a fruit somewhat more approaching that of Genista. This however is a matter of mere convenience, and Iam persuaded that the more minutely we examine natural productions, such is the incessant progression of their chan- ges, the more we shall be induced to separate and distinguish them.

Thisisa very variable species, the southern forms of which ap- proach very nearly to G. Canariensis. The principal difference con- sists intbe flower-spikes being leafy which is never the case in that species, the flowers too in G. Canariensis are highly fragrant. The utmost limit of the long-spiked southern form of G. candicans is found at Madeira, but after a minute examination I cannot seize upon any cer- tain specific differences, though the plant has altogether another air. This species descends southward as far as Teneriffe where it is of rare occurrence, but altogether similar to the plant of the south of Europe. GENISTA PATENS. DC. Spartium patens Cav. Has.

These two latter species are very nearly allied to S. patens and to S. scoparius Wimm. but appear sufficiently distinct from both, though S. virgatus may perhaps prove a southern variety ef the lat- ter. S. Beticus approaches very near to S. patens but is certainly different, It differs likewise from S. arborens (spartum arboreum Desf.) by the shape of its calyx , its ovary, and its leaves, which are not fasciculated as in that species, its more striated branches, and other points.

As the verb decortico can only be used in an active sense the epithet decorticans is inadmissible. Since then it must be changed, this splendid species cannot well receive a more appropriate appel- lation, than that which I give it, in honour of the author from whose labours we learn so much of the beautiful region it inhabits. It is indeed truly astonishing that an European plant of almost arboreous stature with spikes of flowers sometimes a foot in length should so long have escaped detection. Its place in the linear series is close to A. Hispanicus, to which, though very entirely distinct, it approach- es the nearest. Ononis viscosa. Lamck. Has. In agro Tarraconensi. ONONIS RAMOSISSIMA.

Oss. This is certainly the plant described by M. Boissier as A. Te- jedensis, 1 sent no other seeds of Anthyllis to England. Its having as- sumed a larger form when cultivated prevented him from readily recognizing it as figured. ( See Bot. Mag. tab. 5284 and Hook. Comp. to Bot. Mag. vol 1. pag. 187. ) Sir W. J. Hooker having seen native specimens is now persuaded that the species is very distinct from A. Vulneraria. There is it is true a variety of this latter species grow- ing on the same mountain with purple flowers, but which I rea- dily distinguished on the spot as a mere variation of Vulneraria, whereas I marked the former as new, and carefully gathered its ripe pods.

This species belongs to the interior of Africa, it is exceed~ ingly abundant in the plain around the city of Marocco, but does not descend as far as the Canaries. Its northernmost station is probably 59 the south of Sicily, and this hot corner of Spain, or about the 37th de- gree of north latitude. It does not appear in Sardinia, nor in Portu- gal, unless it be yet to be found in the Algarves, for the cultivated plant described by Brotero under this name is probably a variety of Zizyphus vulgaris.

I can scarcely perceive in this species any thing beyond an uniflorous variety of the foregoing, andI am strengthened in this opi- nion by the identity of its internal structure and fruit. The diffe- rences of its appearance are considerable. Its strait or slightly re- curved subulate leaves are 6 to 8 lines long, the sepals are 4 lines in length, and the flowers are placed ou short foot-stalks about 6 Jines long, so that the upper pair of leaves do not form bracts at the base of the calyx as is coramonly the case in Arenaria tetraquetra. Such dif- ferences may possibly be specific, as I have not met with any other variety in which they are found, and it is singular that the plant oc- curs almost in contact with the var B of the above.

Oss. The character of the genus Luteola (see Phytogr. Can. p. 104) must be altered so as to admit this species and the Luteola glauca ( Reseda glauca, Linn.). The capsule in the three species is similarly formed, and differs only in the number of its valves, a difference oc- curring equally in the genus Reseda, and I learn from M. Gay, who has made long and accurate researches on the species of this family, that the value of the number of parts in the group is less than I sup- posed, and indeed almost null. Another difference between. L. tinc- toria and its two congeners consists in the single large upper petal of the former, but this anomaly has been most ingeniously explained, and its differential value diminished in the learned memoirs of M. A. de St-Hilaire on the Resedacece (see Prem. Mem. pag. 414. likewise our obs. ad calc, Resedellee Phyt. Can. pag. 107), Even if. we do not ad- mit the very remarkable hypothesis of M. de St-Hilaire, there is no- thing in the enlargement of one petal and not of two in this strange family to prevent the union of the three species of Luteola. The ge- nus therefore , as I propose to reconstruct it, will contain two groups, one formed of L. tinctoria, the other of L. glauca, and L.. complicata. I intend to develop this view of it in the Spanish iconography now preparing. 68 ASTROCARPUS SESAMOIDES. DC. Haxz.In Betice montibus Sierra de Agua, et alibi.

After all perhaps itis only a variety of that plant, for the manner of growth, and the leaves are identic but the flow- ers are smaller, which may account for the shortness of the spur.

The specimens preserved under this name in the herbarium DC. are identic with the Spanish plant as found by M. Rambur and myself, whilst those cultivated by Desfon- taines in the Paris garden differ only inthe greater magnitude oftheir leaves. On examining Jacquin’s figure I have no doubt of its belon- ging to this plant, whether it be really indigenous, which is very im- probable, in the austral hemisphere, or whether that locality was as- signed it through error. In the absence of authentic specimens of the C. Hispanica of Linneus I am unwilling to unite it with the above species, though I have little doubt of their identity. CAKILE MARITIMA. Scop. C.

Pro- fessors Fischer and Meyer ( Index 4 sem. pag. 44) have formed the Raphanistrum Gayanum from the variety therein named of R. sativus which is distinguished by the articulation at the base of the pod, for there is no other difference. I have since carefully cultivated several garden sorts, and they have yielded me these two varieties indiffe- rently at different times, but when left to sow themselves they have assumed entirely articulated pods, frequently even strangulated be- tween the seeds as in Raphanistrum. I am inclined therefore to con- clude that this second variety is the normal form of the species though to distinguish it, it must continue to bear the name of the learned and accurate observer who first noticed it. My experience as yet has been as follows. Of six varieties bought at a seed shop the yellow (1) and violet alone produced all their pods articulated, the large va- riety called raifort produced some plants with articulated, some with entire pods. On the following year the first two varieties, bought at a different shop, produced very few plants with articulated pods, whilst the grey variety had all its pods articulated, The disappear- ance of the lower articulation is effected, not by its abortion, but as may be easily seen in several varieties, by its coalition and fusion with the upper, a process which takes place likewise in the beak of the fruit of Sinapis arvensis, Linn. The dissepiment confounded by me formerly with the enclosing membranes (Phyt. Can. p. 84), exists, and the pod is decidedly bilocular. ERUCARIA ALEPPICA. Gaert. Has. In montosis circa Onil et alibi m Betica. HIRSCHFELDIA ADPRESSA. Moench. Sinapis incana. Linn. Has. Ubiqué in Hispania-et Lusitania meridionali. Oss. Hirschfeldia differs only from Erucaria by the conformation of itsembryo. The radicule is incumbent in both, but in Hirschfeldia the cotyledons are conduplicated, that is their sides are folded in- wards as in Sinapis, whereas in Erucuria their upper extremity is fol- ded downwards, so as to form whith the radicule a spiral convolu- tion. This is the only essential difference between the twogenera, and I know not whether it is sufficient to keep them asunder. This will depend on the importance which shall be found to belong to the pli- cations of the embryo in the formation of natural groups in this fa- mily, being the divers means which nature has imagined to pack it in a convenient compass. It remains to be seen whether she has accomplished this indifferently in various ways in all the most na- tural groups. BRASSICA CHEIRANTHOS. Vill. 6 montana. DC.

Though this species deviates remarkably from the character of the genus,tin having its seeds uniseriate, yetis it in every other res- pect a true Mroicandia, and so like the original species as not to be distinguished from it at first sight. The seeds are much larger than in M. arvensis, and this has probably caused the suppression of the op- posite ovules , fer they do not seem to abort, as there are no traces of their previous existence in the ovarium. The ovules are placed farther apart, the pod is marrower , and they have thence arranged themselves one after the other. I have likewise met with uniseriate pods in M. arvensis, the character therefore is not important. Mo- ricandia modified to admit this new inmate will still differ from Brassica (and a part of Sinapis Auctt. ) by its purple flowers, its ovoide or elliptical subemarginate seeds, and its general habit, and above all by its stigma decurrent exteriorly on each side of the style, 10 74 and not capitated as in Diplotaxis, DC. and Euzomum, Spach (Suites a Buffon, vol. 6, pag-580). This latter character will exclude from the genus M. hesperidifola, DC. which is a Diplotaxis and very nearly allied to D. erucoides, DC., or rather it must become Euzomun hes- peridiflorum, since Ruzomum forms a very useful division containing the purpleflowered Diplotaxis, and bearing about the same relation to that genus that Moricandia does to Brassica. The Brassica tereti- folia, Desf. appears to be altogether a real Moricandia. 1 have fol- lowed the plan of Professor Koch and placed the epithets more de- cidedly diagnostical in Italics, in order to bring at once to view the essential differences between M. Ramburii and M. arvensis to which it comes very near. MATTHIOLA TRISTIS. R. Br. Has. Ad thermas Lucentinas nunc Aygues, in monte Sierra de Tela, et alibi in Betica. i MATTHIOLA SINUATA. R. Br. Has.

In the Phytographia Cénariensis Ladhered to the opinion of 76 Professor Koch, and adopted as more ancient the genus Lobularia, but it appears that this name has been otherwise eraployed in zoolo- gy, Koniga therefore of right takes its place. Professor Reichen- bach bas placed our plant in this genus, and M. C. A. Meyer has created Ptilotrichum for two plants of northern Asia which may li- kewise forma part of it. The only difference in these plants consists in the number of the proeminences of the glandular ring, a matter not of generic importance as far as our present knowledge of that or- gan extends, whilst by uniting them we bring together species very nearly allied. Koniga will thus absorb Ptilotrichum, and admit seve- ral other species. KoniGA LAGASCA. Alyssum purpureum La Gasc. A. dubium Bory. Has. In rupestribus excelsis montis Sierra Nevada.
