VII. MALVACEE. 
MALVA SYLVESTRIS, L., var. OXYLOBA. Folia acute 3-5-lobata, 
lobis argute dentatis. 
Hab. ad Tel-er-Ramé, ditionis el-G hor. 
A specimen of this variety from near Leghorn is found in the 
Kew Herbarium, from the herbarium of J. Gay ; also one from 
Transylvania. 
ALCEA ACAULIS, Cav., var. LONGIPES. Pedunculi flore »quilongi 
vel longiores. 
Hab. ad radices montis Carmeli. 
This species is not happily named, as it is often caulescent, and 
sometimes with rather long trailing or ascending stems. 
VIII. LINACEZ. 
Linum Rıcınıssımum. Basi suffruticosum, caudiculis tor- 
tuosis numerosis, foliis puberulis glaucescentibus carnosis turio- 
num steriium confertis imbricatis minutis oblongo-obovatis 
acutatis margine albo minute denticulatis, ramorum fertilium 
lineari-oblanceolatis, ramis fertilibus erectis foliosis apice laxe 
corymbosis, floribus..., capitulis sphericis breviter acumi- 
natis. 
Hab. in vallibus ad radices montis Kapucham-Dagh prope 
Marash; floret »state. 
A. plant 6-8 inches high, shrubby at base, well distinguished 
from other Linums by the small rosettes of imbricated leaves 2-3 
lines long and broad on the sterile branches; the scattered 
stem-leaves are 4-5 lines long, 1 line broad; ripe capsules 2} 
lines broad. This species would seem to constitute a new section 
in the genus Linum, nearest to Syllinum. Its place can only be 
determined when flowering specimens are obtained. 
IX. LEGUMINOSE. 
GENISTA ALBIDA, Willd., var. BIFLORA. Indumentum seri
