28 BEV. E. T. LOWE'S LIST OE ELANTS 



Madeira, or the Canaries. The only striking plant, to a European, 

 a Madeiran, or Canarian botanist, is a bed ofPeganim Harmala, L., 

 covering a flat space of two or three acres at the back of the beach, 

 on passing out of the south gate of the town. 



The Retama and Lentisk thickets of the low coast-hills alone 

 offer any resemblance to any parts of the Canarian Flora, — and 

 this only to certain regions at an elevation of from 1000 to 2000 

 feet in Grand Canary (El Monte), and in the Island of Palma. 



The lauriferous or ericaceous Madeiran and Canarian regions 

 are entirely unrepresented. 



An inspection of the following list will satisfy the inquirer that 

 the general character of the Mogadorian Plora is decidedly Algerian. 

 With the Canarian Elora, except in the usual universal weeds, it 

 has nothing in common of general, and very little of particular 

 features ; with Madeira, aa with the tropical regions further 

 down the coast, Sierra Leone, &c, it has absolutely nothing. 



Specimens of nearly all the plants here enumerated have been 

 placed in the Hookerian Herbarium at Kew, and in the Banksian 

 Herbarium at the British Museum in London ; and I desire to 

 record my obligations to my friends Sir W. J. Hooker and J. J. 

 Bennett, Esq., for the facilities afforded in the verification of their 

 names. 



The letters a, b, c, m, appended to any species, denote its occur- 

 rence also in Algeria, Britain, the Canaries, and Madeira. Des- 

 fontaine's ' Elora Atlantica ' andBabington's ' Manual ' have been 

 my chief authorities for the two former ; my own observations and 

 "Webb and Berthelot's ' Phytographia Canariensis ' for the two 

 latter habitats.
