38 BEV. B. T. LOWE'S LIST OF PLANTS 



36. Oytisus arloreus, Desf. — Not in fl. ; and though probably 

 the plant of Desfontaines, yet much resembling in habit, pods, and 

 foliage Genista candicans, L. 



37. Retama monosperma (L.) ; Genista monosperma, Lam., DC. 

 ii. 150 ; Spartium monospermum, L., Curt. Bot. Mag. t. 683 ; 

 Desf. ii. 130. — Forming thickets 6-8 feet high on the hills up the 

 river. An apparently leafless shrub of a pale dull green colour, 

 with long fascicled drooping slender branches, and fragrant small 

 white fl. with a dark purple base or calyx. Pod short, inflated, 

 hard, of a yellowish, horny and subpellucid appearance. Seed at 

 first yellow, finally dark coffee-brown. 



38. Pedrosia arenaria (Brot.), Lotus arenarius, Brot., DC. — 

 Style distinctly bifid, as long ago correctly stated by Brotero in 

 Fl. Lusit. ii. 120, 121. Webb, in W. B. Phyt. ii. 82, enumerates 

 L. arenarius, Brot., as a Canarian plant ; but the specimens from 

 Bourgeau, under this name in the Hookerian Herb, at Kew, from 

 "Palma prope Fuencaliente " belong rather to L. Tiolosericeus, 

 "Webb, and are at least not the present plant. 



41. Medicago denticulata, Willd. — Whole plant smooth. Pods 

 solitary or in pairs, 4-5-whorled, smooth, with long spines hooked 

 at tip. 



42. Medicago littoralis, Bohde. — Pods smaller than in M. Helix, 

 Willd., i. e. only two lines in diam., and with their marginal spines 

 bent vertically up and down, instead of horizontal. It is a rather 

 common Canarian species. 



43. Ononis Natrix, j3, DC. Prodr. ii. 159. — This is also 0. JVatrix, 

 /3, pieta of W. B. Phyt. ii. 22, having the standard streaked with 

 dark lines. It seems to be also O. picta, Desf. ii. 144, t. 187. 



44. Ononis angustissima, Lam. — See AV. B. Phyt. ii. 23, 24, where 

 O. longifolia, Willd., is also quoted as a synonym. Compare also 

 O. gibraltarica, Boiss., which has, however, fragrant flowers. My 

 Mogador examples are unfortunately not sufficiently complete or 

 numerous to be quite free from doubt as to their exact determina- 

 tion. They agree, however, perfectly with Webb's plant in their 

 long linear leaflets. 



45. Ononis laxiflora, Desf. — Fl. lilac. O. pendula, Desf., and 

 O. Broussonetii, DC, are probably mere states or varieties of this. 



49. Epilobium hirsutum, L. ? — At the Emperor's garden, on the 

 margin of a streamlet. Not in flower, but quite resembling the 

 common English plant. 



50. Lythrumfiexuosum,liSig. = L. Greefferi, Ten.= L.junceuvi, 

 Sol., Lo\ve,=i. ligssopifolium, Desf. (not Linn.).
