40 bev. r. t. lowe's list oe plants 



66. Scabiosa Columbaria, L. — Flowers bluish-lilac. 



67. Valeriana Phu, L. — PI. pink. Abundant at the " Emperor's 

 garden." 



68. Erigeron ambiguus, Schultz in W. B. ii. 208 ; Conyza am- 

 bigua, DC. v. 381. 



69. Nolletia chrysocomoides, DC. v. 366 ; Conyza chrysocomoides, 

 Desf. ii. 269. t. 232. 



71. Inula viscosa, Ait., Desf. ii. 274 ; W. B. ii. 220 ; DC. v. 470 ; 

 Erigeron viscosum, L. ; Solidago viscosa, Lam. 



73. Anacyclus clavatus, Pers. ; DC. vi. 16 ; W. B. ii. 297 ; An- 

 themis clavata, Desf. ii. 287. — Very common in Mogador on roofs 

 of houses, walls, &c. Varieties, a ray white, and /3 ray lemon- 

 yellow. This plant also abounds in the more recent volcanic- 

 cinder viniferous parts of Lanzarote. 



74. Kleinia articulata (L.) ? — Not in flower. Brought by an 

 Arab, probably from some garden. 



75. Senecio crassifolius, Willd., DC. vi. 344 (excl. var. /3) ; W. B. 

 ii 320. — The true Lanzarotan plant ; and assuredly very distinct 

 from the Madeiran S. incrassatus, Lowe (S. crassifolius, /3, DC). 



78. Carduus tnacrocephalus, Desf. ii. 245 ; DC. vi. 621. — A fine 

 species, though of humble stature, viz. 6-12 inches high. Heads 

 very large ; spines of anthodium very long and finely acuminate 

 or slender, not strong or pungent ; florets purple. Very distinct 

 in appearance when growing from C. nutans, L. 



80. Scolymus hispanicus, L., Desf. ii, 241 ; DC. vii. 76 ; W. B ii. 

 388. — PI. small, axillary, sessile, orange. This species is common 

 in Gr. Canary and in Teneriffe, especially on the road from S ta - Cruz 

 to Laguna. But the habitat " Madeira, Lowe !," assigned to it by 

 DeCandolle, I.e., is a mistake, and should have been inserted under 

 S. maculatus, L., a plant extremely common in Madeira, where, on 

 the other hand, S. hispanicus, L., has not been found either by 

 myself or any other botanist of my acquaintance. The mistake 

 originates doubtless with Von Buch, who gives S. hispanicus, L., 

 and no other species of the genus in his list of Madeiran plants. 



81. Hedypnois cretica, Willd., DC. vii. 81 ; Hyoseris cretica, 

 Linn., Desf. ii. 232. — Stem branched diffuse. Plower-stalks 

 thickened, and scales of anthodium in fruit bristly-muricate up- 

 wards. 



82. Hedypnois arenaria, DC. vii. 82 (not Willd., sec. DC.) •, 

 Hyoseris arenaria, Schousb. — Slightly different in aspect, and with 

 a more lax and slender habit than //. cretica (L.), AVilld., DC, or 

 H. polymorpha, DC, both of which Schultz, in AV. B. ii. 396, pro-
