237. S. Botssteri, J. Gay, ap. Coss., Not. Pl. Orit. Esp., 1. 
(1850) p. 32; Botss., Voy. Bot. Esp., ii. (1845) p. 93, t. 24 
(S. ramosissima) ; Rohrb., Monogr., p. 169. 
By an over-strict application of the law of priority, S. germana, which 
is reduced to this species, might stand as the name of the plant, since it is 
described on the preceding page, but there seems to be inaccuracy in details 
in the textual description of the authentic specimens, by which its affinity 
with allied plants is obscured, so that to avoid possible confusion it is best 
- and most convenient to adopt Gay’s other plant as the type, as Rohrbach 
has done in his monograph, but without noting the discrepancy. Both 
plants are found on the same mountain. 
Hab. Andalusia and Sicily ; but Todaro’s record in Sicily is 
somewhat doubtful.
