238 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
B. intermedia, F. Vaillantii y. indica, and 8. Sehranunii are raised to specific 
rank as F. dubia, F. indica, and F. Schrammii respectively. The Canary 
Islands plant referred to F. montana, Schmidt, is separated as a distinct 
species P. coccinea. F. bicolor, F. Martini, F. purpurea, and F. occidentalis, 
described since the publication of Haussknecht’s work, are admitted as new 
species. Two Moroccan plants, ranked by John Ball as F. agraria var. 
atlantica and subspecies tenuisecta, are described as new species F. berberica 
and F. Ballü. F. micrantha var. Parlatoriana, Boiss. is included as 
F. bracteosa ; and F. australis is distinguished for the first time. 
The continental distribution of these 46 species may be summarized as 
follows :— 
Of the Grandijlore 21 occur in Europe and 7 are peculiar to that continent.

Of individual countries, the richest in Europe is Spain, where 17 species 
oecur—11 Grandiflore and 6 Parvijlore: France has 12 species, 6 of 
each section ; Britain 10, 6 Grandiflore and 4 Parvijlore ; Italy 11, 
7 Grandiflore and 4 Parviflore ; Balkan Peninsula 16, 9 Grandiflore and 
7 Parviflore; Germany 9, 2 Grandifore and 7 Parvijlore; Russia 9, 
1 Grandiflora (introduced ?) and 8 Parvifloræ. In Africa, 14 species 
(10 Grandiflore and 4 Parviflore) grow in Algeria, and 8 (3 Grandiflore and 
5 Parviflore) in Egypt. The number for Asiatic Turkey is 16, viz.: 
5 Grandijlore and 11 Parvijlore ; and for Persia 5, all Parviflore. These 
figures indicate the predominance of the Grandijlore in the Mediterranean 
region and Western Europe, and of the Parrifore towards the East and 
North, and in Asia, as pointed out on page 236. 
While six species, F. capreolata, F. micrantha, F. officinalis, F. Vaillantii, 
F. Schrammii, and F. parviflora, are remarkable for their wide distribution, 
a considerable number of species are distinctly local. Some of these are 
endemic in insular habitats, such as F. purpurea and F. occidentalis in Britain, 
F. coccinea in the Canaries, and F. montana of the Cape Verde Islands. 
F. bicolor, of the islands of the Western Mediterranean, is almost a similar 
example, althongh it occurs also in Algeria. F. Ballii, F. dubia, F. berberica, 
and F. Munbyi all seem to be rare North African plants : F. amarysia and 
F. Petteri are confined to Greece and Dalmatia respectively : and among the 
Parviflore, F. Janke appears local in Hungary, F. Boissieri in Mesopotamia, 
F. microstachys in Egypt, and F. australis in East Africa. Three other scarce 
species, F. rupestris, F. macrosepala, and F. sepium, are notable as only 
occurring locally on both sides of the strait of Gibraltar : and F. apiculata 
and F. Reuteri seem sparingly distributed in the Iberian Peninsula.
