350 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
which is less sparingly represented in herbaria than the other forms of the 
genus and agrecs with none of Pomel’s diagnoses, is accordingly separated 
as a new species. It is of course possible that the forms from these localities 
that came under the notice of Pomel were identical with the Garrouban 
example, for it is almost certain from the mixtures observed in exsiccata 
that different species of this genus grow in company. But if so, it is curious 
that Pomel, who apparently knew Oran well, should not have met with the 
plant that has been most generally obtained there by other collectors.
