Bez MR. C. C. LACAITA : A REVISION OF 
determination. In Corsica the species seems to be exceedingly rare. I have 
only seen one specimen, in hb. Mus. Paris ex hb. Grenier labelled 
* FE. ereticum, sommet calcaire plus haut du Pic de Pigno sur Nouzo.” 
Viviani, Fl. Cors. Diagn. p. 3 (1824), quotes macranthum = grandiflorum 
from Bonifacio. 
3. The specimens from the district between Hiéres and Nice belong to a 
quite special narrow-leaved variety, which I think merits a name and might 
be called var. provinciale. The stem is erect and the inflorescence narrow. 
The root-leaves measure 6-10 em. by 1-2 cm.; those of the stem are only 
about 5 mm. broad. Their indumentum is softer, and their appearance when 
dried paler and more buff-coloured than in the other forms. The corollas 
are of full Algerian size. Of this variety I have seen many examples from 
the Esterel range, from Agay, Fréjus, Antibes, Roquebrune, Bormes, Hiéres, 
and from the summit of the Maures range *à la Sauvette.” I do not think 
that Lamarck’s or Linnzeus's plant can have arisen from a form so different 
in leaf-shape, habit, and general facies. 
4. The plants of. the Spanish borderland are mostly rather diffuse, with 
broad leaves, rather rougher than those of the Algerian plant, and with 
corollas of very variable size, some as long as in Algeria, others at least one- 
third shorter. These are probably the origin of the cultivated plant. But 
the shorter corolla, as said before, does not indicate a specific difference. 
Some of the following exsiecata are labelled australe, some creticum, some 
grandiflorum :— 
(a) from France. 
1. Soc. Dauph. no. 3822 from Banyuls-sur-Mer (in hb. Lacaita). 
2. Banyuls ; ex. hb. Loret, hb. Timbal-lagrave, and hb. Gautier. 
3. Cerbére à la Tour du Midi (in hb. Bonaparte). 
4. Vallée de Consolation près Collioure (hb. Mus. Paris). 
(b) from Spain. 
1. Cadaques (Catalonia); Sennen Pl. D'Esp. no. 828 as *ereticum 
forma grandiflorum." 
2. Rosas near Gerona (in hb. Bonaparte). 
3. Figueras (lib. Bonaparte). 
4. Cambrils (Tarragona) (hb. Bonaparte). 
5. Benicarló (Castellon de la Plana) (hb. Bonaparte). 
6. Port Bou (hb. Bonaparte). 
9. I regret that I have not been able to see any specimens from Portugal, 
but Coutinho has dealt with the species so well in his Fl. Port. p. 510 (1913), 
that we may safely accept his view, from which it is clear that Lamarck’s 
plant might have come from Portugal. Coutinho distinguishes two varieties 
of australe: (a) genuinum, with branching habit and corollas of 13-20 cm.,
