as suspected by De Candolle; he describes it from very im- 
perfect specimens, which he found in Sibthorp’s herbarium, 
along with Gnaphalium luteo-album, from Crete. It appears to 
me so unlikely that these plants should have grown together, 
that I suspect some confusion of habitat, and that Sibthorp 
did not collect his plant in Crete, where no one has found 
it, but on Mount Olympus, which he visited, and where he 
could not well have missed finding it. 
The Royal Gardens are indebted to Mr. Niven, of the 
Hull Botanic Gardens, for living plants which flowered at 
Kew in May.
