ANDRYALA mogadorensis, Cosson in Herb. Balansa. 
This beautiful undershrub forms snow-white masses on a 
little rocky islet in the bay of Mogadore, on the Western 
Marocco Coast, in lat. 314° N., and has hitherto been found 
nowhere else. It was discovered by Balansa in 1868, and 
gathered by Messrs. Maw, Ball, and myself there in May, 
1871. Mr. Maw was so fortunate as to transmit a living plant 
to his garden at Benthal Hall, Broseley, which flowered in the 
following April, and is here figured. 
The genus Andryala is chiefly a Mediterranean one, and 
finds its south-western limit in Marocco and the Canary 
Islands. Most of the species are herbs, with little to re- 
commend them to the horticulturist, the present one being 
considerably the most handsome of those known to me. 
Escr. A small undershrub, one to two feet high, with 
straggling habit, densely clothed with a thick snow-white 
appressed tomentum, and the upper parts and inflorescence 
especially covered with spreading black glandular _ hair. 
Leaves crowded, very variable in size and shape, the radical
