BOTANY OF THE AZORES. 605 
glued down, will not enable me to make a proper 
description of this, which I cannot refer satisfac- 
torily to any described species.

Flores 
Fruticosa, inermis, subcarnosa, ramis erectis 
superne foliosis, foliis sessilibus confertis crassis 
subcoriaceis lineari-oblongis mucronatis sparse- 
pilosis purpureo-glaucescentibus, pedunculis co- 
rymboso-umbellatis (axillaribus solitariis longio- 
ribus et terminalibus numerosis umbellatis) sub- 
quadriradiatis : radiis furcatis dicephalis, bracteis 
involucris florum masculorum squamis pedun- 
culisque junioribus villosis, fructu verrucoso. 
Hab. in fissuris rupium, alt. 1500-2500 ped. angl. 
supra mare. Ad hanc proxima certe Euphorbia 
mellifera, Ait. (Flo. Azo. No. 172) sed distin- 
guenda (an semper?) folis levibus, lanceolatis, 
tenuiter uncinato-apiculatis, basi fere in petio- 
lum attenuatis, in herbario conspicue venosis; 
et quoque inflorescentia minus composita atque 
subleve, id est, pedunculis corymbi sublevibus 
tri-quadriradiatis, radiis simplicibus monocephalis, 
bracteis ciliatis tantum, et involucris extrinsecus 
levibus. Having seen very few specimens of E. 
mellifera, I am not prepared to say whether the 
characters above given will always distinguish 
that species from E. stygiana. Among the many 
preoccupied names in this genus, all those most
