192 ON KONIGA INTERMEDIA. 



On Koniga intermedia, of the Canary Islands; by P. B. 

 Webb, Esq. 



With a Plate, Tab. VI. — (by mistake entitled K. Brunonis.) 



Koniga intermedia, Webb. 



Caulibus elongatis pedicellis gracilibus, loculis 1-2 sperrais.

Hab. In convallibus, et rupestribus insularum Canariensiura 

 frequens. 



Obs. Si priorum (K. Lybica, nobis, et K. maritime, Br.) 

 alteristri jungenda esset L. intermedia, plantaque variabilis; 

 neutrique abnormis, diu incerti haesimus. A L. mantima, 

 cui magis affinis, habitu majore, caulibus elongatis, locu- 

 lisque dispermis, in primis differt. Flores, ut in L. Lybica, 

 omnino inodori. In genere ergo, quale hoc concept 

 acumen Brownianum, tam vere concinno, est fructibus 

 ignotis, ipsae confunderentur species antiquae, cum prae- 

 sertim nullis herbariis specimina europaea L. maritime 

 aut africana Fontanesii, aut syriaca Billardieri, nee nostra 

 sicula et melitensia, disperma vidimus, pro specie, m ter 

 ambas collocanda, Canariensi, distinctaque habemus. 

 This is a diffuse shrub, with leaves more or less sericeo- 



pubescent, but when cultivated, green. 



There is in M. Borgeau's forthcoming collections of Canary 



Island Plants, another species called by me K. Brunonis, a 



stiffer, erect, narrow-leaved plant, which is probably tha 



alluded to by Brown in his Appendix to Clapperton as a 



species or variety of Koniga, from Teneriffe.
