180 NOTES OF A BOTANICAL TOUR 
Anagallis, Potamogeton natans, Juncus effusus and Scirpus 
Savii. In Fayal, where the low grounds consist of porous 
rocks, which allow very little water to remain on the surface, 
the marsh productions thus associate with the alpines; and 
these alpines are several of them large plants, unlike the dimi- 
nutive growth of the Scottish Highlands. To these species we 
may add Sibthorpia Europea, Tormentilla officinalis, Fra- 
garia Vesca, Lysimachia nemorum, (or L. Azorica), Cotyledon 
Umbilicus, and Thymus cæspititius, as farther souvenirs of the 
Flora of the Caldeira; and generally that of the hilly parts 
of the island. 
Some other plants also occur on the hills between Flamingos | 
and the Caldeira, which I do not recollect to have seen within — - 
it, though it is likely enough that they may be most of them 
found there, if sought for; namely, Dicksonia Culcita, A8- 
plenium anceps, Juncus ericetorum, Serapias cordigera, Fe estuca 
jubata, Tolpis macrorhiza, Nephrodium molle, Holcus molis, —— 
Rubia splendens, Hypericuln grandifolium, Aira caryophyllea, 
a handsome (but yet unascertained) species of Solidago, à 
Habenaria allied to H. viridis, a new Carex, to which Dr. 
Boott has attached the specific name of Watsoni, and some 
few more plants. Menziesia polifolia is extremely abundant 
on the hills, and was also, I think, seen in the Caldeira. 
Calluna vulgaris and Myrica Faya are plentiful in places 
above Flamingos. A Rubus, with larger flowers than our 
native species, also occurs locally. T 
. Among the more interesting productions of the lower parts 
_ of the island, and not mentioned in my former letter, may — 
be enumerated the following; namely, Solanum pseudo-cap- 
sicum, Physalis pubescens, Frankenia pulverulenta, Arenaria 
macrorhiza, Lathyrus Tingitanus, Trifolinm Ligusticum, Do- 
rychnium parviflorum, Asplenium palmatum, Gymnogramma 
leptophylla, Lythrum Grefferi, Chrysanthemum Myconis, Mi- 
croderis rigens, Bidens leucantha, Cyperus badius and C. 
esculentus, Gaudinia fragilis, Festuca petrea, Juncus tenuit. 
and Urospermum picroides. Laurus Indica and an Olea, allied 
to excelsa, are doubtful natives, : dis
