Aucheri, Morea Sisyrinchium; with species of Scorzonera, Phagnalon, 
Haplophyllum, Ferula, Dorema, Caragana, Bongardia, Tetracme, Heteroca- 
ryum, Paracaryum, Iris, Derderia, Acantholimon, Acanthophyllum, Rheum, 
and many others, may be mentioned as common to both countries. 
Finally, it may be remarked, that most of the species of Pistachia 
produce galls, which have been used in dying in various countries ; 
and all of them secrete spontaneously a scanty resinous exudation, and 
yield to incisions a more fluid produet which afterwards inspissates.
