84 FLORA OF DALMATIA. 
IWeldeni, Vis.,) which I found last autumn at the foot of the 
Biocovo, occupying whole districts, which, when in flower, it 
fills with its overpowering scent. The goats that eat the blos- 
soms of this shrub yeild, at the time, a milk which occasions 
the headache. This plant, which never becomes arborescent, 
is distinguished by its shooting out leaves twice in the year, 
the second growth being much smaller, and more pointed than 
the first, and remaining green till late in the winter. Genti- 
ana crispata and flavescens, Vis., were discovered by Professor 
Petter on the Biocovo, flowering in September. Lilium Chal- 
cedonicum 1 found on the Vellebit last year, with Senecio ab- 
rotanifolius, Androsace villosa, Achillea Clavenne, Mentha 
Croatica (new to Dalmatia), Campanula tenuifolia, W. K., 
and C. divergens on the Karben mountain.  Sempervivum 
stellatum, a Bupleurum, and Euphorbia, that seem to me new, 
I possess from the Biocovo. Astragalus Milleri, (Stet. Hoch.) 
about Karin, Euphrasia serotina, W. K., Onobrychis sphace- 
lata, Myosotis Apula, Orchis Simia, sambucina, fusca, pyrami- 
dalis and variegata, Ranunculus Tilyricus, from the Vellebit, 
Scabiosa acutiflora, Reich., Saxifraga repanda, Veronica ar- 
vensis, &c. besides Convolvulus Cneorum on Lessina, Anthyl- 
lis Barba Jovis at Comissa, and Pancratium Illyricum, both 
in abundance at Lissa, Corrigiola littoralis, and Cardamine 
Gidia, at Corzola, with several other plants, the fruits of 
later research, prove how rich is the Flora of this country at 
almost all seasons of the year; for even in autmun, when every 
thing is out of blossom in Germany, a new life seems to per- 
vade the plants here, which frequently flower for the second 
time, September yielding a harvest to the botanist of from 
thirty to forty most interesting species. 
The numerous attempts that I have made at cultivation 
prove how great are the difficulties which the extreme. heat 
and absence of rain during the hottest season of the year pre- 
sent towards the naturalization of the more useful and orna- 
mental Europzan plants. Among the few that succeed well, 
are the Mulberry, Robinias, the various species of Rhus, Aca- 
cia lophantha and Farnesiana, Nerium splendens, and some
