 lehem.

Leueojum autumnale. 



Coronilla juncea.

QJius hirtus, 1 two fpecies of Ciftus, of 



fahifolius, J which the latter is called 



Pto in Spanifh, and is a fmall flirub which made 

 but a poor appearance at that time : for the 

 branches were of the fame colour as the ground 

 they lay on, and fo were the leaves ; but in 

 March it furpaffed all its neighbours, by its 

 large odoriferous white flowers. 



It began to rain harder and harder, which 

 made me haften back ; but I turned into an- 

 other road, which led to the town of St. Lu- 

 cas. I here found about the gardens the Spar- 

 tiumfpinofum, with its fine golden yellow flowers. 

 At lad I was obliged to turn off to the left of 

 the road, and came on a common, which, ex- 

 cepting fome little hillocks, was all under wa- 

 ter : upon it I found a plant till then quite un- 

 F 2 known.
