A FLORA OF GIBRALTAR AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD V 



gives what he supposed to be their Latin equivalents, and 

 attributes them to Talbot, i. e. Sir J. Talbot Dillon, who, without 

 acknowledgement, copied James's list into his Travels through Spain 

 (1780). It does not appear that Dillon ever went to Gibraltar. 

 Though many of the species are undoubtedly natives of the Rock, 

 their doubtful associations and the difficulty of ascertaining pre- 

 cisely what James's names meant, render the whole list untrust- 

 worthy, and I do not propose to establish any records upon it. 

 It is too long to reproduce here, but forms an interesting study. 



L. Nee collected in Andalusia in 1780-82. I am not sure 

 that he ever visited the Rock, but the following records are 

 assigned to him for Gibraltar : — 



Delphinium pentagynum, Lotus cytisoides, [Thapsia decussata), 

 Notochlcena vellea. 



x\yala's History of Gibraltar (1782) gives about thirty names 

 in popular Spanish nomenclature, some cultivated and others 

 mentioned only by the generic name. The following are the only 

 ones at all definitely indicated : — 



Myrtus comiimuis, Umbilicus pendulinus, Hedera Helix, 

 Convolvulus Soldanella, [Cynanchum monspeliacum] , Rosmarinus 

 officinalis, Euphorbia dendroides (probably E. Characias), E. Para- 

 lias, [E. Myrtites (sic)], Scilla hcmisphcerica, Allium roseum (ex 

 Colm.). 



Francis Masson collected in Gibraltar, Spain, and Portugal 

 in 1783. A MS. list of his specimens in the Banksian herbarium 

 is in the National Herbarium. The following are marked 

 "Gibraltar," omitting two already recorded. The number of exclu- 

 sions is disconcertingly large, and may be partly due, as with 

 Tournefort's list, to a misinterpretation of some of the names, or 

 to errors on Masson's part. It is more than likely also that his 

 " Gibraltar" meant the whole neighbourhood: — 



Delphinium peregrinum, Papaver hybridum, Cistus albidus, 

 [C. anglicus'] , [Halimium Libanotis] , Bcseda alba, [Eudyanthe 

 IcBta] , Silene littorea ! (recorded as Saponaria ocymoides), Geras- 

 tium gibraltaricum, Buta graveolens (doubtless B. chalepensis), 

 Cratcegus Oxyacantha (i. e. C. monogyna), [Chmrophyllum, sp.] , 

 Torilis nodosa, Orlaya maritima, ElcBoselinum foetidum ! [Ptero- 

 ccphalus Bro2issonetii] , Campanula mollis, C. Bapunculus, Thymus 

 diffusus ! [Satureia Juliana] , [Sideritis hyssopifolia'] (Willk, 

 Prodr. ii, p. 454, thinks this may be a form of S. scordioides), 

 [S. vwntana] , Anagallis linifoUa, [Armeria latifolia] , {Statice 

 cordata) (perhaps S. virgata), Plantago Lagopus, [Panicum 

 junceum'] , Spartina striata, Agrostis p)anicea (probably Polypogon 

 monspeliensis) , Lagnrus ovatus, Corynephorus canesccns, Cutandia 

 maritivia, Melica ciliata ! Dactylis glomerata, Vulpia geuiculata ! 

 V. Alopecurus ! Agropyron junceum, Brachypodiwn distachyum, 

 Lobium p)erenne. 



The Abbe Pourret collected in Spain about 1790. The 

 following are among his records for "Gibraltar," but perhaps not 

 for the Rock itself : —
