A FLORA OP GIBRALTAR AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD S 



j-R. o2)hioglossifolius Vill. Marshes ; rather frequent ; 2-6. 

 III. i. Cork Wood Sotos ! Lajo Marshes ! Sand desert below 

 S. Carbonera, Boiss., Wk., D. ii. S. de Palma, Winkl. iii. Near 

 Salt Pans ! Between Guadacorte and Guadarranque Eiver ! 



jB. scelej'atus L. Marshes ; rare ; 2-5. III. i. Mill Soto ; 

 sparingly ! 



B. palnstris Sm. Damp grassy places and stream beds ; very 

 common ; 4-5. The aggregate covers the common species with 

 large very hirsute leaves, but it varies much in hispidity, and to a 

 less degree in leaf cutting. 



Var. viacwphyllus P. L. is the common variety, more or less 

 densely clothed with yellowish hair, peduncles hairy, terete, sepals 

 spreading or ascending, carpel beak recurved. My 1757, from 

 near Cortijo Trinidad, is a peculiar variety with longly petiolulate 

 central leaf-segments; it is like B. Alece, Wk., but the root is 

 hardly subbulbous. III. ! 



Var. adscendens P. L. Much more glabrous, leaves, especially 

 upper, more cut into narrower segments ; sepals more strongly 

 reflexed. A very local variety. A distinction is made by many 

 botanists between B. adscendens of Brotero's Fl. Lus. p. 370, and 

 Phyt. Lus. ii. p. 229 ; but the author obviously intended these to 

 be the same. There is, consequently, some confusion of names, 

 and I suspect that Perez Lara's records of B. Broteri refer to 

 var. 77iacrophyllus. III. i. Soto behind Long Stables! (I believe 

 this variety, but not collected). iii. Guadarranque marshes, 

 plentiful ! 



[B. Steveni Andr. f var. muUifidus Amo is recorded by Dautez 

 from the Guadarranque marshes. The last-named variety, which 

 he does not record, bears a superficial resemblance to it.] 



B. trilohus Desf. Similar or drier situations ; very common ; 

 3-5. Usually glabrous, flowers half the size of those of B. Sardous. 

 A dwarf form is found on the summit of the Frayle ridge at 

 2500 ft. or more. II. ! III. ! 



[B. Sardo2is Or. is recorded by Dautez from Neutral Ground 

 and foot of S. Carbonera. Probably he mistook B. trilohus for it.] 

 B. 'parviflorus L. Shady banks and grassy places ; locally 

 frequent ; 4-5. III. i. From Second Venta to Long Stables and 

 Almoraima ! ii. Between M. de la Torre and Palmones railway 

 bridge ! Mountains ! 



B. muricatus L. Damp grassy and marshy places ; rather 

 common; 3-5. II.! III. I 



B. arvensis Li. Cornfields; very common; 3-5. III.! 

 Ficaria ranunculoides Moench. var. grand iflora P. L. Marshy 

 and damp fields and woods ; very common ; 12-4. Much larger 

 than type, with conspicuously reticulate leaves. I have not seen 

 type, nor has Perez Lara in the Province ; but he cites Amo's 

 record, " the neighbourhood of Gibraltar." II.! III.! 



Adonis autumnalis 1j. Cornfields; rare; 4-5. III. i. Between 

 San Eoque and Alcadeza Crags I 



Anemone pahnata L. Dry heathy places and open parts of 

 woods; rather common ; 2-5. III. i. and ii. !
