A FLORA OF GIBRALTAR AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 13 



ID. Caryojyhyllus L. Eocks ; locally frequent ; 5-7. It often 

 has six bracts as in D. Boissieri, instead of four, as described. 

 I. Upper parts from north to south, above 600 ft ! 



D. Boissieri Wk. Eocks ; very rare ; 5-8. There is much 

 dispute as to the name of this species, but all authors regard it as 

 distinct from last. Kelaart identified it with D. sylvestris Wulf. 

 (Boiss?), which Perez Lara makes synonymous with D. virgineus 

 G. & G., D. Boissieri Wk., and D. longicaulis Ten. It has half- 

 included, non-contiguous, smaller petals than last, and slight 

 differences in sepals. I have never seen a specimen. I. Preci- 

 pices over St. George's Hall, K., D. 



Weleziarigidalj. Dry gravelly heaths; rare? 5-6. III. i. Path 

 to First Pine Wood ! 



Eudyanthe Cosli-rosa Eeichb. Grassy and bushy places ; 

 occasional ; 5-6. III. i. Alcadeza Crags ! Wooded slopes of San 

 Eoque, Boiss. ii. By the Miel and fields below El Cobre ! 

 Carnero Hills! 



E. keta Eeichb. Marshy places ; rather common ; 3-6. III. ! 



Melandrium microcarjmm Wk. Bushy places; rather fre- 

 quent ; 3-6. Corolla slightly cream-coloured, often decidedly so 

 on back ; capsule teeth erect or slightly spreading, not revolute, 

 but often scaphiform at apex so as to appear inflexed, seeds grey, 

 laterally compressed, quite rounded on back, punctate in rows. I 

 doubt its being more than a variety of M. i^ratense Eohl., with a 

 larger, more globose capsule. I. Mediterranean Steps ! Middle 

 Hill ! Near Signal Station ! Haynes's Cave ! &c. III. i. Queen 

 of Spain's Chair ! Alcadeza Crags ! Cork Woods ! ii. Waterfall 

 Valley ! Slopes over Pelayo ! Palmones Playazo ! 



Silene gallica L. Sandy fields, roadsides and waste places ; 

 very common ; 3-5. Varies greatly in size and colour of flowers, 

 corolla sometimes almost obsolete, or large and conspicuous, 

 white or rose. I. ! II. ! III. ! 



S. cerastioides Li. Similar places ; rare? 4-5. Very like last, 

 but never viscid, petals deeper rose and bipartite, calyx veins 

 anastomosing, teeth longer and narrower. I. Golm. i. Eoad to 

 S. Lorca ! ii. Algeciras, Nee. 



S. nocturna L. Eoadsides and gravelly places ; frequent ; 3-5. 

 Usually apetalous (var. permixta Jord.), then known from 

 *S. apetala by wingless seeds and long cylindrical calyx. I. Medi- 

 terranean Steps ! Engineer Eoad ! Commercial Mole ! Europe 

 Flats ! III. i. and iii. ! ii. Eailside near M. de la Torre ! My 1694 

 and 1840, common on mountains after a fire, with bright purple 

 petals, greenish on back, and longer carpophore than usual, are 

 probably this. 



S. hirsnta Lag. Sandy and heathy places; very common; 3-6. 

 Petals bright rose, calyx with very long spreading hairs, tul)e long 

 and narrow, curved up, seeds wingless. II. D., Schott. III. ! 



jS. mogadorensis Coss. & Ball. Sandy ground ; rare ; 4-5. 

 "Aspect of S. obtusifolia, but glandular pubescent, with narrower 

 leaves. Flowers purple. Calyx not contracted at mouth, teeth 

 oval, subobtuse ; anthophore more than half as long as capsule.
