A FLORA OF GIBRALTAR AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 63 



extremes, are very distinct, but are connected by many inter- 

 mediates, varying in habit, hispidity, leaf cutting, and inflation of 

 peduncles. I only cite stations in which I have collected 

 specimens. H. pendula is erect, usually glabrous, very slender, 

 buds nodding, leaves bright green, flaccid. I. Common on lower 

 parts ! III. i. Puente Mayorga ! 



YiiY.pmnatifida DC. has leaves pinnatifid and phyllaries hispid 

 at tips. Probably frequent. I. Eeclamation Road ! 



Var. rhagadioloides Lge. (sub H. polymorpha) is similar, but 

 hispid all over. I. Europa Flats ! I think frequent elsewhere. 



H. cretica Will. {H. jjolymorpha DC.'?). Open grassy and 

 sandy places ; very common ; 3-5. Always more or less pros- 

 trate, peduncles somewhat inflated, but not more than one- third 

 the diameter of fruit heads. Varies as much in leaf cutting 

 and hispidity as last, but leaves never bright green, usually thick. 

 I. Europa Flats ! Above Alameda ! North Front ! Sentry 

 Fence ! II. ! III. i. Near Linea Cemetery ! (with pinnatifid 

 leaves). Near Pinar de los Bigotes ! 



H. tubceformis Ten. {H. cretica var. subacaulis DC). Similar 

 places ; very common ; 3-5. Perhaps a variety of last, with 

 peduncles greatly inflated, at least half diameter of fruiting heads. 

 III. ii. Path near Reina Cristina Hotel, and elsewhere ! 



H. arenaria DC. In deep sand ; frequent ; 4-6. Very like 

 a HypochcBvis ; anthodes much larger than in last three, and 

 pappus rays always numerous. I. West side and sea sands near 

 Old Mole, K. ; not there now, I think. East side, Boiss. Sentry 

 Fence ! II. ! III. i. Linea ! Carteian Hills ! ii. Palmones 

 Playazo ! Sandy Bay ! iii. Palmones Sands ! 



[H. pygmaa Wk. I gathered a few specimens of a very 

 small species near the road and Spanish Lines on eastern side of 

 Neutral Ground, which may belong to this species, but they were 

 in flower only, and I was unable to find them again to get fruit.] 

 \Hyoseris scabra L. {H. microcephala Cass.). Dry rocky and 

 gravelly places ; rather rare ; 3-5. I. Buena Vista to Europa 

 Flats ! III. i. Slopes of San Roque, D. 



H. radiata L. Similar places ; abundant on Rock, rather 

 common in Spain. I. ! III. i. About San Roque ! Queen of 

 Spain's Chair ! Cork Woods ! ii. and iii. ! 



\Bhagadiolus stellakis DC. Grassy fields or bushy places in 

 light soil; occasional; 4-5. The type has lower leaves oblong- 

 lanceolate, dentate, not lobed. I. K. III. i. Foot of San Roque, 

 K., D. Carteian Hills ! Alcadeza ! Almoraima ! ii. Algeciras 

 Station ! M. de la Torre ! 



Var. edulis DC. has leaves lyrate pinnatifid, the terminal lobe 

 large, orbicular. I think as common as type and mixed with it ! 



Thrincia hispida Roth. Grassy and rough places ; both 

 varieties abundant ; 1-12, chiefly 4-5. 



Var. minor Boiss. is smaller in all parts, scapes 1-3 in. 

 I. ! II. ! III. ! 



Var. viajor Boiss. is more hirsute, scapes 3-12 in., thickened 

 at apex, heads twice the size. I. ! II. ! III. !
