A FLORA OF GIBRALTAR AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 65 



in. glabra L. Sandy fields ; frequent? 2-6. Annual, glabrous, 

 flowers small, closing at noon. Varies in length of beak of outer

 III. i. and ii. ! 



[Seriola atnensis L. A specimen from Willkomm at Kew 

 labelled " Malaga and Gibraltar" was probably gathered near the 

 former place. Kelaart records it from the neighbourhood of 

 Gibraltar.] 



Taraxacum officinale Wigg. {T. Dens-leonis Desf.). Grassy 

 places and roadsides ; rare ; 5-6. Kelaart records var. Icevigatimi 

 DC, with runcinate pinnatifid leaves, and var. ohovatum DC, 

 with them entire, from the Eock. There is little doubt that he 

 mistook Hyoseris radiata for it. [I. K.] III. ii. Algeciras, Bev. 



Lactuca tenerrima Pourr. Eocks and old walls ; locally very 

 common; 6-7. Usually as fvar. scabra Boiss., with scabrid 

 white hairs, but the type occurs. I. ! III. ii. Walls at Algeciras 

 and El Cobre ! 



L. saligna L. Ditches and banks ; rare ; 7-9. Stem leaves 

 narrow, entire, sagittate, the radical often sinuate-lobed. III. i. 

 Eailway about San Eoque Station ! ii. Eailside near Algeciras ! ? 

 iii. Salt Pans ! ? Guadacorte Marsh ! ? Leaves only seen in last 

 three stations, which may have belonged to L. Scariola L., a 

 common species in the province. 



Picriclium tingitanuyn Desf. Sands by sea, and rocky places ; 

 frequent ? 4-6. Usually short, phyliaries broadly ovate, squarrose, 

 the outer acuminate, conspicuously broadly scarious, white-edged. 

 I. Clefts of rocks on west slopes, K., D., Bev. II. ib. III. ii. 

 Algeciras, Bev. 



P. intermedium Schultz. Sandy and gravelly places ; com- 

 mon ; 2-5. Annual, slender, leaves thin, green. I. ! III. ! 



P. vulgare Desf. var. crassifolium Wk. Eocks and sandy 

 places near sea ; rather frequent ; 1-12, chiefly 3-5. Perennial, 

 phyliaries lanceolate, outer not squarrose, nor broadly winged. 

 The type, which is not recorded, has the habit of P. intermedium, 

 the var. is dense and compact, with thick fleshy leaves. I. ! II. ! 

 III. i. San Eoque, Golm. ii. Palmones Playazo ! Sandy Bay ! 

 Carnero Point ! 



fVar. maritimum Boiss. Has all leaves pinnatipartite, with 

 narrow segments. I. East and south slopes, Boiss., K., D. III. ii. 

 Palmones Playazo ! 



Sonchus tenerrimus L. Eocks, bushy places, and old walls ; 

 very common ; 1-12, chiefly 2-6. Varies greatly in leaf cutting 

 and size of flower. 



tVar. IcBvigatus Lge. (var. anmms Lge. ?). Annual, peduncles gla- 

 brous, leaf segments narrow, acute. I. D. III. ii. Waterfall Valley ! 



Var. glandulosus Lge. Annual, peduncles densely glandular, 

 leaf segments broadly oval, obtuse. I. Wk. III. ii. Near 

 Algeciras, Wijikl. 



fVar. spinulosus Lge. As last, but leaf segments acute or 

 acuminate, much spinulose dentate. III. i. Alcadeza Crags ! 



Var. perennis Lge. Perennial, peduncles and heads glabrous
