SCROPHULARI ACEiE . 



Vcrbascum thapsiforvie Schrad. Sandy ground ; locally 

 frequent; 4-6. I.? Leaves apparently of this species on slopes 

 above Catalan Bay ! ? III. i. Cork Woods near Soto Gordo ! 

 ii. Palmones Playazo ! iii. Palmones Village ! 



V. sinuatum L. Sandy banks and roadsides ; frequent ; 6-9. 

 I. ! II. ! III. ! With white flowers by railway near Guadacorte ! 



V. virgatwn With. Similar places; rare; 5-6. III. i. By 

 river above Almoraima ! Lane to First Venta ! Near San Eoque, 

 Brouss. iii. Palmones Village ! 



i Scrophularia laxiflora Lge. By streams and in woods; 

 locally common ; 3-5. Cymes very lax, much more so than in 

 S. aquatica, flowers often pale, leaves not auricled. I. Near 

 Willis's and catchment above ! III. i. Cork Wood Sotos ! 

 ii. Mountain valleys ! 



[S. lavigata Vahl. A specimen from the Waterfall, my 884, 

 exactly matches one from Ball, from same neighbourhood, 

 labelled thus, but with a sign of doubt. It may be a form of last 

 with leaves acutely doubly serrate. It is a Moroccan species.] 



*S'. auriadata L. {S. suhverticillata Moris). Damp places in 

 open ground, not in woods ; frequent ; 3-9. Stout, cymes very 

 dense, very dark-flowered, in a narrow raceme, flowers con- 

 tiguous, bracts very broad, deeply lacerate, also sepals ; leaves 

 usually with one or two pairs of pinnae at base. II. ! III. ! 



f Var. minor Lge. (L. aquatica L. ?) has probably been con- 

 founded with S. laxiflora, if it be really distinct. III. ii. Alge- 

 ciras, Bev. 



S. samhiLcifolia L. {S. mellifera Vahl.). Koadsides and ditches ; 

 rather common ; 2-4, I. Sandpits ! Above Alameda Parade !

 3-5. The type (not recorded) has leaves much divided, with 

 toothed lobes. 



Var. }nnnatifida Boiss. Leaves dentate or irregularly pinna- 

 tifid. III. i. Alcadeza Plains ! Near Soto Gordo ! Near 

 Majarambout Woods ! Cork Wood Crags ! 



Var. frutescons Boiss. More woody, leaves less cut. Var. 

 hcntica Boiss. hardly differs. I. Schucht ! Rare, K. III. i. Fre- 

 quent about San Roque, K. Alcadeza Plains! ii. Palmones 

 Playazo! iii. Palmones Sands ! 



[Anarrhinum laxifl,oriim Boiss. was gathered by Reuter 

 between San Roque and Grazalema, which is probably outside 

 our limits. Debeaux cites it as " rocky hills of San Roque."] 



A. bellidifolium Desf. Bushy hills; rare; 5-6. I. Vo7i 

 Martins. III. i. Sea-sand at foot of Fort S. Felipe, D. 

 Pedrera, D. Alcadeza Crags ! 



[Antirrhinum Linkianum B. & R. is one of Gandoger's 

 determinations from rocks in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar, 

 Dasoi. Stem woody, leaves very broad, flowers bright purple. 

 Probably an error.] 



A. majus L. Rough bushy places ; common on Rock, rare in
