A FLORA OP GIBRALTAR AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 83 



S. officinalis, except in being shorter, with shorter, broader, less 

 acuminate calyx teeth. I. About Ince's, apparently cultivated ! 

 Dautez describes the station as "rocks on west slopes," and 

 Debeaux adds, " the indigeneity of this plant in the rocky and 

 elevated ravines could not be doubted," so it doubtless occurs 

 elsewhere, though I have repeatedly searched in vain for it. 

 Colmeiro thinks it not native. 



{S. officinalis L., S. hispanica L., and S. viridis L., are reported 

 by Kelaart and Gaudichaud from the Eock. None is probable 

 but S. lavandidcefolia may have occurred formerly.] 



[S. rotunclifolia is mentioned by Kelaart as found by San 

 Eoque road. There are three species of that name, none of them 

 Spanish.]

 cordate, bracts very broad, strongly veined, flowers pale blue.

 bourhood of Gibraltar, Rouy. 



S. bicolor Desf. Banks of streams ; locally frequent ; 5-6. 

 Very showy, often 3-4 ft. high, with large lavender flowers. 

 [I. Communicated to Kelaart.] III. i. By Cagancha ! Arroyo 

 Viejo ! Near Malaga Gardens ! Towards Alcadeza Crags !

 arched. Inflorescence very glandular, often short and dense. 

 I. Chiefly lower Eock ! III. i. and ii. ! 



Var. 2>rcBC0x Lge. (S. clandestina L.). Debeaux evidently uses 

 this name for the next species, but according to Mr. Pugsley 

 (Journ. Bot. 1908, p. 144) it stands for dwarf forms of S. Ver- 

 benaca. III. i. and ii. ! 



f S. horminoides Pourr. (non G. & G.). Similar places ; com- 

 mon ; 12-6. Always tall and eglandular, corolla much darker 

 and smaller than last, upper lip scarcely arched. III. i.
