 think.] III. i. Near San Eoque Station ! Queen of Spain's 

 Chair ! Cork Woods, especially near Almoraima ! ii. Waterfall 

 Valley ! 



\B. Hypophyllum L. Woods and crevices of rocks ; locally com- 

 mon; 12-4. Floral bracts small, subulate. I.! III. ii. Mountains ! 



\B. Hypogloss^im L. Similar places; rare ; 2-4. Floral bracts 

 large, foliaceous. I. Winkl. III. ii. S. de Palma, Bev. 



Asjmragus acutifolius L. Bushy places and woods ; 8-9. Sub- 

 cHmbing, phyllodes dark green, fascicled, 1^-3 lines long, flowers 

 1-2. I. South and west, A'., D. III. i. About San Roque and 

 S. Carbonera, D. Almoraima Soto ! ? a very long-spined form. 



A. ap)hyllus L. Bushy places and open fields ; frequent; 3-5. 

 Erect, phyllodes stout, solitary, rarely fascicled, 1 in. or more long. 

 Flowers one or several. III. ! I have noticed this scattered all 

 over the country, but never in flower or fruit, so made no records. 

 Var. sttpularis Baker (^1. liorridus L.) has stouter, very long 

 phyllaries, often 2-3 in. long. III. ii. Algeciras, Nee.

LlLIACE^. 



Fritillaria hisitanica Wikstr. var. hispanica Baker. Rough 

 slopes ; rather rare ; 3-5. I. West slopes, rare, D., K., Lem. 

 III. i. S. Carbonera, Bev. ii. S. de Palma, Bev., Willk. Will- 

 komm's record is for F. messanensis Raf., which Debeaux says has 

 been confounded with F. hispanica. 



Var. stenophyUa Baker is hardly distinguishable by its 

 narrower leaves, smaller less tesselated perianth, and shorter 

 style branches. It seems to be our commoner form. III. i.

 Woods, Hurst ! ii. Occasional mountain slopes ! iii. Fields near

 3-4. III. i. South slopes of San Roque, Wk. Near Almoraima, Wk. 

 Common round Queen of Spain's Chair, K., D. I formerly found 

 this commonly above Campo Common, but have recently searched 

 for it in vain. It may have been exterminated by cultivation. 



Ornithogalum narbonense L. Sandy fields, &c., occasional ; 

 4-5. Scarcely distinct from next and perhaps confounded with it. 

 Perianth pure white with narrow green keel, filaments longly 

 attenuate, scarcely half perianth. III. i. At foot of San Roque
