TWO NEW PLANTS FEOM MACEDONIA. 



By a. J. WiLMOTT, B.A., F.L.S. 



The plants described below are from a small but interesting col- 

 lection of plants made last autumn by Mr. J. llamsbottom in the 

 neighbourhood of Salonica, including Mt. Hortiasch and Mt. Kotos. 

 Mr. liamsbottom has been lent from the British Museum to the War 

 Office for protozoological work with the Salonica Force. The col- 

 lection is in the National Herbarium, and it is hoped that it will be 

 materially added to during the course of this year. Small collections 

 from Macedonia are received at the Museum from time to time, and 

 a full account of them will be given later. 



Paliurus microcarpus, sp. nov. Ab Spina-Christi Mill. (P. acu- 

 leato Lam.) diffcrt foliis quam istius latiuribus, basi magis rotundatis 

 minus obliquis, petiolis brevibus (2-5 mm. long.) vel subnullis, 

 fructubus inferiore parte profunde poculiformilnis nequaquam pateri-

 tam (-5-2 mm. latam) adscendentem vel jdus minus horizontaliter

Near Salonica. " Common on plateau." J. Bamshottom, no. 98. 



P. microcarpus is at once distinguishable by its fruit, which 

 appears small owing to the absence of the broad (5-9 mm.) wing 

 characteristic of P. Sjntm-Chrisfi. The fruits of the latter are 

 18-30 mm. diam., although the saucer-shaped basal portion is actually 

 smaller than the tea cup-shaped base of P. microcarpus. The fruit 

 of P. microcarpus reminds one more of those of some Chinese species, 

 an interesting fact in view of the statement that the two areas of dis- 

 tribution of Fuliurus are discontinuous. The specimen is extremely 

 fructiferous, a sprig 20 cm. long bearing 8 branches 9-11 cm. long 

 (shorter than in P. Spina-Christi) and 60 fruits. The differences 

 indicated in the leaf -characters may prove to be of individual natuiv, 

 for P. Spina-Chrisfi is variable in its leaves, although no specimen 

 seen quite matched our specimen in leaf.
