PLANTS OF THE AZORES 27 



Lysimachia azorica Hornem. Very closely allied to our own 

 L. nemorum, with which indeed it is merged in Index Keicensis. 

 Watson considered it distinct ; an analogous case to that of 

 Potentilla insignis. I saw it sparingly in the Sete Cidades. 



Myrsine africana L. var. retusa DC. Near the Fundas, Lagoa, 

 &c. ; an interesting species with copious berries covered with 

 bloom, looking temptingly eatable, but when eaten producing un- 

 pleasant eifects. 



Vinca difformis Pour. This beautiful species was a great 

 adornment to the delightful woods of the Fundas. 



Centaurium lyulchellum Druce. In the Fundas, but not quite 

 typical, being laxer, and with slightly larger and paler flowers ; 

 perhaps worth separating as var. azoricmn. New to the Azores. 



Tecoma radicans Juss. This North American species is natu- 

 ralized to the west of Ponta Delgada. 



Linaria Cymhalaria Mill. Ponta Delgada ; Fundas. 



Antirrhinum Orontium L. Frequent, but, as in Madeira, with 

 paler flowers than our British plant. 



Vero7iica mregrina L. This North American species is natura- 

 lized in garden ground at Ponta Delgada and by the roadway in 

 the Fundas. — V, officinalis L. Ponta Delgada. 



Linaria Cymhalaria Mill. San Miguel, new to that isle. 



Mentha Pulegium L. Near Povoacao. 



Marrubium vulgare L. Near Ponta Delgada. 



Ballota nigra L. " Not recently collected," Trelease. I saw 

 it in Ponta Delgada. 



Plantago lanceolata L. var. eriophylla B.-Webb & Berth. Ponta 

 Delgada ; Lomba da Cruz. 



Alternanthera Achyranthes Br. Ponta Delgada; Villa Franco 

 da Campo. 



Polygonum hydropiperoides Michx. Fundas. 



Che7iopodium miirale L. Ponta Delgada. 



Euphorbia azorica Hochst. Ponta Delgada. 



Buxus sempervirens L. A narrow-leaved plant in the Fundas ; 

 probably planted. 



Salix cinerea L. Probably planted, but not given in Tre- 

 lease's list. 



Persea azorica Seubert. Sete Cidades. 



Mercurialis ambigua L. f. Ponta Delgada. 



Ficus repens Kottl. This Indian species was naturalized in 

 the Fundas, by the stream-side near the park of Viscount Porto 

 Formoso. 



Hedychium Gardnerianum Rose. This Indian species is com- 

 pletely naturalized in the Fundas, forming in many places the 

 chief undergrowth in the woods. 



Iris foetidissima L. Near Villa Franca. 



Amaryllis Belladonna L. Naturalized in a iew places. 



Canna indica L. Naturalized west of Ponta Delgada. 



Arum italicum Mill. Fundas ; Ponta Delgada. 



Richardia africana Kunth. Now abundantly and completely 

 naturalized by stream-sides in several places.
