A new European Piant.—A few weeks ago, Kew received 
from Mr. C. G. Field-Marsham, of Tunbridge Wells, a dried 
specimen of a plant which was collected on the steep cliffs of 
Cape Hellas, Gallipoli. It is apparently a form of Gonocytisus 
angulatus, Spach., a species new to the European flora. This 
plant is widely distributed in Asia Minor and is common in some 
parts. Specimens preserved in the Kew Herbarium indicate that 
the plant is found in the following areas: Bithynia, Troad, near 
Smyrna, Magnesia and Sardis, Caria, Isauria and Cilicia. No 
record of its having been previously discovered outside Asia 
Minor has been found. A good figure of the species is given in 
Sibthorp’s Flora Graeca, tab. 672, under the name Spartium 
angulatum, and : cpsrat oot will be found in Boissier’s Flora 
Orientalis, IT, p. 4
