Very little indeed is known of the flora of Gallipoli and it was 
not surprising to find in Col. Durham’s collection several plants 
new to Europe and one species new to science (Astragalus. 
Durhamii). It is hoped that further collections from the peninsula 
will be received next year. 
The island of Lemnos was visited by Sibthorp and an account 
of his visit will be found in the Memoirs Relating to European 
and Asiatic Turkey and other Countries of the East, Edited from 
Manuscript Journals by Robert Walpole, M.A., 2nd ed., London, 
1818. Plants collected by Sibthorp in Lemnos are quoted in his 
Florae Graecae Prodromus and in the Flora Graeca Sibthorpiana. 
The Rev. H. F. Tozer also visited Lemnos, but though a smalf 
collection of plants collected by him in the Nearer East is pre- 
served at Kew (Kew Bull., 1920, p. 29), no plants collected in this 
island are contained in it. In his book The Islands of the Aigean, 
chapters xii. and xiii., there is an interesting account of the island. 
with many references to older authors. The entire absence of 
trees, with the exception of a few fig-trees and other fruit-trees, 
is especially commented upon as giving the scenery an aspect 
of great desolation, though the soil is very fertile in many parts. 
The flora of the other islands of the Northern Aigean, with the 
exception of that of Imbros, is much better known. Dr. A. von 
Degen in the Oesterr. Bot. Zeitschr. 1891, pp. 301, 329, has given 
a valuable account of the flora of Samothrace and Halacsy (l.c. 
1892, p. 412, 1893, p..1) and Bornmiiller (1.c. 1894, pp. 124, 173, 
212) have dealt with the flora of Thasos. An interesting desezip- 
tion of Imbros with a general account of the vegetation is given 
te ease A. G. Ogilvie in the Geographical Journal for August,

Mt. Hortiach and Lake Langaza), Harris 425. 
The plants oftenincluded under the Linnean name ransiclt 
hortensis show a wide, and, with a sufficiency of specim a 
continuous range of variation. Most authors Heth eit two 
extreme groups variously considered as species, subspecies, or 
varieties, namely A. pavonina, Lam., and A. stellata, Lam. How- 
ever, variations of these have been named and described and 
certainly all kinds of intermediates exist, whatever may be their 
actual status. The specimen quoted above (Harris 425) has 
exceptionally broad obovate sepals. Specimens quoted pre- 
viously by the writer as A. stellata, Lam., are now considered as 
mostly intermediates between typical oie of this species or 
subspecies (Briquet) and A. Shae
