A small par-eel of plants collected by Sergt. J. M. Russell 

 in the Paprat District, Krusa Balkan, Central Greek Macedonia, 

 arrived too late for inclusion in the first paper of this series 

 (Kew Bulletin, 1918, p. 249), and is dealt with here. The list 

 given below is chiefly of interest in adding- considerably to the 

 number of plants recorded in flower in July and August. A 

 previously explained (I.e., p. 259), the vegetation in mid-summer 

 "becomes scorched to a straw^ or pale-brown colour, and with 

 few exceptions other than xerophytic plants, green vegetation 

 and flowering specimens are limited to specially protected 

 localities such as nullahs." Most of the specimens recorded in 

 this paper are remnants of the earlier summer flora. The 

 Paprat District abounds in shady and shrubby ravines, and 

 though on a southern slope may be considered a favourable 

 locality for summer flowers, at least, when compared with the 

 dry hill-slopes immediately to the north of Salonika or the 

 exposed plains of the larger rivers. 



The collection is divided into two parts. The first consists 

 of specimens collected during the last week in July and the 

 first week in August, 1918. The second contains the plants 

 found in the last week in August, 1918. Unless otherwise stated 

 the specimens were collected in the flowering state. Species 

 recorded in the previous paper are in italics, those recorded for 

 the first time in this series are in clarendon type.
