cliffs above Tenerra, Caldera, Sprague and Hutchinson 466; cul- 
tivated by Dr. G. V. Perez at the Villa Orotava, Tenerife. 
This is reputed to be a valuable forage crop (vide Dr. Perez), 
and is known to the peasants of La Palma as “‘ Gacia blanca ”’ ; 
the local name in Webb’s time was “‘ Herdanera.’’ It is, how- 
ever, neither so good nor so vigorous a forage plant as ‘‘ Gacia,”’

It gives the writer much pleasure to associate with this species 
the name of Dr. G. V. Perez, who has provided a liberal supply 
of his cultivated Canary Islands’ Cytisi, and whose kindness to 
the writer and his companion during their visit to Tenerife will 
not be readily forgotten.
