This is closely allied to C. europaea, N. E. Br., and C. maroccana, 
, r., differing in its unspotted flowers, which are covered with 
white hairs inside, and also in its corona. It is an interesting 
discovery, as it is the first record of this genus in the Canary 
Islands. Living plants and flowering specimens in formalin have 
been kindly sent by Dr. Burchard to the Royal Botanic Gardens, 
Kew. '
