The drawing here engraved was obligingly made by Miss 
Young in the island of Madera and communicated-by the Rev. 
R. T. Lowe with the following remarks :—* Sent from Grand 
Canary (to Madera) in 1829, by my friend P. B. Webb, Esq., 
then actively engaged in exploring the Natural History of the 
Canarian Archipelago in most of its branches, and from whose 
discoveries and researches the highest results may be expected. 
He then informed me that he had only met with Z. aphylla in 
a single locality in Teneriffe, though it is very common in Grand 
Canary. It is rarely found above the distance of a mile from 
the coast, and in hot dry sunny situations.”
