Jaffa in the above list comprises the whole Jaffa district. 



Oleanders were frequently seen very heavily attacked with Aspidiotus 

 hederce Vail, and Ceroplastes floridensis Comst. was extremely common, having 

 apparently a wide range of food plants. Pseudococcus sacchari Ckll., which is 

 proving such a serious pest of sugar cane in Egypt, was found in Jaffa, but there 

 is only a very little sugar cane grown for local consumption, so it is not of 

 any economic importance.
