196 Botanical Notices from Spain. 
erectus, L., Hvar pygmaeus, L., Ervum Ervilia, L., Asperula hirsuta, 
Desf., Cachrys pterochlena?DC., a small form of Scabiosa stellata, 
L., Velezia rigida, L., Atractylis cancellata, L., Silenes, leguminous 
plants, grasses, &c. On thevine-hills, near the convent of Los Angelos, 
lying half a mile to the north of Malaga, occurs the beautiful Cleome 
violacea, L., but not frequent; and on the neighbouring hills grow, 
in addition to the above-mentioned plants, Cynara horrida, DC., Po- 
dospermum calcitrapefolium, DC., Scorzonera hispanica, L., Chlora 
lanceolata, Koch, Linum strictum, L., L. tenue, L., Paronychia argen- 
tea and nivea, Gnaphalium luteo-album, L., Andropogon hirtus, L., 
Ononis picta, Desf., and others; in fields in the neighbourhood of 
the same convent, Scorzonera macrocephala, DC., and Phalaris no- 
dosa, L.; and in clefts in the limestone rocks of the Cerro Coronado, 
lying east of the convent, as well as on the rocks around the her- 
mitages (Las Hermitas) lying to the west, Campanula mollis, L., C. 
Frinus, L., Eleoselinum Lagasce, Boiss., which was just beginning 
to unfold its umbels, A/yssum campestre, L., Umbilicus hispidus, DC., 
Nigella damascene, L., var. minor, and various grasses. On the 
northern acclivity of the lofty, steep and sterile hills, among which 
the Rio Guadalmedina, flowing through Malaga, winds, occur in 
plenty Coronilla juncea, L., Lysimachia linum-stellatum, L., Convol- 
vulus menanthus ?Lk., a small Stachys, Linum fruticosum, L., and 
other mountain plants, and among them Orchis papilionacea, L., 
which had already ceased flowering at the beginning of this month ; 
on the southern acclivity I gathered here the pretty Leobordea lupi- 
nifolia, Boiss. 
The Cerro S. Anton, which I visited twice, is a steep limestone 
mountain, divided into two cones; it lies one league east of Malaga 
and a mile from the coast. On the way thither are found in the 
hedges gigantic tree-like shrubs of Ricinus communis, L., also Ken- 
trophylium arborescens, Hk., and here and there Physalis somnifera, 
L. Close to Malaga, on barren rocky acclivities below the castle of 
Gibralfaro, grows Echinops Rufio, L., and near the English church- 
yard the rare Statice egyptiaca, L. On the south-west acclivity of 
the S. Anton grow various species of Ononis, and on their roots 
here and there the splendid black-red Orobanche fetida, Desf. On 
the western ‘summit occur very rare Ervum Lenticula, Schreb., and 
Minuartia montana, LOfi. The eastern summit is somewhat higher, 
but has the same vegetation as the western, which descends toward 
the west in escarped rocks, in the clefts of which grow El@oselinum 
Lagasce, Boiss., Rhamnus pumilus, L., Lavatera maritima, Gon., and 
Silene velutina, Pour. At the foot of these rocks, under low bushes 
of Chamerops humilis, is found the rare Fumaria macrosepala, Boiss., 
the only locality hitherto known for this remarkable species.
