 Habitat Canarienses (Lanz., Fuert.}, baud infrequens sub lapidibus. 



Pretty general throughout Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, tbe two 

 eastern islands of tbe Canarian Group, wbere it is not uncommon

 were both found in Gomera one by Mr. Gray, and tbe other by 

 Dr. Crotch (during his first trip to the Canaries).

Habitat Canarienses (Fuert.}, in aridis arenosis submaritimis juxta 

 radices plantarum fodiens.

 de Cabras, and subsequently by myself at Corralejo (in the extreme 

 north of that island).
