80 SYNOPSIS OF 



Coronopus didyma, Sm. 

 Hab. England. Malaga. 



OBS. Generally found on the neutral-ground, beyond the vege- 

 table-garden, in the neighbourhood of Mentha Pulegium ; as 

 also on steps leading to Windmill-road, &c.

 Hab. Europe Britain. 



Koniga maritima, R. Br. 



Alyssum maritimum, L. 

 Hab. South of Europe Britain. Barbary. 



Iberis Gibraltarica, L. 

 Hab. Gibraltar. 



OBS. This is by far the most beautiful species of candy-tuft ; 

 but strange to say, it is rarely cultivated in Gibraltar, whilst 

 other less beautiful species are found in every garden. This 

 species has as yet been found only in Gibraltar ; but it is quite 

 possible that it may grow on the opposite coast of Africa, all the 

 botanical treasures of which have not yet been determined. 

 Large masses of its light lilac-coloured flowers are seen on the 

 eastern side of the rock in the early part of summer, mixing 

 with the dark blue of the Scilla hemisphaerica. Specimens of 

 it are also seen on the sides of other parts of the rock, near the 

 Naval Hospital, Buena-vista, &c. 



Biscutella mierocarpa, De C. 



Hab. Asia Minor. South of Europe. 



Biscutella saxatilis, Boiss. non Schl. 

 Hab. Europe. North of Africa. 



OBS. Communicated by Dr. Lemaun. I have also gathered 

 specimens of Var. tomentosa.
