104 SYNOPSIS OF 



GRANATE^l, Don. 



Punica granatum, L. 

 Hab. South of Europe. North of Africa. Asia Minor. 



OBS. The plant arrives at great perfection ; but it is not exten- 

 sively cultivated in Gibraltar, as the market is abundantly sup- 

 plied from its immediate neighbourhood. 



LYTHRARIE^E, Juss.

Ly thrum hy ssopifolium , Desf. ^s^; ^ $ & 

 Lythrum flexuosum, Lag. 



Hab. 



OBS. The L. hyssopifolium of Lam. is a very different plant ; 

 its ilowers are larger and distinctly pedunculated ; however 

 that plant is also said to grow in Gibraltar ; (Spiv and 

 Von Martins). I have also found a few specimens of the L. 

 salicaria, L., near St. Roque, behind the Almandrul ; but it is 

 not a plant frequently seen in this part of Andalusia; whereas 

 the L. flexuosum is seen almost on every meadow and road-side.

Tamarix gallica, L. 



Hab. France, Germany, Spain. Barbary. 

 OBS. Cultivated in gardens and in the Alameda. 



CUCURBITACE^E, Juss.
