126 SYNOPSIS OF 



nearly five months of the year. I have occasionally seen 

 flowers of a pale white colour, from plants growing on the 

 sides of old ramparts. 



Campanula erinoides, L. 

 C. loefflingii, Boiss. 



Hab. Portugal, Spain. North of Africa.

Hab. Mediterranean region of Europe. Asia Minor. 

 North of Africa. 



OBS. This elegant species is chiefly found about the centre of

 difloram and other species are cultivated in gardens. 



OLEINE^E, Hoffsgg. 



Olea Europaea, L. 

 Var. /3. sylvestris. 

 Olea oleaster, L. et Hoffin. 

 Vulg. Aceytuno. 



Hab. Mediterranean region of Europe. Asia Minor. 

 North of Africa. 



OBS. The var. a. is not cultivated in Gibraltar ; there are scarcely 

 a dozen specimens on the rock. On the road to Grenada the
