OBS. Grows in great abundance on the eastern side of the rock, 

 and covers a large space of ground below the governor's cot- 

 tage. The beautiful violet colour of the calyx being permanent, 

 the flowers are sought after, for making everlasting bouquets for 

 fire-places.

OBS. Large quantities of this elegant plant are found on the 

 eastern declivities of the rock, generally on its edges. This is 

 no doubt the plant enumerated by Von Martius as the S. cor- 

 data. I have gathered the rare European species, S. aegyptiaca, 

 at Malaga, on a hill by the road leading to the English cemetery, 

 with many other plants, to whose locality Mr. Prolongo kindly 

 directed me.
