152 SYNOPSIS OF 



Moras nigra, Willd. 



Vulg. Moral. 

 Hab. South of Italy. Persia. 



OBS. The climate of this part of Andalusia does not appear 

 suited for the cultivation of the mulberry (M. alba). In the 

 south district the black mulberry tree grows to an immense 

 size, and bears a large quantity of fruit. Mr. Sprague, the 

 very enterprising and hospitable American consul, has laid out 

 a mulberry plantation, a few miles beyond Gibraltar, but which 

 does not seem to thrive, owing to its bad situation. 



CUPULIFEILE, Rich.

 Quercus suber, L. J^ /i t 'u, 



Vulg. Alcornoque. 



Hab. South of France, Italy. Portugal, Spain. North 

 of Africa. 



OBS. A few specimens appear to have been introduced on the 

 rock. The cork-tree grows in abundance in the woods near St. 

 Roque, with the Q. lusitanica, var. /3. ;* hence the name of 

 ' Cork-wood ' is applied to a part of the extensive domains of 

 the Marquis Medina Sidonia. 



Quercus Ilex, L. iHt / 



Vulg. Incina. 



Hab. Mediterranean region of Europe. Asia Minor. 

 North of Africa. 



OBS. It is difficult to say whether this species was ever wild on 

 the rock.

 Fl. Lusit. Folia majora fere plana ovata margine obtuse crenata basi 

 saepe cordata, juuiora subtus tomentella.
