Our plant might al.-^o be compared with H. nextsiUflunis Viv., a species distributed in Egypt and 

 Cyi'enaica, from A\-hicli, however, it differs more than from H. nivalis through several important charactei's. 



I have named this species after my friend, Mr. Luke Pibkides at Larnaka, who is most interested 

 in the scientitic exploration of his native island, and in every respect did his utmost to faciliate my resear- 

 ches in Cj^prus. 



Our plant seems to be rare. 1 found it, flowering in the beginning of March, on dry sterile fields 

 at Hag. Napa, 10 — 20 m. above sea-level (JH 71).
