KoTscHY indicates A. rerticiUatus L. to be common on Cyprus and says, tiiat it is collected and 

 sold as a kind of vegetable by the villagers. I did not observe this species, which has according to Boissier a 

 considerably more northerly distribution. 1 therefore suppose, that Kotschy has confunded it with -1. 

 nciitifoUus, a species which it resembles much, and which is botii in Syria (Post, F1. of Syr. and Palest.. 

 ]). 7.s()) and in Cyprus generally applied in the manner mentioned by Kotschy.
