 99. B. Yermmora Kotscby, Cypern, 224 (1865); uon L. 



This peculiar plant, constituting a connecting link between the both other species of the genus, 

 viz. B. Yervamora L. on the Canary-Islands and D. Amherstiana (Wall.) Hook. til. on the Himalaya- 

 mountains, was collected first time by J. D. Hooker and D. Hanbuky at Larnaka in Septembei' 1860, 

 and in 1862 by Kotschy at Larnaka and Acheropithi. It was originally held to be identical with B. 

 Yervamora, which it I'esembles very much as to the external habitus. Boissieh has first observed the 

 specific differences between these both plants. B. cypria is not, however, mentioned in his ''Flora orien- 

 talis", and its full description was not given before 189.3, by Schinz and Autrax. 



Widely distributed in maquis-formations, especially on rocky places, in the lowei' regions of the 

 island. On the northern side it grows from the neighbourhood of Lapithos (UK, Pcst, ,JH 833) to 

 Heptakomi in the Karpas (SR, JH 527), and along the southern coast from Larnaka (not obsei'vcd by 

 me) and Kalavaso (.JH 624) to Paphos (Post). It is also often met with in liedges near the villages. 

 This is one of the most interesting endemical types of the island.
