List of Spontaneous Vascular Plants, liitlierto observed in Oyprus. 69 



A distinct and easily distinguished species, belonging to the section of Euthalhi Fenzl. From 

 A. pamphylica Boiss, et Heldr., with which species it has hitherto been confounded, it differs in several 

 important points: 



A. (i/pria. A. pamphi/lica. 



Foliis late ovatis. infra medium latituiliue maxima. Foliis obovat o-spathnlatis. uniuerviis. nervo ramis 



]ilurinerviis (vide supra!) birtellis. paucis anastomosantibus, glaliris (in var. li/cin Bdiss. bir- 



tellis). 

 Bracteis omnibus niiuutis aeieularibus. Bracteis inf eriorilius laiir e.ilatis, foliis similibns.

The external habitus of our plant reminds of some forms of .4. graveolens Schrcb., but this is a 

 perennial plant, which differs also by the characters of the seeds, etc. 



Rocky places in the Troodos-mountains, near the village of Prodiomo (JH sS8). Also collected 

 on Troodos by Sintenis (8R 7(13!). 



A. pampbTlica Boiss, et Heldr. Diagn. PI. Orient. .<er. 1. VIII. lOi' (IRlil); Boiss. Fl. orient. 1. 70i; Kotseby, 

 (.'ypern, 346. 



Rocky places. Prodromo (UK 868!). 



A. oxypetala Sibtb. et Sm. I'rodr. Fl. Craee. I, 30.3 (1806); Boiss. Fl. orient. I, 704 et Snppl. 116; K(jtscliy, 

 Cypern. 346. 



Chrysostomo (UK), rocks near Kantara (SR 233!). 



A. macrosepala Boiss. Hiagn. plant, orient. Ser. 1, I, 52 (1842); Fl. orient. I, 703. 



subsp. A. saponarioides Boiss, et Balaus. Diagn. plant, orient. Sér. 2, VI, 3.5 (18.i9). .4. macrosepala P minm- 

 Boiss. Fl. orient. I, 703 (1867). A. nana Boiss. Fl. orient. Suppl. 116 (1888); nou alibi. 



Sintenis' plant from Cyprus has as acuminate sepals as the type-specimens of A. snponarvjides 

 in Boissier's herbarium. According to my judgement they appertain to this species and not to .4. nawi, 

 who seems to be endemical on Crete. 



On Troodos (SR 762!). 



.•I. cretica Spreng. Syst. II. .396 (182.5): Boiss. Fl. orient. I, 699. .4. ciUata Sibtli. et Smitli, Prudr. I, 3(13(1806); 

 Fl. (iraec. V, 27, tab. 438; nou L. 



Rocky places in the mountains (Sibthorp). 



Alsine glohulosa Hal.irsy in Denksdir. .\kad. Wiss. Wien. XLI, 491 (1894). .4. Smithii Fenzl, Verbr. Alsin. 57 

 (18.33); Boiss. Fl. orient. I, 683 et Suppl. 114. Areiiaria globulosa Labill. Icon. Plant. Syr. Dee. IV, 6, tab. 3, lig. 1 (1812). 



Dry places. Omodos (SR 761!). 



A. brevis Boiss. Diagn. plant, orient. Sér. 1, VIII, 96 (1849); Fl. orient. 1, 683. .4. Mq/eri Boiss. Fl. orient. Suppl. 

 114 (1888); nou alibi. 



The plant from Troodos has smaller flowers than the typical .4. Meijeri, only ca. 4 mm. long, and 

 also differs from it by its 3-nerved leaves and sepals. Most probably it appertains to .4. hrevis Boiss.. 

 which may perhaps be considered as a subspecies of A. Metjeri, and is at any rate closely related with it. 

 The specimens seen by me are too much developed as to allow an examination of the stamens. 



Stony places, among gravel, in the Troodos-mountains. Near the Government Cottage (JH 879) 

 and at the o-uard-mans hut on Chionistra (JH 983). Also collected on Troodos by Sintenis (SR 760!).
