 orient. I, 482 et Suppl. 76. D. fyicuspidahis Kotschy, Cypern, 348 (lapsu calami!). 



Dry hills, common in the lower region, at least in the western part of the island. Was originally 

 discovered in Cyprus by Sibthorp, but has failed to be noticed there by other botanists, probably on 

 account of its late flowering season. Timi near Pap hos (.TH 713), Akamas (JH 782). 



D. multiptimtatu.s Ser. in DC. Prodr. I, 362 (1824); Boiss. Fl. orient. I. 482 et Suppl. 76: Post in Bull, lli'rli. 

 Boiss. V, 755. 



Rocky places in the mountains. Near Kythraea (SR 241!). 



var. Troodi Post in Mém. Herb. Boiss. Xo. 18, 91 (1900). 



I have not seen the type-specimens of this variety, but suppose the plant I have collected to be 

 identical with that one described by Post. It is chiefly characterized through its low growth (my speci- 

 mees are ca. 16 cm. high), divaricate ramiflcation and mucronate— not aristate — bracts. 



Rocky places about the Soldiers' camp and elsewhere in the central part of the Troodos-mountains 

 (Post, JH 1083). 



D. quadrilohus Boiss, in Tchihat. Asie Min. III, 1, 222 (1860). D. sulcatus Boiss. Fl. orient. I, 483 (1867); Thomps.

Closely related with the foregoing species. On Troodos (Lascelles, teste Thomps.).

 Fl. orient. I, 496. 



Has been indicated from the island by Sibthorp. 



D. ditfusns Sibth. et Sm. Prodr. Fl. (iraec. I, 285 (1806); Fl. Graec. IV, 85, tab. 396; Kotschy. Cypern, 347; 

 Halacsy, Fl. Graec. I, 205. D. pubesceyis p glabratus Boiss. Fl. orient. I, 507 (1867). 

 In Cyprus, according to Sibthorp. 



Ranimculaceae Juss. 



Paeonia corallina Retz. Observ. hot. Ill, 34 (1783); Boiss. Fl. orient. I, 97; Huth in Eugl. .Talu-b. XIV, 267; 

 Kotschy, Cypern, 319; Post in Mém. Herb. Boiss. 1900, No. 18, 90. P. decora Boiss. 1. c. (quoad plantam cypriam); uon 

 .Vnders. AXo'jTroy.op-ro. 



Kotschy's specimens from Livadia above Prodrome (UK 701) are reckoned by Boissieb to P. 

 deeora Anders., while they by Huth, the monographer of the genus, are quoted as typical P. coraUina 

 Retz. I have had opportunity to see the specimen bearing that numero in Boissier's herbarium, and as 

 the leaves are quite glabrous and the margins of the folioles entire, I must partake of Huth's opinion. 



Abundant in the pine-forest above Prodrome, where the plant was also collected by Kotschy. 

 I found it with unripe fruits (JH 882), and also quite young seedlings (JH 918). Also near the top of 

 mount Paputsa (Post, JH).
