220 List of Spontaneous Vascular Plants, liitlieito observed in Cyprus. 



E. Sinteaisii [Boiss, apud] Siutenis in Oesterr. bot. Zeitschr. XXXI, 194, etc. (1881) et in Sint. et Rigo, Iter cypriuni 

 1880, No. 69; nomen solum; Freyn in Bull. Herb. Boiss. VI, 986 (1898). 



An endemical species, related with K Heliosmpla L., E. aiguta Soland., E. criophora Boiss., etc. 

 As to external habitus it has most resemblance with the two latter species, but is easily distinguished 

 from these by its reticulate-ribbed seeds. 



In fields at Phaneromene near Larnaka and at Kythraea (SR 69!). 



E. cyhirensis Boiss. Diagn. plant, orient. Ser. 1, VII, 89 (1846) et XII, 109; Pl. orient. IV, 1098. 

 var. acutifolia Boiss. Diagn. plant, orient. Ser. 1, XII, 109 (185.3); Halåcsy, Fl. Graec. III, 100. E. cybirensts p 

 dehiscem Boiss, in DC. Prodr. XV, 2, 119 (1865); Fl. orient. IV, 1099. 

 Fields, vine-yards. Near Kephalorisso (SR 662!). 



E. pubescens Valil, Symb. bot. II, 55 (1791); Boiss. Fl. orient. IV, 1106. 



On the sea-shore below Lapithos, near the monastery of Acheropithi (.JH 831). 



E. Helioscopia L. Sp. pl. ed. 1, 459 (1753); Boiss. Fl. orient. IV, 1107; Thompson, Fl. Cypr. 338. 

 Fields, common! 



E. cassia Boiss. Diagn. plant, orient. Ser. 1, XII, 108 (1853); Fl. orient. IV, 1108; Kotschy, Cypern, 359. 



Sandy places between Morphu and Panteleimon (UK 923!), rocky places above Kythraea (SR 

 600!). The occurrence of this plant at so moderate heights above sea-level— the fiudingplace at Morphu 

 hardly lies so much as 50 m. above the sea — is noteworthy, because in Syria, according to Boissier, it 

 grows" in umbrosis regionis montanæ". 



subsp. E. Rigoi Boiss, in Sint. et Rigo, Iter cyprium 1880, Xo. 696 (nomen solum); Freyn in Bnll. Herb. Boiss. 

 VI, 987 (1898). E. Kotschyana Sint. et Rigo, 1. c; a planta Fenzlii diver.sissima. E. Troocli Post in Mém. Herb. Boiss. No. 

 18, 100 (1900); Thompson, Fl. Cypr. 21. 



As Freyn has pointed out, E. Rigoi differs chiefly from the typical form of E. cassia by its 

 external habitus. But as I had occasion to convince myself when observing the plant growing in free 

 conditions, it preserves the characters described by Feetn very constantly, and as it is also with regard 

 to its geographical distribution separated from the typical E. cassia, it is here registered as a distinct 

 subspecies. 



I have not seen specimens of Post's E. Troocli, but judging from his description and the finding- 

 place, it must be considered certain, that it is identical with E. Rigoi Boiss. 



Very frequent in the pine-forests on Troodos, from 1500 — 1900 m. above the sea (SR 696! JH 

 916). Endemical in the island. 



E. exigua h. Sp. pi. ed. 1, 456 (1753); Boiss. Fl. orient. IV, 1110; Kotschy, Cypern, 358. 

 Fields and hills. In the neighbourhood of Khrysostomo (UK). 



E. falcata L. Sp. pi. ed. 1, 456 (1753); Clarke, Travels, VIII, 443; Boiss. Fl. orient. IV, 1111: Kotschy, Cypern, 359. 

 Cultivated fields. Between Evrikhu and Morphu (UK). Already mentioned by Clarke. 



E. Pephis L. Sp. pi. ed. 1, 456 (1753); Boiss. Fl. orient. IV, 1112; Kotschy, Cypern, 359. 

 Fields, waste places, common in lower regions. Alethriko (JH 246). 

 var. niaritima Boiss, in DC. Prodr. XV, 2, 141 (1865); Fl. orient. IV, 1112. 



Sandy places on the sea-shores. Hag. Napa (JH 28). 



subsp. E. peploides Couau, Fl. Monsp. 174 (1765); Boiss. Fl. orient. IV, 1112. 

 Fields and waste places, common. Mazoto (JH 203), Hag. Napa (JH 19). 



E. Terracina L. Sp. pi. ed. 2, 654 (1762); Boiss. Fl. orient. IV, 1123. E. lemspcrma Sibth. et Smith, Fl. (iraec. 

 V, 51, tab. 465 (1825); Poech, Enum. plant. Cypr. 36. 



Sandy sea-shores at Salamis (JH 459). Also collected by Kotschy (according to Poech, but not 

 mentioned in Kotschy's own list).
