Totuni praeter inflorescentiam glabram brevLssime tomentoso-canura. Caulibus teretibus, elatis, ad 

 70 cm. altis. Foliis a ba.si amplexicauli-cordato late oblongis, h cm. long-is et 2.5 cm. latis, apice rotun- 

 datis, .superioribus triangulari-cordatis obtusi.s, omnibus dense punctis pellucidis ct ad margines 

 nigris spai'sis munitis. Panicula terminali ovata, ramis divaricatis. Laciniis calycis glabris, pellucido- 

 (sed non nigro-) punctatis, corolla diiplo brevioribus, lanceolatis, acutiusculis, margine giandulis 

 nigris breviter stipitatis obsitis. 



From the typical form of H. lamnjlnostnn this plant differs chiefly by the leaves, which are always 

 densely punctated with pellucid dots, furthei- by its narrow, acutish calyx-lobes, etc. It comes nearer to 

 subsp. H. (/racile (Boiss. p. m. p.), if that name is preserved for the forms with the leaves not pellucid- 

 dotted, but by this character it is sufficiently distinguished. From H. atomarium Boiss., which according 

 to my opinion must also be considered as a subspecies of H. lanuginosam Lam., it differs by the absence 

 of sessile black glands on the superfice of the calyx-lobes and other characters. Judging from the 

 description of Visiaki, 1. c, it seems very probable, that his H. supinum, at least partly, must be referred 

 to this plant and not to H. atomarium Boiss., as supposed by Boissiee (Fl. orient. Suppl. 129). Aschee.son, 

 on the labels of Sintenis' exsiccates from Troja, has given to our plant the name of H. supinum Vis., 

 a name overlooked by most authors and even unmentioned in "Index Kewensis"; but, as pointed out by 

 BoissiEH (1. c), Visiani has reckoned to his H. supinum, forms of H. tomentosum L., a species occurring 

 in Southwestern Europe, and I have therefore considered it necessary to give a new name to the 

 Anatolian plant. 



Dry slopes above Lapitlios, on calcareous soil (SR 6161, JH 836).— I have seen specimens of 

 the same plant from Bouloukli near Mersina in Cilicia (Balansa, PI. d'Orient, 1855 No. 669, intermixed 

 with H. gracile Boiss.), and the mountain of Ida near Troja (Sist. Iter trojan. 188.3, No. 602), also on 

 both these places growing on calcareous soil. 



H. perforatum L. Sp. pi. ed. 1, 785 (1753); Boiss. Fl. orient. 1, 809; Geunadius in Cypr. .Tourn. 1904, No. 5 

 (detenu/ \V. Tbiseltun-Dyer); Post in lltim. Herb. Boiss. 1900, no. 18, 92. BapaajjLO/.opTO. 



Common in the central part of the Troodos-mountains, often growing densely in fields and vine- 

 yards. Tioodos (Post), Prodrome (JH 933). To this species must probably be referred a plant from 

 Troodos, which Kotschy has designated as "H. (?) species, afflnis H. perforato, sine flore indeterminabile".
