Note. Scseli annuum L. Sp. pi. ed. 1, 260 (17.50) is said by Sibthoep (Prodr. I, 19M) to occur in the mountains of 

 Cyprus, doubtless by some mistake It i.s an European species, which is not otherwise known from the Levant.

 var. Anatriches Kotschy, Cypern, 302 (1865); Boiss, 1. c. ,4va9pinxa. 



This is only an insig-nificant aberration, slightly distinguished by its fruits as described by Kotschy. 

 Dry fields and hills, sea-shores, very frequent in the lower regions of the island. 



F. cypria Post in Mém. Herb. Boiss. No. 18, 94 (1900). 



I have not seen specimens of this plant, and only know it from Post's description.

 Hisp. 91 (1840). Th. foenicuUfolia Sibth. in Walpole, Mem. 26, nomen nudum. 



There can hardly be any doubt, that this is the "Thapsia foetida" of Sibthoep, which he col- 

 lected at the Fontana amorosa in May, 1787. 



Rocky places, dry hill-sides on the peninsula of Akamas, frequent along the path from Khrysoku 

 to the Fontana amorosa (JH 786).

Vine-yards, dry hills. Tsada in the district of Paphos (JH 739). 



Note. Imperatoria Ostruthium L. has been indicated from the island by Sibthoep (Prodr. I, 199), who referred to 

 this species a plant, which he found on heaps of rubbish at Trooditissa. As I. Ostruthium is else quite unknown within the 

 area of Boissier's Flora orientalis, the statement of Sibthorp can hardly be reliable, ((_'fr. Boiss. Fl. orient. II, 1026). 



Zozimia abainthifolia Link, Enum. Hort. Berol, 1, 274 (1821); Boiss. Fl. orient. II, 1037; Kotschy, Cypern, 303.
