This is piobably an endemical species with nearest affinities to S. clUcica Boiss, et Balausa (Diagn. 

 plant, orient. Sei-. 2, IV, 29), which was collected 1855 on the mountains NE of Mersina. In the Herb. 

 Boiss. I have compared my Cyprian plant with the type-specimens of S. cilicica, which are kept there, 

 and found them very closely related but according to my opinion yet specifically different, as will be seen 

 from the following characters: 



S. cypria. S. vilicica. 



Caulibus rubellis, superne l)revissinip sh^i'duloso-pu- C.inlibus viridibus, superne viscidohirtis. 

 besceutibus. 



(Jalycibus breviter et dense gdauduloso-papillosis, solum (.'alycibus sparsim glanduluso-papillosis, etiam ad ner- 



ad marginibus dentium piUs longis albis nuiuitis. vilius dentium nee non latere ventrali tubi pilis longis 



albis divergentibns munitis. 



Corolla in tubo calycis inclusa. Corolla tubum calycis superante. 



In his paper quoted above Post has indicated the plant described by him to be akin to S. 

 syrhiea L. (= S', cretica Boiss., non L.), but this latter species differs much by its acuminate, densely 

 tomentose bracts, etc. 



Rocky places in the northern mountain-range. Hag. Hilai'ion, inside the walls of the olii castle 

 (Post, JH 822). Probably belonging to the same species is a young plant without fiowers, which Kotschy 

 has collected at Chrysostomos and determinated as S', pidlulam- Vent.
