S. viridis L. Sp. pi. ed. 1, 24 (1753); Boiss. Pl. orient. IV, 630; Kotschy, Cypern, 267. 



Fields and hills, common in the lower regions. Valia (JH 487), Ormidia (JH 79, 80— varying- 

 with blue or white flowers, and with the bracts sometimes more or less blue-coloured). 



subsp. S. Hormimim L. Sp. pi. ed. 1, 24 (1753); Boiss. Fl. orient. IV, 631; Kotschy, C}qiern, 267; Thompson, 

 Fl. Cypr. 19. 



Only different from the genuine S. viridis by the bracts being much enlarged and intensively blue- 

 coloured. Intermediate forms are frequently met with, and perhaps the plant must be considered as a 

 mere variety of <S. viridis. Only experiments with seeds sown can decide, whether such apparent transition- 

 forms are in fact mere individual variants, giving an off-spring like either of the two types. 



Fields and hills, frequent everywhere in the lower pai-ts of the island. Vatili (JH 321).

 Boiss. Pl. orient. IV, 571; Kotschy, (Jj'peru, 270; Post in Mém. Herb. Boiss. 1900 no. 18, 97.

subsp. S. cypria nov. comb Micromeria cypria Kotschy, Cypern, 270 (1865); Boiss, in Sint. et Rigo, Iter cjT)rium 

 1880, No. 121 (Vidi in Herb. Barb.-Boiss.l). .9. graeca subsp. graeca var. paunflora Briquet, Lab. Alp. Marit. 420(1895), p.p. 



Briquet considers this plant, which is remarkable by its soft, long hairiness and broad, ovate 

 leaves, to be identical with Micromeria graeca var. pauciflora, described by Visiani from Dalmatia (Fl. 

 Dalm. II, 196 (1848)). I have not had an opportunity to see specimens of that plant, and can therefore 

 have no opinion as to the identity of the two geographically widely separated plants. 



Rocky places on Peiitadaktylos and Buffavento (UK! SR!).
