Swampy ground, near water-sources, hitherto only known in the central part of the Troodos- 

 mountains, but there collected in several localities: Evrykhu (Sibth.), Commanderia (Bauer), about Pi'o- 

 dromo (UK, SR, JH 945), Platraes (Miss Wichell!), Chryso-vrysi between Troodos and Kyperunda 

 (JH 857). Endemical in Cyprus. 



Orobauchaceae Lindl.

 t', lutea Hoffm. et Link. 



As Beck has pointed out, the large yellow Cistanche, which has been collected in Egypt, Arabia, 

 Syria etc. by various travellers, seems to be different from C. lutea (Desf.) Hoftm. et Link, which grows 

 in the western Mediterranean countries. The bracts are narrower, ovate-lanceolate, the calyx longer, with 

 shorter lobes, the antherae are less distinctly apiculate. The stem is taller and thicker, sometimes up to 

 1 m. high. By these characters it approaches towards C. tuhulosu (Schenk) Wight, which differs however, 

 besides by its purplish flowers, by still longer calyx and narrower bracts, not so much expanded lobes of 

 corolla and quite pointless antherae.
