■.gg List of Spontaneous Vascular Plants, hitherto observed in Cyprus. 



There can hardly be any doubt, that this is the Orohanclie tinctoria, which is so well described 

 in Forskal's Flora Aegyptiaco-Arabica, and Beck has therefore with good reason restored that name, 

 which has so long time been registrated as a synonym to various species. Whether C. lutea Hott'm. et 

 Link represents a good species or perhaps most properly might be considered as a geographically separated 

 subspecies of C. tinctoria (this being the oldest name), must be decided after examination of a larger material. 



Parasitical on the roots of Atiiplex Halimus on the sea-shore, near the light-house at Capo Gatto

SiBTHORp's figure, which is quoted by G. v. Beck and E. v. Halacsy as belonging to 0. rarnosa 

 L., seems rather to represent a form of 0. aegyptiaca Pers., the length of the corolla being about .30 mm., 

 while the corolla of 0. rarnosa does not exceed 17 mm. mm. (according to Beck). It should be remembered, 

 that at the time, when Sibthorp's observations were made, 0. aegyptiaca had not yet been described as 

 a separate species. 



This species is in Cyprus a very troublesome parasite, causing considerable damage on the crops
