Capriioliaceae Vent. 



Lonicera etrusca Savi apurt Santi, Viagg. I, U.S (1795); Boiss. Fl. orient. Ill, 5; Kotschy, Cyi)eni, 2H2. L. 

 Peridymenum Sibtb. et Smith, Prodr. I, 148 (1806), quoad plantani cypriam; nou L. — Proliabiliter etiani L. imjilexa Gaudry, 

 Recbercdies, 197 (18.55); non Ait. nonir-jix. 



I do not believe there is any risk in referring Sibthorp's L. Peridymenum from Cyprus and 

 European Greece to this species. At his time L. etrusca, which is here everywhere frequent, was not 

 yet described, while on the other hand L. Peridymenum has not been observed in these countries by 

 modern botanists. Also Gaudry's L. implexa, which is mentioned as common in the island, most probably 

 belongs to this species, as the veritable plant of that name has never* been observed in Cyprus by other 

 collectors. 



Rocky places, ravines, common. Troodos (Michaelides!), Tsada (JH 735). 



var. Roeseri Heldr. in Boiss. Diagn. plant, orient. Sér. 2, II, 107 (1856); Boiss. Fl. orient. III, 5. 



Not rare, together with the typical plant. Between Prodrome and Galata (UK 920!), Hag. 

 Neophytes (JH 742). 



Valerianaceae Dumort. 



Valerianella echinata DC. Fl. Fr. IV, 242 (180.5); Boiss. Fl. orient. III, 102; Krok. Monogr. 9.^; Kotschy, 

 Cyperu, 231 (exil. synon.). Valeriana eehinata L. Syst. Nat. ed. 10, 11, 861 (1759). 

 Fields, not rare. Collected in several localities by Kotschy. 



V. olitoria Poll., Hist. Plant. Palat. I, SO (1776); Krok, Monogr. 88; Boiss. Fl. orient. HI, 104. Valeriana Locusta 

 a olitoria L. .Sp. pi. ed. 1, 33 (1753). V. Locusta L. Fl. Suec. ed. 2, 12 (1755); Sibth. et Smith, Prodr. I, 22. 



Fields, only indicated for the island by Sibthorp. — Kotschy has (Cypern, 231) referred Sibthoep's 

 VaJeriuna Locusta to the foregoing species, but this is a plant of quite a different character, with which V. 

 olitoria hardly can have been confounded. Like Krok. the monographer of the genus (Monogr. Valerianell. 

 89), and Halacsy (Fl. Graec. I, 750) I do not see any reason to doubt the correctness of Sibthorp's 

 determination. 



V. truncata Betcke, Valerianell. 22 (1826); Krok, Monogr. 38; Boiss. Fl. orient. Ill, 105 et Suppl. 284. V. erio- 

 carpa Kotschy, Cypern, 231 (1865) [Vidi specimiua!]; uon Desv. 



Fields, not rare: Kantara') (SR 95!), Yalia near Hag. Theodoros (JH 500). 



V. lasiocarpa Betcke, Valerianell., 26 (1826); Boiss. Y\. orient. Ill, 108; Krok, Monogr. 34. Fcdia lasiocarpa 

 Stev. in Mém. Soc. natural. Mosc. V, 350 (1817).

V. discoidea Loisel. Notes Fl. Fr. 148 (1810); Krok, Monogr. 83; Boiss. Fl. orient. Ill, 111. V. chloroihnta 

 Tbomps. Fl. Cypr. 14 (1906); non Coss. et Diir. Valeriana Locusta 5 discoidea L. Syst. Nat. ed. 10, 860 (1759). 



V. chlorodonta Coss. et Dur., which is indicated for the island by Thompson, is an Algerian 

 species, unknown elsewhere in the Levant. I therefore asked Mr. Thompson kindly to revise the determination 

 of the specimens in the Lascelles' collection, and as he had no opportunity to do so at present himself, 

 the revision was, at his request, undertaken by Mr. R. A. Rolfe at the Kew-Herbaiium. It appeared.
