List of Spoilt aiicous Vascular Plants, liitlicrto observed in C.vprus. 1S5 



This beautiful dwarfish Caiiina has been described by Post as a variety of C', hinala L., but i.s 

 according- to my judgement certainly a good species. It is nearest related to C. lanata. but seems to 

 be veiT well distinguished by its low stature, the shape of the leaves, which have also much shorter 

 spines, and especially by the characters of the scales of the involucre, described above. 



On dry, hard soil, flowering in August and September. Common along the road from Nikosia to 

 Agridhi (JH 1165); above the Elias bridge (Lascelles, teste Thomps.). Post does not mention, where 

 he has collected his specimens.
