Remarks ou the most Iiniiort;int Plant-Societies of the Islanil.

Unger has described the "kriiuterreiche Bergmatten" of the low mountain-slopes, situated south 

 of the Troodos-mountains and extending towards the Southern coast,') and Sintenis mentions' from 

 the neighbourhood of Kythraea "sti'auchlose Berglehnen" with a rich flora of herbaceous plants.'^ Very 

 likely the vegetation, which both of these authors refer to, covers what is in this work, after the example 

 of Warming, described as rock-steppes. 



As will be seen by the list below, a considerable number of species may be found in the rock- 

 steppes of Cyprus. In fact, very few of the plant-societies, occuiring in the island, vary so much as to 

 composition; especially a motley multitude of herbaceous plants will be met with in the rock-steppes.
