When Post wi'ites that the endemical plants of the island "presque exclusivement" occur in the 

 mountain-tracts'), this statement can not be maintained. In reality they occur within all the different height- 

 regions, and not few of them are pi'onounced lowland-plants. One of them, Anthemis tricolor, is distributed 

 from the level of the sea up to the highest mountain-tops. Within all the height-regions the endemical 

 plants are conspicuous in the vegetation, but it may perhaps be said that they quantitatively are most 

 predominant in the Alpine- and Mountain-regions. Endemical plants occur in most of the plant-societies 

 of the island, in the hydrophile societies, however, very scarcely. 



The majority of the endemical plants are such as have close relatives growing on the island itself 

 or in the neighbouring countries; especially many of them have distinct connections with plants of Syi'ia 

 and Asia-Minor. Some of them have also their nearest relatives in more remote countries. Thus the 

 nearest relative of Pinguicula crystalUna is P. hirtiflora Ten , the nearest growing-place of which is on 

 the Balkan peninsule. Saponaria depressa subsp. cypria is a close relative of the typical S. depressa on 

 Sicily and in Algeria and of a somewhat more deviating variety of the same species growing in Thessaly.
