together with various Cyperacece, Grasses and water-plants, some 

 of which, and of the above, will no doubt hereafter be found in 

 Marocco. 



III. They contain some quite peculiar plants which are more 

 closely allied to endemic species of Marocco than to those of any 

 other country, and may have been derived from species that 

 originally were transported from that country. These are but 

 few, and are almost confined to species of the genus Monanthes, 

 which is limited to these countries and the Cape de "Verde 

 Islands, of Cactoid EuphorbicB, of succulent Sonchi, and of the 

 Kleinia division of Senecio. 



IV. They contain plants not found hitherto in Marocco, and 

 which are more closely allied to Mediterranean species than to 

 any others ; and these form a very large class. The data for a 

 complete list would require a very careful comparison of the 

 Maroccan species with the species described in the ' Phyto- 

 graphia ' and discovered since, many of which are unquestion- 

 ably founded on too slight or too variable characters.' 



It will be sufficient for present purposes to contrast the results 

 obtained from a selection of genera^ taken for comparison from 

 Ball's ' Spicilegium ' with the same from "Webb's ' Phytographia ' : — 



• On the other hand, many peculiar species have been added to the 

 Canarian Flora since the date of the publication of the Phytographia 

 (1836-50). 



' The genera, which are unduly multiplied in the Phytographia, are
