terms of which there is an ordinary pedis equivalent, ¢.g. 
“ specimina” for specimens, “ habitus” for habit. Mr. Holmboe 
writes English so well, that one wishes that his admirable work 
had been perfect in this respect. 
The following notes are the most important of those which 
bear upon the plants included in my paper on Cyprus Key 
which was published in this Journal for 1906, but Mr. Holmboe 
careful work naturally comprises many interesting i sostaksoris 
on other species. I take this opportunity of pointing out that 
my paper, which the Editor headed ‘The Flora of Cyprus,’ was 
primarily a list, with localities, of some 550 Cyprian phanerogams, 
and a few others, which Boissier had not recorded from the island 
in his Flora Orientalis. This explanation is given in my intro- 
a 
chiefly upon a collection of. mie 300 plants presented to Kew by 
r. A. G. an iss M. BE. Lascelles, and a smaller one made 
by the late Miss E. A. Samson, a wien were named by me in 1904. 
It was my intention to scene investigations on the flora of 
Cyprus, and eventually to publish a complete list of the Roeering 
plants and aig s the island; but this was stopped on hearing of 
isit to Cyprus in 1905 and of his forthcoming 
(the present)” publise ation. The author gives ample credit for my 
previous investigations, and he is quite in accord with the 
new Phi hi 
Botany, July, 1905. He also agrees in placing John Ball’s Juncus 
pared rom Cyprus under J. bufonius (see Journ. Bot. 1905, 
332), having examined with me Ball’s specimen in the Boissier 
ae ae after I had seen that at Kew 
the new species, both endemic, viz. Nepeta Troodt 
and Pied Thompsonit were in my list under other names. 
Holmboe says that probably Post’s Nepeta orientalis and a plant 
collected by Lascelles on Troodos, which I placed under N. Sid- 
thorpit, are his N. Troodi. The new Euphorbia is nearest to 
. Sibthorpii Boiss.; it includes a plant collected at Pissuri by 
Miss Lascelles, which I placed with H. Characias. Sibthorp 
identified the new species with H. stlvatica Jacq., and see 
with EH. Kotschyana Boiss. Holmboe remarks: ‘1 have only 
seen EL. Thompsonii at a single locality, viz. on dry slopes hopes 
maquis-shrubs near the village of Pissuri, — the si ~~ 
it as on 
re) 
of Prodromo (U. K. 899 in Herb. Imper. Vindob.) that I arrived 
at a definite conclusion regarding the nature of this plant. 
Probably endemical in Cyprus.’
