branches they receive, all the way up, from the other pair are 

 numerous and very prominent. 



In foliage this is much like 8. At her stone i Harv., but the leaves 

 are usually somewhat larger and more conspicuously nerved ; also 

 the inframarginal nerves are much stronger. The flowers of S. 

 Atherstonei, however, are quite different.

SOME SPANISH AND BALEARIC PLANTS. 



By Cedric Bucknall, Mus. Bac. Oxon. 



The following is a list of the more noteworthy plants collected 

 by Mr. J. W. White and myself in the Balearic Islands, between 

 April 23rd and May 5th, 1903, and between Aug. 3rd and 17th, 

 1904 ; and in Spain, by myself, between April 13th and 28th, 1904, 

 and between Aug. 24th and Sept. 6th, 1905. 



On these occasions we gathered a large proportion of the endemic 

 Balearic plants, besides a considerable number of those common to 

 the Mediterranean region. On our return from Majorca to Barce- 

 lona in August, 1904, we spent a short time on Montserrat, which 

 I had also visited in the preceding spring, on each occasion finding 

 some of the rarer plants of that beautiful and interesting mountain. 

 We are much indebted to the late Senor J. J. Rodriguez, of 

 Mahon, who has contributed so much to our knowledge of Minorcan 

 plants, and has discovered so many rare endemic species, for 

 introducing us to several gentlemen of that town who are interested 

 in botany, amongst them to Senor A. Pons, without whose kind 

 assistance, on both our visits, we should have been unable, in the 

 short time at our disposal, to reach the stations of several of the 

 rarer and more inaccessible plants. 



Our thanks are also due to Mr. Clarence Bicknell, of Bordi- 

 ghera, for his kind and valuable assistance in planning our tours, 

 and for the loan of books and maps. 



To avoid repetition I give a list of the localities visited. In 

 Minorca : The neighbourhood of Mahon and Villacarlos, the Cala 

 Mesquita, the Albufera, the Isla Golom, the Barrancos of Algendar 

 and la Val. In Majorca: Porto Pi and Torre den Pau, near 

 Palma ; Soller Port, Couma de Mameliouda, Barranco de Soller, 

 the Val de Ternellas and Ariant near Pollenza, the Monastery of 

 Lluch, and the mountain route through the Gorg Blau to Soller, 

 and Miramar. In Spain I visited Pozuelo, near Madrid ; Guadala- 

 jara, Aranjuez, Alicante, Elche, the coast near Valencia and the 

 valley of the Turia, El Desierto de las Palmas and Benicasim, near 

 Castellon ; Oropesa, Tarragona, Barcelona, and Montserrat. 



The species which I believe to be unrecorded for the Balearic 

 Islands are distinguished by an asterisk, and those which are 

 peculiar to those islands, or to the Iberian Peninsula, by the signf ;
