3. Soabiosa L. 

 1. S. maritimaL. 



Naturalised alien. Well established on a dry hillside in 

 St. Ouen's Bay in company with Cbntaueea paniculata, 

 where it has been known for many years. Probably in- 

 troduced long ago with lucerne seed. July, August. 

 A plant of the Mediterranean region, very local in W. France 

 and not native north of La Gironde (Lloyd) : subspontaneous 

 on the coast of Brittany about Brest (Liegard, "Flore de 

 Bretagne,'' an unreliable book). In the face of these facts 

 as to the distribution, it can hardly be maintained that it is 

 indigenous in Jersey. St. Ouen's Bay is prolific in casuals 

 and more or less naturalised aliens. 



Resembles S. Columbaria, but belongs in reality to a different 

 section of the genus (Vidua Coult.), which contains only 2 

 species and is thus defined by Lowe (" Flora of Madeira ") 

 " Tube of involucre 8-ribbed throughout from top to bottom 

 limb short, spongy, inflexed : calyx-tube sheathed at the base 

 limb narrow 5-setigerous, stipitate." Now united with 

 S. ateopurpurea L., a form with larger and deeper-coloured 

 flowers, which is the origin of the annual Garden Scabious. 

 The Jersey plant is var. pallidiflora Lowe. 



Campanulacese.
