LIST OF SPECIES. 



Note. — An asterisk (*) is placed in front of the species which do not appear to have 

 been previously found in Palestine, about seventy in number, omitting mosses. 



RANUNCULACE^. 



Clematis cirrhosa, Linn. Jericho, Ramleh, and Jerusalem. Also at 

 Smyrna. 



Anemone coronaria, Linn. Tell Abu Hareireh and Gaza. In flower 

 last day of December. 



Ranunculus asiaticus, Linn. Jericho. Flowering in middle of 

 January. 



MENISPERMACE^. 



Cocculus leceba, D.C., var. 'approaches C. villosus, but petals entire, 

 fl. ? ' (Oliver). Trailing over acacia trees (A. tortilis) in the Ghdr el 

 Feifeh and es Safieh, but not common. 



*C. leceba, D.C., var. fl. c?. On 'Nubk' (Zizyphus), on the east side 

 of the 'Arabah, near El Tiba. This plant, with a woody stem a quarter 

 of an inch in diameter, or more, and veined ovate-orbicular leaves, had a 

 very distinct appearance from the foregoing wiry climber, whose leaves 

 were smaller and narrower. I think it may be found that there are two 

 species occurring. Cocculus leoeba ranges from tropical Arabia, Nubia, 

 and Abyssinia, to Egypt and to Sinai. An addition to the flora of Pales- 

 tine. The species appears in the ' Flora Orien talis,' amongst the addenda 

 to the fourth volume.
