82 . SOME ACCOUNT OF THE 



among- my specimens by M. Boissler, The names are, I believe, 

 synonymous ; but the Petra plants had the fruits much more decidedly 

 pendulous. 



Brassica nigra, Linn, Gaza. 



B. ? sp., B. deflexa, Boiss. ? Bethlehem. Specimens insufficient, 



B. Tournefortii, Gou, Gaza. [Several indeterminable Crucifers, 

 chiefly Brassicae, were brought home.] 



Sinapis alba, Linn. Jericho. 



S. arvensis, Linn. Tell Abu Hareireh to Gaza. 



Carrichtera vellce, D.C. Wady Zuweirah to Btr es Sebi ; Jericho. 

 This species has the peculiar habit of keeping its cotyledon attached even 

 while in flower. 



*Enarthrocarpus lyratus, D.C, Btr es Sebi to Gaza, in several places ; 

 at Jericho. Known from Greece, Lower and Middle Egypt. An addition 

 to the flora of Palestine. 



E. ? sp. (probably B. strangulatus, Boiss.), but specimens imperfect. 

 Widy Zuweirah to Bir es Seb^. 



Zilla myagroides, Forsk. Frequent in Sinaitic peninsula. In flower 

 the last week of December at the Gh6r es Safieh, 



CAPPARIDE^.

C. droserifolia, Del. Wady el 'Ain ; 'Akabah, ? Gh6r es Safieh. In 

 flower and fruit in November, as was C. arabica. C. trinervia was barely

 Lowne,. 



Capparis spinosa, Linn., van y csgyptiaca, Boiss. Widies Zelegah 

 and el 'Ain, etc. Much more glaucous and smaller (usually trailing) than 

 the following. In Widy el 'Ain, where the two occur together, they look 

 widely different. The type occurs about Jerusalem.
