F. cretica, Linn., ' var. ramulis subteritis incano-puberalis,' Oliver. 

 Wady el 'Ain and Jebel Usdum. As deserving of special distinction as 

 several of the above. Fresh varieties turn up in every wady, and it is 

 hopeless to endeavour to separate the numerous described varieties. It 

 would perhaps be preferable to follow Anderson in re-uniting them under 

 the general name. The above are Mons. Boissier's determinations of my 

 specimens. 



Zygophyllum dumosum, Boiss. Widy Hessi and Jebel Herteh to
