Stapelia Euuop/Ea. Guss. (Suppl. l.pag. 64.) 

 S. Gussonemia Lindl. Bot. Reg. tab. 1731. 

 Hab. Ad salinas in campo solibus cocto prope Portum Magnum. 

 Inveni etiam promontorii Charidemi fere ex ad verso in Tribus 

 Insulis, ubi Mauretaniam Tingitanam a Cacsariensi,quce nunc 

 Gallica, Malua amnis disterminat. Anno 1826 primus yidi 

 et nomine S. Europaeao docti Gussonei animum praesa- 

 giens, in schedis jam turn signavi; etiam antehac nasci in 

 Hispaniis stirpem stapelioideam audivisse asserit , sed non- 

 diim vidit La Gasca. 



Rhododendron Ponticum. Linn. 



Hab. In sylvis umbrosis inontium freto Herculeo impenden- 

 tium , ad rivulorum alpestrium margines , arbustum opa- 

 cum, 12-pedale. Legi inter oppida Algesiras et Asindo- 

 nem. 



Obs. This species originally discovered by Tournefort in Pontus, 

 was found likewise by Labillardiere in Syria near Seyde. I have not 

 had occasion to compare the Spanish specimens with those of the 

 original locality, but they are certainly identic with the Syrian plant. 

 Thus it appears that under the same latitude the plants of the Eastern 

 extremity of the Mediterranean are reproduced in the west. The ce- 

 dar of Lebanon reappearing on the mountains of El Rif in Morocco , 

 and the oak of the East which produces the gallnut covering the hills 

 of Spain, are other not less striking examples , whilst the subtropical 

 species which vegetate in Arabia betwean the 25 th. and 30 th. de- 

 grees of north latitude are found again in the Canaries. 



Campanula dichotoma. Linn. 



Hab. In monle Jo vis prope Dianium. 

 Campanula erinoides. Linn. 



Hab. In rupibus montium Lucentinorum Benifelim, in monte 

 Calpe, et alibi in Baetica. 



Obs. The C. Loeflingci, so abundant in Portugal, differs from this 

 species merely by its ontspread calyx with toothed lacinise, ) see no 

 distinction in the leaves except that they are hairy. In Brotero's 

 figure ( Phyt. Lus. tab. 18.) the teeth of the calyx are exaggerated. 

 It remains to be seen whether cultivation would not reduce the two 

 plants to a common type.
